The link to the site is: www.allwell.tv When I say it encodes the commands on the command line I mean exactly that.Pressing the remote control you can see the codes actually appearing on the command line (console).Thus we need to encode freevo to respond to 2 kind of commands eg: the down-arrow on the keyboard will move the curser down as well as cntrl-] from the remote control device. I found a reference to this on the same site from a person who had the same problem. The application is a different one but you can get the idea. http://www.allwell.tv/Download/MPEG/Remote_Program/remote_program.html The list of commands the remote control sends can be found here: http://www.allwell.tv/Products/Set_Top_Box/IR_Device/ir_device.html > If your commands totally bypass lirc and there is some other way of > capturing them it is possible for you to write a plugin that listens for > the commands then send them to the rest of Freevo.
