HDMI CEC Adapter support

I've just bought Pulse-Eight USB HDMI CEC adapter and would like to add support of it to IRSS. The support should be separated into receiver plugin and custom command to control HDMI connected devices. It looks like implementation of receiver plugin is easy task, but all the commands are hardcoded in the sources. Is it possible to add custom command as plugin DLL?

i'm not sure commande are hardcoded inside IRSS , not inside xml ?
the only can help you more ( i think ) are :
@chemelli
@chefkoch
@and-81
and maybe @TheNoctambulist

 

Macro commands are currently all hard coded. There seems to be some development code in the Commands folder that was designed to make the commands more extensible (this includes code for loading commands from plugin dlls). However, I am not sure what state this is in as it is currently not used. You could look at this and see what would be required to complete it.

Another possibility to consider is implementing the ITransmitIR and ILearnIR plugin interfaces and using the BlastIR command to send your custom commands. This will probably be a simpler and less risky approach since everything you do will be restricted to your plugin.

 

Thanks for answers.

I've seen CECremote plugin. It is good but not so flexible as IRSS. There are no macros.

I'll try to investigate GitHub in order to understand on which stage are new commands implementation.

 

The biggest drawback with CEC is that some of the commands do not work outside of some TV functions, for example my Samsung TV will not send the info button via CEC. This means that I have to remap commands on my harmony to get it to work by emulating a button I won't use. This means I can't use the original remote.
