Better Winlirc support (1 Viewer)

[htpcman]

Hi everyone,

Since the current implementation of winlirc support stopped working since 1.0.4 I would like to see improvement in this area. Perhaps the already existing two implementaions can somehow be merged together into a fully integrated solution. I am sure that many users would like full winlirc support just as much as I do because:

- It does not require a costly receiver and remote. The parts needed for reception cost less than 2€/$ and any availble remote with enough buttons can be used.

- Winlirc is very universal and can be used with other software as well ( I use it with ALT-DVB on the same system)

- It is Open Source just like MP. Not a proprietary solution

- The remote/code used can be changed easily if there is a conflict with existing Video or HiFi equipment.

So how about it? any skilled programmer out there with some spare time willing to jump in?

Still hoping...

You got my vote on this too

I have to admit I was a bit confused at first when configuring MP because there is a page for WinLIRC under Remote, but I see now its just for transmitting. It would be nice to integrate receiving too.

Just to bring this up in the list again...

Hi,

i agree with the prior posters. My remote control is waiting for WinLirc I know it from other projects (as Lirc and have used it more than one time.
I have tried girder but that is not my thing. The 30-days testperiod (girder) is not long enough 4 me because i haven't so much time i need 4 all my wishes. So my HTPC is a long lasting building site like other things too...

I know the WInLIRC plugin was in the works and then stopped. Can I get the source code? I'd like to try my hands on getting it working again

Sure, you can get it from Sourceforge, of course. Sources and the old plugin can be downloaded there.

There is a new version here if you want to try it out and or work on the source.

I followed the link you wrote in the last post, but on the sourceforge page it says: "No Files Currently Attached" I can't find the files of rev 0.0.3 Can you point me to them please?
Best

Yes. I had tried to upload them and Sourceforge said there were duplicate files. I will try again tonight.
