Well, I'm 2/3 done with a hack of the type that both you and I are on
the same page about. I worked at it for a little while about a month
ago, and just haven't gotten around to finishing it.
I have a Linux HTPC, a Harmony One remote, and an SBR. I have set up
the Harmony to emulate the SB3 remote. I have set up LIRC to recognize
these SB3 IR codes. I have also written a few simple scripts that are
sent to Squeezecenter and control the SBR. The scripts are as simple
as the following, which is a pause/play toggle.
Code:
--------------------
#!/bin/bash
echo '00:04:20:16:1a:65 pause' | nc mythbox 9090 -q 1
--------------------
The MAC address is the SBR, and mythbox is a box running my
Squeezecenter. The CLI documentation is all that's needed to simple
variations on this.
The only thing I have left to do is to write a config file pointing to
those scripts for LIRC's irw program, and I also need to get irw to
start on boot.
You could do the same thing... LIRC does run on OS X. This isn't
entirely trivial stuff though. IMO, LIRC is a complete PITA to
configure. I guess it's necessarily so, because everyone is trying to
use a different IR receiver, a different remote, and are trying to
control different programs.
