Re: [slim] Using SB3 as a IR transceiver
Peter, Thank you for the answer. May I confirm one thing? Overlooking the plug-in I had the impression that by default, the plug-in will use the Slimdevices IR controller itself when using a specific menu item, is this impression correct?

It uses the Slim IR controller itself, you might be able to use others. When the SB is off (showing the screensaver) button presses are forwarded to lirc. When the SB is on they are processed by SqueezeCenter. That worked pretty well in practice, you don't use your SB and MythTV at the same time.

Re: [slim] Using SB3 as a IR transceiver
Peter, Awesome news! :-) The idea that you either use the SB3 or the PVR is limiting but indeed a practical one. I will check the plug in when I get back home. Ho ho ho, sounds like my PVR is going full power soon. :-) -- trixpan trixpan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4587 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62421 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Using SB3 as a IR transceiver
Hi there, I'm trying to get my SB3 as a transceiver to control a XMBC or a mythtv sort of video controler, eliminating the need to plug a ugly looking device in my living room. I've seen some promising features on the xPL and IR Blaster plug-ins but I was wondering if there is something ready for use. Any tip?
