Hi all here :) I see, some interest in running LIRC (w1intermute ?). I would like to help, if i can anyhow?
I have a working lirc setup, via gpiopin/appletv remote .lircrc and working lircd.conf (TSOP xxxxx). I have it all packed up in a lirc-0.9.0.tcz, which can be easyli converted to whats needed. Regarding the antiupdate squeezelite, it should be doable also, without to much hassle (allthrough i havent looked inside picoreplayer, to se how it's executed) Let me know if i can help... ? BTW: I also got LCDproc working (nice LCD display)... Maybe some interesst... Anyway keep up good work :cool: 16450 > Quote Originally Posted by w1ntermute View Post > I am using a homebrew hat for the B+ containing an I2S DAC (5102-based, > hifiberry compatible), IR-transceiver and a Mono poweramp (class-D) > which can be switched on/off via GPIO.
