I've recently just installed XBMC on my IBM Thinkpad T43 notebook running on Win7, is it possible to make this remote control works using WinLIRC?
I tried connecting the IR sensor using a 2.5 to 3.5 mm audio jack adapter to the line-in port of my notebook. Under WinLIRC, selected the audiocapture.dll plugin (tried the hauppage plugin too) and used the configuration found here but was not able to use the remote control successfully.
Do you have any idea what's went wrong? Please advise.
That receiver can probably be made to work with the audio capture plugin. But one of the pins probably the middle one will require +5v to work, which the microphone in port doesn't provide. If you feel like butching a few cables, you can could no doubt steal +5v from USB.
I make a few universal receivers and stick them on ebay. They look something like this
