Hi felix, Thanks for the info. I have now successfully recorded a couple of remote controls. As an aside, I'm still having problems with the downloaded LIRC codes for my Sony TV. For some reason I have to press each button twice to get a result. I'll try to record the Sony TV remote to see whether it's a problem with the LIRC file (the exact remote file wasn't available so I grabbed the next nearest model number!).
Anyway the real reason I'm trying all this stuff out is that I've created a working plugin to web enable IR commands making a kind of web enabled universal remote. The main reason for this is that I want to enable a TV/DVD/etc to be controlled via a wi-fi enabled PDA or phone (e.g. Nokia 770 or nokia N80 when it is released). A small HTML file containing the remote control commands is manually configured (WebIRRemote/HTML/Default/plugins/WebIRRemote/index.html) after the plugin has been installed. The plugin generates IR commands by sending the commands to the IRBlastSend function in the IRBlaster plugin when buttons are clicked (an IR Emitter must be plugged in). The HTML file is accessed from 'Web IR Remote' hyperlink added to the Slim Server home page or directly at http://localhost:9000/Default/plugins/WebIRRemote/index.html Given your considerable experience creating the IR Blaster plugin, I would appreciate your guidance on a couple of things: - Would this make sense to be incorporated in to the IRBlaster plugin? If not then I'll maintain separately. - Would it be difficult to make the remote layout configurable via the gui (much like the setup of IRBlaster)? This could be complicated because the button layout is best controlled through set of tables (one for each remote) which might be difficult to code. Any thoughts are most welcome! +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: WebIRRemote.tar | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=925| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- kefa Fedora Core 4, Slimserver 6.2.1, Netgear DG834GT Squeezebox 3, Primare SPA20, Monitor Audio GR20 Squeezebox 2, Denon UD-M30, Monitor Audio PMC703 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kefa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=421 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21285 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
