+
+This plugin extends the remote control capabilities of vdr.
+The following remote control devices are supported:
+
+(a) linux input device driver ('/dev/input/eventX', X=0,1,2,...)
+ (currently not supported on FreeBSD)
+
+(b) keyboard (tty driver): /dev/console, /dev/ttyX
+
+(c) TCP connection (telnet)
+
+(d) LIRC
+
+(e) some(?) FreeBSD uhid(4) devices (experimental support added by this port)
+ To use, add something like this to vdr_flags: '-Premote -h /dev/uhid0',
+ (re)start vdr, then the osd should ask you to configure the
+ remote by pressing the buttons you want to assign.
+
+ Note: If your remote is detected as a keyboard you'll have to
+ tell ukbd(4) to ignore it first by doing (as root) something like:
+
+ usbconfig add_dev_quirk_vplh 0x1241 0xe000 0 0xffff UQ_KBD_IGNORE
+
+ (and possibly unplug it for a moment or reset it via usbconfig,
+ 0x1241 there is the vendor id, 0xe000 the product id of the
+ device, you can get yours by doing
+
+ usbconfig -d 1.2 dump_device_desc
+
+ and looking for idVendor and idProduct, -d 1.2 there corresponds
+ to ugen1.2 listed by usbconfig w/o args.)
+
+ You can check with:
+
+ usbconfig show_ifdrv
+
+ if the device is then listed as ugen...: uhid... you're good to go.
+
+ 2nd note: If vdr cannot open your uhid device check it is not claimed
+ by xorg:
+
+ fstat |grep uhid
+
+ If it is you may need an xorg.conf(5) with manually defined
+ InputDevice sections for mouse and keyboard and
+
+ Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
+
+ in the ServerFlags section.
+
+ And if for some reason you want to reassign the buttons on the
+ remote you can stop vdr and do:
+
+ touch /usr/local/etc/vdr/channels.conf
+
+ and/or remove uhid entries from
+
+ /usr/local/etc/vdr/remote.conf .
+
+ When you then start vdr again it should ask to configure the
+ remote again.
