The latest piCorePlayer version have added support to lirc. I believe the latest updates also help if you choose to use the FLIRC dongle (in original implementation, the remote was overly sensitive - one push would act as multiple key-presses). I have had good results with a MCE IR remote - don't recall the exact part, however. The JiveLite accepts keyboard inputs (e.g., "a", "b", "c", ...) which are mapped to actions by JiveLite, such as play, fast forward, up, down, right, left, select, etc. You can setup a FLIRC dongle to create virtual keyboard keypresses in response to IR keypresses. The FLIRC dongle plugs into a USB port, and looks to JiveLite like a keyboard. The lirc route requires you to install an IR receiver, connected to the GPIO of the Raspberry Pi. I believe the mapping is already setup in that case where it works with an original Squeezebox or Touch IR Remote. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105018 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
