Using IrScrutinizer to record buttons now also works, which is great.

The remote seems to be more complex than I thought, though. First, some
buttons use the RC5x protocol. Second, there are two buttons
("CD"/"NET") which change the codes of the keys. E.g., while the number
keys send out RC5 codes when in CD mode, they send out RC5x codes when
in NET mode. Thus, I have recorded some of the keys with IrScrutinizer
and have appended them as second remote in my lircd.conf:

Strangely, irw shows pushed buttons only for the RC5 codes, not for that
new remote with the RC5x codes. Any idea why that could happen? (lircd
logs that it's using both configured remotes.)


For my purposes using just the RC5 keys is fine. As I plan to upload a
complete lircd.conf somewhere it would be nice to include all buttons.


Best,
