WinLIRC plug-in

[Tim De Baets]

I have written a jetAudio plug-in that adds WinLIRC support, allowing you to control jetAudio with a remote controller. jetAudio already has built-in support for Microsoft Media Center and Streamzap remote controllers, but this doesn't work for other types of remotes, and can't be configured at all (the key bindings can't be changed). In contrast, you can use every remote supported by WinLIRC with this plug-in (almost any standard remote control). You also get full control over the key bindings, allowing you to adjust them to your own likings.

Because WinLIRC has a client/server model, a WinLIRC server is required before you can use the plug-in. The server decodes signals received from the remote and forwards them to the client (i.e. this plug-in). The original WinLIRC server only supports infrared remotes, but you can setup a WinLIRC server for X10 (radio-frequency) remotes too, more about that in the included readme file. The plug-in can be configured by editing an INI file, which is also explained in this readme file.

Please post a reply when there are any problems/suggestions/remarks etc.

WinLIRC allows you to transmit and receive standard infrared remote control signals. This allows you to control your computer using almost any standard infrared remote control. It also allows your computer to control other equipment which uses these signals (stereo equipment).
