Hi, I have a Pinnacle PC TV+ card [and the remote that came with it] which installed well in Linux and worked fine too. I am getting greedy now thinking about using the same remote with help of probably lirc and mplayer while watching movies... Please anwere the following - those who have used remote controllers with their PCs. 1. Is it possible for lirc to use the remote for purposes other than just the TV card? I suspect it should be possible for a daemon to talk to applications [like my home compiled mplayer] which were compiled with lirc support. 2. The files provided with lirc on my Linux system seem up to date. I do seem to have a file which matches the remote/TVcard version and I am supposed to use that file as a configfile. Has anyone used this Pinnacle card before? Hoping for replies about this... -- Rohit ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 56792108 G9,F-1,Chandivali : SDE : TLSI : 9821394599 AT bplmobile DOT com This mail was sent using Linux.
