[MPlayer-users] Lirc Mplayer and WinTV Nova-T

[raid517]

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I don't seem to have a file 
called rc.local. I am using debian Sid Unstable, so I don't know if this 
is significant.

As I said in my previous post I did a little research and found a site 
that provided two files which I appear to need:

http://staff.dstc.edu.au/croy/mythtv/lircd.conf

and

http://staff.dstc.edu.au/croy/mythtv/lircrc

for lirc and my TV card. These are the correct versions for my card. 
(WinTV Nova-T). But Mplayer gives no clue *where* to put them. My home 
directory is simply /home/raid517 so should I just place these files in 
/home/raid517?

Is this really all I need to do?
