[Nmh-workers] mhfixmsg on a pathological mail

[Håkon Alstadheim]

Hi all, I'd really like to keep base64 to a bare minimum in my
mail-store, but then along comes monstrosities like the attached. Trying
to run mhfixmsg on it just removes the entire body of the mail.

I just tried running the nmh-1.7-RC2 version, but result is same.

I'm not holding my breath, but maybe the attachment could provide a
test-case ...

Hi All,

                I’m happily running mythbuntu 16.04.2 and have had lircd working with devinput to receive my MCE IR remote control input quite happily.

 

lsusb shows the device as:

 

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0471:060c Philips (or NXP) Consumer Infrared Transceiver (HP)

 

                For ages I’ve been wanting to play with the transmit side of the mceusb device but all my attempts to use irsend(1) fail with:

 

address@hidden:~# irsend -d /dev/lircd  SET_TRANSMITTERS 0

irsend: command failed: SET_TRANSMITTERS 0

irsend: hardware does not support sending

address@hidden:~# irsend -d /dev/lircd  SET_TRANSMITTERS 1

irsend: command failed: SET_TRANSMITTERS 1

irsend: hardware does not support sending

address@hidden:~# irsend -d /dev/lircd  SET_TRANSMITTERS 2

irsend: command failed: SET_TRANSMITTERS 2

irsend: hardware does not support sending

address@hidden:~# irsend SEND_ONCE "devinput" "MENU"

irsend: command failed: SEND_ONCE devinput MENU

irsend: hardware does not support sending

 

I can see that various lircd and mceusb kernel modules are loaded but I’m at a bit of a loss as to how to get IR transmission working:

 

address@hidden:~# lsmod|egrep '(lirc|mce)'

ir_lirc_codec          16384  0

lirc_dev               20480  1 ir_lirc_codec

ir_mce_kbd_decoder     16384  0

rc_rc6_mce             16384  0

mceusb                 28672  0

rc_core                28672  14 ir_sharp_decoder,ir_xmp_decoder,lirc_dev,ir_lirc_codec,ir_rc5_decoder,ir_nec_decoder,ir_sony_decoder,mceusb,ir_mce_kbd_decoder,ir_jvc_decoder,ir_rc6_decoder,ir_sanyo_decoder,rc_rc6_mce

 

The kernel does recognise the device and notices when the IR transmitter is plugged in:

 

address@hidden:~# dmesg|grep mce

[    0.016824] mce: CPU supports 6 MCE banks

[   13.332036] Registered IR keymap rc-rc6-mce

[   13.338220] input: MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse (mceusb) as /devices/virtual/input/input11

[   13.343049] rc rc0: lirc_dev: driver ir-lirc-codec (mceusb) registered at minor = 0

[   13.548043] mceusb 2-2:1.0: Registered   BB+ Dongle(e.d) with mce emulator interface version 1

[   13.548047] mceusb 2-2:1.0: 2 tx ports (0x1 cabled) and 2 rx sensors (0x1 active)

[   13.548084] usbcore: registered new interface driver mceusb

 

I have read that the devinput lircd driver doesn’t support transmission but I can’t seem to find the appropriate one to use for the mceusb device:

 

address@hidden:~# lircd --driver=help

Driver `help' not supported.

Supported drivers:

        accent

        alsa_usb

        asusdh

        atilibusb

        atwf83

        audio

        audio_alsa

        awlibusb

        bte

        bw6130

        commandir

        creative

        creative_infracd

        default

        devinput

        dfclibusb

        dsp

        dvico

        ea65

        ftdi

        i2cuser

        irlink

        logitech

        macmini

        mp3anywhere

        mplay

        mplay2

        mouseremote

        mouseremote_ps2

        null

        pcmak

        pinsys

        pixelview

        samsung

        sb0540

        silitek

        srm7500libusb

        tira

        tira_raw

        udp

        uirt2

        uirt2_raw

        usb_uirt_raw

        usbx

 

Ideally, I’d like to learn how to manually run the appropriate lircd command from the command-line, specify all the needed options and get it working with irsend independent of the mythbuntu startup scripts.

 

Any help or advice hugely appreciated!

 

Cheers,

 

Doug
