So what's the usage scenario for that? The ability to to use the MVP remote as a universal remote by having the MVP retransmit the codes? That doesn't seem all that compelling, or more importantly, worth the effort, vs. using a cheap universal remote. I could see some benefit to using an MVP as an Ethernet connected IR blaster so a MythTV server could control a set-top-box that's at some distance from the server, but that seems like a rare scenario. (Usually the set-top-box is placed close to the computer with the capture card.) A bit more compelling would be using the MVP to replay "macros" that reconfigure your sound system - say turning on a surround sound amp and putting it into movie mode, or prior to starting music playback, putting it into music mode. That'd be a bit harder to pull off with a cheap universal remote, but as I understand doable with the high-end $80+ remotes. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Mvpmc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mvpmc-users mvpmc wiki: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/
