Re: [mythtv-users] *Remote* remote control

Couldn't you use the built-in client/server architecture of LIRC to 
accomplish this? Have a local lircd or WinLIRC (which a quick google 
seems to verify will do it as well) server running with an IR receiver 
that connects to a lircd on your primary frontend. You said across the 
network so I assume you have a PC in the same room as the TV. I know for 
a fact that it works well lircd to lircd. I used a laptop's IR port 
connecting to the frontend across ethernet. The dicey part is whether 
WinLIRC supports it. My apologies if I misunderstood your intentions.

Here's another pie-in-the-sky request.
Is there some kind of way I can control the frontend machine through 
the network?  We're currently in a rather spread-out place, and 
sometimes I'd like to watch tv and programs another floor away.  The 
frontend and backend are all on the same machine, and the output from 
that is piped all over the house.

LIRC seems to be able to signal the app to do things, is there some 
way to extend that even more?
