Trouble with irrecord - doesn't seem to communicate w/ dev

[KShots]

Typing "irrecord -l test.conf" looks like it starts correctly, but I cannot convince it to "see" my receiver. Any remote I point at the receiver does not engage the red reception LED. On the other hand, running irw doesn't show anything, but the red reception LED responds to everything.

I've tried the following:

Code: Select all

sudo irrecord -l --driver=uirt2usb_raw --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 test.conf

I have the following drivers installed:

Code: Select all

rich@basilisk ~ $ sudo lircd --driver=?
Driver `?' not supported.
Supported drivers:
        uirt2usb_raw

What am I missing?

irrecord times out after 10 seconds of not seeing anything from any remote and stops (and is there a way to prevent that? My IR receiver is over 200 ft. away from my screen (using a USB extender) so I really have to run to hit the 10 second limit
