Hello I'am the new guy - with the new hardware -
I have developed / built an alternate IR-Receiver und Transmitter - I allready wrote Plugins für Girder and MiriServer - yesterday somebody
asked me for direct MediaPortal support - so I decided to ask somebody else like mPod to do that for me - because I haven't much time at the moment.
The hardware is accessable through a small application which is running inside the taskbar notifcation area - the programming API is COM (ActiveX) based - the received IR Codes will be forwarded through a ConnectionPoint / EventSink interface.
Which you have to service ... inside you mediaPortal plugin - I think?
If this sounds interesting to you - feel free to ask me ... I will try to provide english documentation for the required parts of my development.
(Currently the whole documenation is in german)

-- here a short brief of the hardware
* connected to COM-Port
* able to power up your PC via PowerSwitch-Emulation or WOL
* power up - is possible via Remote
* or throught the internal clock - which is currently used by PVR-Scheduler.. f.e.
* IR-Receive will work for the following Protocols:
* RC5
* Sony - Sircs 12,15 or 20-bits
* CommonIR (Nec/yamaha - far east stuff)
* JapanCode (Panasonic)
* Transmission is possible for
* RC5, Sony, CommonIR, Panasonic, Motorola Encoded, nearly anything
- the transmitter uses a very flexible protocol description so new
protocols can easy defined without changing the firmware
* extensions of the hardware is possible through an intergrated
I2C Bus
and last but not least ... everything is open - the hardware schematics,
the source of the clientsoftware and of the firmware of the µC...
- I'am using an PIC16F628 as base...
