Didn't know about the Hauppauge MediaMVP. Sounds like a great device! However, freevo currently is implemented in Python, which renders it unusable on devices with low processing power. A high-performance front-end for Freevo could be created (it's messge bus can be networked), but, this would be a huge task for Freevo 1.x. Maybe it is possible with the 2.x version?
Thus, VNC indeed is your only option by now. Lirc can be chained via the network. Read the lirc docs to see how.

Well done folks! > > I'd also like to mention another OSS project, and ask for some help/ideas. I bought a Hauppage MediaMVP specifically for two reasons: to use with Freevo as a silent thin-client, and to load mvpmc ( http://www.mvpmc.org or http://mvpmc.sf.net ) as the thin-client application. I have it configured to play Freevo recordings from a Samba file share using the mvpmc file browser. For those not familiar with the mvpmc project, it has integrated MythTV and ReplayTV frontend clients, SlimServer client, VNC client, VLC compatibility via the file browser, as well as a Hauppage server compatibility mode. > > I'm wondering if anyone else on this list is using MediaMVP's with Freevo, and if anyone else is running mvpmc on it. Playing recordings from the filebrowser works great, but it would be fantastic to be able to operate Freevo from the MediaMVP as well. Ideally, that would mean someone with much more experience than myself contributing a front-end client to the mvpmc project. In the short term, I've tried setting up Freevo running inside a VNC server session, which itself works great. The mvpmc can connect to it fine, and it displays well. The problem I'm having is that the Hauppage remote control codes are sent over VNC as RFB keycodes. I tried creating an xmodmap to remap the RFB keycodes into something that Freevo can understand, but I'm having problems with most keys generating different KeyPress and KeyRelease event codes. So Freevo sees two different keypresses for each remote button, which usually messes things up. Does anyone else have any good ideas for runnin > g the Freevo Gui over mvpmc VNC? I'm not sure Lirc would work, but I can't say I'm familiar with Lirc's capabilities... > > Thanks for your time! > > /Mike > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
