I've been thinking about adding support to the IR blaster plugin to allow an API to send arbitrary IR commands. I want to be able to use my snapstream firefly to send commands to my stereo via my squeezebox's IR Blaster. I also have a 770, hrm.. not a bad idea.. I thought about buying the harmony 890.. but it's just too expensive to not have bi-directional data. Also, every review says the windows setup software sucks.. and I don't use windows.. ;) -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31665 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
