All external interfaces such as this are being done through USB. So to use an IR blaster you will need a USB IR blaster, there are quite a few on the market. Someone will have to write an applet that talks to this USB device and sends out the codes. I don't think there is any direct way to use as is the existing IR blaster plugin, this runs on the server side and sends codes to the player via slimproto, currently slimproto is being read by squeezelite, which just deals with the audio and ignores the special codes such as IR. Jivelite which is he part that has the lua interpreter which can talk to the hardware doesn't read slimproto. So some other way will have to be written to perform the function. (Note: I did NOT say it's impossible, just not written yet!) I'm not sure whether it will be written entirely as an applet, or a combination of applet and plugin, Either way could work depending on what functionality is desired. Anyway, if there is enough interest I'm sure someone will write something. BTW this does not require the CSP1 (or 2) hardware, , since it just uses USB it can work right now on a wandboard, so if there is someone just itching to start working on this it can be done right now.
