Hmmmm, I get it... "Universal Remote Plugin" This could be the ticket I'm looking for. SD via Logitech should have access to Harmony's IR codes from the vendor's that their remotes already support. (I'm assuming that the IR emitter in the Controller supports such Harmony codes and that these codes are not propretary stuff) SD gets access to the IR codes for receivers and provides them to the Remote plugin developers to incorporte them in their plugins. Just to clarify, a plugin can be implemented so that it can control my receiver via the SB Controller IR using menus accessible thru the thumbwheel. Eg. scroll to Receiver, Select, On/Off, click Ok... Select, Volume, turn the wheel slowly to the righ to raise the volume.. etc, etc. If this is possible, I won't have to wait until Logitech/Harmony incorporates Jive in their remotes... Heck, we don't even know for sure if they "plan" to incorporate it. -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
