What does IRSS do? (1 Viewer)

[DiePlage]

Hello Folks,

I have a 100% working iMON pad + VFD. I am using iMON Manager 7.77 + RC1's inbuilt minidisplay plugin.
What I want to do is remap the frontpanel buttons. Especially the backbutton needs to be remapped as it works as "backspace" and should be mapped to "ESC". Furthermore it would be great if the frontpanel volume knob could be used to scroll through menus as vol+ vol- doesn't work anyway on my setup (audio gets forwarded to my Yamaha receiver via hdmi).

Can this be achieved by using IRSS?
I read the "documentation" as well as the "FAQ" and it did not contain an introduction like "IRSS is a tool to <insert functions here>". At least I did not find the information. So basically I have no idea what IRSS does afterall

I see that there is quite a lot of work done in this forum and IRSS looks quite advanced so you really got me curious

Does IRSS replace iMON manager or the minidisplay plugin? Does it add to the "remote"-tab of the configuration? Is it used to SEND IR signals rather than to receive them (appropriate hardware provided)?

Many plugin-forums start with a sticky thread which (along with download links and version history) describes what the plugin is about and which premises need to be fullfilled to use it. That really helps to get a rough idea of what you are dealing with.

Cheers and thanks a lot!

IRServerSuite documentation

well, first post, third sentence ...

Oh come on, have you even looked into that "documentation"!?

Quote from "documentation":

IRServerSuite is a collection of Tools and plugins. {a small text/overview}



A "collection of Tools and plugins"!?! The same holds true for Microsoft Office!!

At least, you gave me the first laugh of the day :-D

The original reason for developing this system was to extend the capabilities of the MCE Replacement Plugin for MediaPortal. The project was started only a few short weeks after the MCE Replacement Plugin was started when limitations of that implementation became obvious. However, IR Server Suite is now a fully-featured PC remote control suite.

Well, I thought your are looking for a quick overview. I think the because of the wide range of supported hardware and specific functions, it's has to be cursorily.

For me it was good enough to get it runnig.

And maybe you feel apointed to make the wiki more specific (for your configuration/hardware) ...

Ok, I really should have found this for my self... Dammit. I see I gave up too early on the wiki. Sorry for wasting time and electricity.

However, that Microsoft Office joke still makes me smile.


Cheers and thanks!

BTW: my original question was whether IRSS would allow me to configure (remap) the frontpanel buttons of my iMON device. Do you know if that's possible?
