I have the same htpc remote at every TV in the house. The idea is for every location to work exactly the same button wise, much easier for the wife. I know the ir transmitters can do what I want. The only problem lies in the XBMC code. When I call the built in LIRC.irsend commands it causes XBMC to crash.
I use irexec for this. This is what I have in my /etc/lirc/lircrc
begin
prog = irexec
remote = mceusb
button = Power
config = tvzap ON
end
"tvzap" is a script that calls irsend in the appropriate sequence to turn on/off my TV.
Excellent, I will have to give that a try. So I assume this all happens inside of the lirc module and doesn't have anything to do with XBMC?
That worked like a charm! Thx.
Now if we can get the live tv tuner channel change down to 2-3 seconds I'd be like a pig in slop!
