Aubrien Wrote:I did a little more research on the LIRC.Stop and LIRC.Start commands and following the suggestion of a developer on another thread I looked into the xbmc-send command. I found that I can send commands to XBMC from within my shell scripts and I can accomplish the same thing without needing to modify the addon directly. The final result of my research and testing can be found here...Arfff... too late... The option have been added into the last version. BTW, I did not see why you will want to control XBMC with a remote or a keyboard if you do not see XBMC screen.. I will see, If someone scpecifically need to use LIRC into this condition I will add an option to activate/desactivate LIRC.

This may actually be better than modifying the addon because it gives the user the freedom to choose if they want LIRC to be disabled when XBMC is in the background. I can think of a case where a user wants XBMC to accept input from a remote while they are launched into another application in the foreground.
