I actually have an iTACH IP2IR device I use for other purposes. I would have to think about it to see how much might be transferable. A few comments: * Today the plugin uses Denon network commands. I would have to translate the equivelants to IR codes. * The plugin uses two way communications and gets feedback from the Denon - using iTach it would be one way only * Because of the above and the ability to support multiple receivers (not just Denon) it would be a pretty major undertaking and I am limited on time right now I think there is an IRBlaster plugin that is available today. Maybe it might be easier to modify that for your use? -- Aesculus Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aesculus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14876 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60114 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
