I saw it from a user perspective rather than from the coder one. At the end it is better to the controller be started in an acceptable time ;o) indifference_engine;603709 Wrote: > > Well, SqueezeIR can work on desktop squeezeplay which can run on the > SBS machine so in theory the only extra thing required would be the ir > emitter hardware (the easy bit) and a program that can take the IR > commands in the SqueezeIR/Controller format and convert them to the ir > emitter's format.

I thought about lirc or winlirc, because SqueezeIR already uses lirc-files. Lirc/WinLirc also supports a lot of emitters. This system should be left to the user. Assuming a working lirc/winlirc installation with fully functional emitter, there should be a tag for marking the pc-emitter (squeezeplay or sbs). Another tag might be one for overwriting the defaut "testir" command to the path on the target system. Using lirc/winlirc I think one just have to send an command like "irsend remote code". If that would work there could be a method for doing ir-over-ip to non sbc controller hardware. After writing all this above I must admit, that it seems a little bit harder to code and smells of a lot of work. So please keep it just as some brain storming! -- chincheta0815 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chincheta0815's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42904 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79524 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
