It's base station makes it look like a USB keyboard so, rather than setting up LIRC, the thing is to remap application keys to match the remote. Myth, mplayer and xine all let you do that, so it's worked quite well. It sounds icky, and I was planning on putting in a "better" solution, but this has worked surprisingly well, so I'll likely not bother.Matt.___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

My back end in my real deployment will be that same PC, with the PVR250 card being used for PVR Functionality, but since it is not part of my front end, is of no use. So my question (Which I am currently researching as I type). What are people with EPIA m1 doing for remotes. Can you use an existing remote, and purchase a receiver. Id love to use my Dish Network Remote aux functionality. But if thats to much of a pain, am open to purchasing a remote. I have no experience with IR/IrDA. The m1 has a FIR and CIR. I think one uses IrDA which I think is a protocol more not used by basic remotes. I am curious what others are using ? Thanks -Chris ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Simplest option would probably be to get a LIRC-based serial IR receiver, which would let you re-use the 250's remote if you wanted to, or most other IR remotes. (FIR/CIR is the wrong type of IR device to use) You also have the option of getting a USB-based receiver instead. Another option is to use a suitable wireless keyboard and a learning remote, which negates the requirement to use LIRC on the frontend as you get the remote to 'learn' the keyboard instead.

Re: [mythtv-users] Remote to use w/ EPIA M10000
I am in the process of setting up a basic serial receiver as described on the lirc pages. It works, once you get your soldering right. I am not the best solderer in the world. You can either make an external cover for it and plug into the serial port on the back of the motherboard (which is /dev/ttyS0), or plug it into the header on the motherboard (which is /dev/ttyS1). The pins for the MB header are in the manual. I had mine attached inside the motherboard, but couldn't quite squeeze it into the case, so am looking for an external wrapper. In fact I am fighting my son for his TIE fighter :-) http://susku.pyhaselka.fi/damu/mods/tie_lirc/index.html On Thu, 30 Jun 2005 21:54:22 -0400 Pane, Chris wrote: So - Today my motherboard arrived and I realized I hadn't come up with a remote control solution. -- Nick Rout ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
