it's hooked into Xorg using xautomation (xte) and it working great.
You were right about the repeat issue, even while going up and down
through menus I was being blocked by it.
You had it set to 2.5 seconds, I pulled that down to 0.05 or something
like that (0.0 seconds was rapid fire...)

jth: Yeah, buying the pre-made, would be the easy way. but it would
mean another cable to run down a floor to the basement and another
electronic device (plus possibly remote) in the living room... more
clutter.
I'd like to use what i've already got to make this work.

Good to hear. I'm considering a couple more changes for kidsplayexec to
address security concerns. I'm trying to get my head around all the ways
someone might abuse this

I've been looking into lirc and you're right, it would do what I want,
but it would mean building/finding a receiver and running another cable
through a wall.
This will the solution if I can't get the squeezebox working the way i
want.

Thanks guys! I'll have a look into
Take a look at KidsPlay. I could pretty easily add a new CLI command
such that you could use the web UI to map a JVC button to a CLI command
like
Code:
kidsplayexec /usr/bin/eject cdrom
To execute the eject command with cdrom as its only
KidsPlay (with the kidsplayexec) would do exactly what I am looking
for.
I had been looking at KidsPlay, but that before I knew most (all) IR
events went right to the server.
The end goal for me is to use a remote to control XBMC (XBox Media
Center) So i'll just have to find a way to hook into
Now i've found a couple of programs to create keypress events.
1. xautomation (xte command)
2. xvkbd
Looks like this will actually work!

OK, good to hear. I hope to find time to add this to KidsPlay over the
weekend.

I didn't realize that there was a lirc plugin for squeezebox. quite
interesting.
In terms of repeating events, i don't think that would be so much of an
issue for me. I'm going to be old fashion and use the remote for my amp
for volume and such.

after looking into the different options, i think using kidsplay would
be the simplest method.
if you found the time to add the kisplayexec command i would greatly
appreciate it.

Wouldn't it be easier to just buy a remote and IR receiver? You can get
one
compatible with XBMC for under $40 (I use a streamzap).
Otherwise you may end up with a brittle chain that breaks on each
major
upgrade to squeezeboxserver.

OK, add this repository in your Extension Downloader page (if SC 7.3)
or Plugins page
You can customize a couple of files to modify the behavior of certain IR
codes. In a subdirectory in the squeezecenter heirarchy called IR, you
will find files with a .map extension and a .ir extension. If you
create a custom.map file, changes you put in there will override what is
in the
sounds like you might want to take a look here:
http://www.lirc.org/
you'll need to build or acquire an IR receiver, it's obviously not
ideal if your squeezebox is a long way away from your server...

IR blaster uses lirc, it has a learning mode which seems to prove
everything the player receives goes straight to the server.
The plugin handles a limited number of commands (power, volume) but
perhaps you can work your way from there ?
