surely this is where we roll on with a wi-fi head such as nokia 770 (or the new mobile phones that are about to grace us with their presence) to control any ir devices via the squeezebox. With this in mind I have created a plug-in that enables any ir device (cd player, amp, tv, etc)to be controlled using the irblaster plug-in and output.
at the moment the plugin requires the IRBlaster plugin to be installed with the appropriate remote *.conf files (these can be created for any remotes using the 'learning' facility available with the plugin from Slimserver v6.2.2). It also requires an HTML template file to be manually modified with the button layout and commands required for your remote, but this should be pretty straightforward if you have more had more than a sniff of HTML experience. Just modify the appropriate section in the following file: WebIRRemote/HTML/Default/plugins/WebIRRemote/index.html (scroll down to the comment lines that start with // for instructions) There are probably a few things to be ironed out, someone with plug-in expereience could probably point me in the right direction as to adding some appropriate checks and balances. However, for me it all works fine. To-do is to remove the need to edit the HTML template and make the layout manually configurable from within the web interface itself (much like within the IRBlaster plugin configuration).
