I finally just gave it a crack myself and wrote up a ruby script that controls Amarok with the remote, but I was wondering if there was a better way to do this - something more generic so it would work on things other than Amarok. Also, I have to start it up manually when I reboot with "sudo cat /dev/hiddev0 | ruby remote.rb" because it has to have root permissions to cat from /dev/hiddev0, but if I run it in a startup script it actually runs AS root - and I'd rather not run my music player as root.
Other than that it works great on my machine (1.6 Ghz Intel Mini running Ubuntu 6.10). What do you think? Are there ways to improve this? Does it work on your distro/machine? I'd like to know how I can make it better and hopefully set up a package that's easy to distribute/configure.
