Reason:
The current output from IR remotes in DVB seems to go to /dev/input/eventX
This causes huge problems with other applications,
because the pressed keys appear in those applications as input,
even if no DVB application is running,
all that is required is that the DVB USB device is plugged
This little demo C program looks for the IR input device,
parses the IR output and can start any application on any remote key press
or release.
Compile with gcc -o test50 test50.c
I have added a start xterm, a start firefox, and a kill firefox
as example.
add your own as needed.
Have fun:-)
I recently bought a Terratec cinergy S2 USB HD receiver.
I got everything working just fine in Linux and get excellent
reception.
This thing came with a small remote controller, and I notice
that the output of this remote appears as ASCII characters on stdin,
on any terminal that I open...
