Question: Are you interested in IR-over-IP?
- Yes, I'd like to have IRoIP.
- No, I don't care.

like this:
Code:
--------------------
<squeezeIR>
<Profiles>
....
</Profiles>
<Menus>
....
</Menus>
<IRoIP>
....
</IRoIP>
</SqueezeIR>

using chains of commands that control different pieces of equipment in
one event. It is also hard to code as the file downloads are
asynchronous. I'd have to download SqueezeIR.xml, go through it, look
for the references to the extra files, request them from the server,
wait for them to be downloaded one at a time, check that I've got them
all and then proceed!

Well, SqueezeIR can work on desktop squeezeplay which can run on the
SBS machine so in theory the only extra thing required would be the ir
emitter hardware (the easy bit) and a program that can take the IR
commands in the SqueezeIR/Controller format and convert them to the ir
emitter's format. Problem is though that each brand of emitter is
probably going to expect the commands formatted differently so unless
there is some ubiquitous ir emitter it would need recoding on a
per-user basis.
