LiveDriveIR as described here, no longer exists. Its functionality has been taken over by LegacyLiveDriveIR.
In the (hopefully not too distant) future, LiveDriveIR will be rewritten to use the InputMapper system included in MediaPortal.
LiveDriveIR listens to the IR receiver on any LiveDriveIR (or Audigy Drive, etc.), and passes any events received to InputDeviceMapper. This plugin works by passing any System Exclusive (sysex) messages it receives on a given MIDI device on to InputDeviceMapper. For those who don't know, the LiveDriveIRs sends any signal their IR receivers pick up as Sysex messages on a MIDI device. The result is that this plugins turns the LiveDriveIR into a generic IR remote reciever. A receiver that, in conjunction with InputDeviceMapper, can control MediaPortal with any IR remote.
By itself LiveDriveIR does not "do" anything, but, when used in conjunction with InputDeviceMapper, it becomes a powerful means of controlling MediaPortal.
Information on InputDeviceMapper can be found here.
Version 0.2.1 of LiveDriveIR has now been uploaded. This version incorporates a namespace change in MediaPortal 0.1.2.0. In short, v0.2.1 is for use with MediaPortal 0.1.2.0 or later, and requires InputDeviceMapper v0.4.5 or later. See the ChangeLog for details.
The latest version is available here.
