Wiil it help you a little if i tell you which TV models i have?

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

I mentioned double bursting codes earlier as a way to increase range. This is done by using short bust of codes and then subsequently a long bust there after. This creates a optical pump affect that can be useful to increase range with some IR receivers.


To your above...
Well in that case in might be worth noting that that configuration set also works with the DTX9950 and 9980 as well.
I'm sure that there are also some duplicate model receivers that also work with one or other keysets.

At work we have a digital receiver box too which is made by hauppauge, If it would be helpful i could try and find a working configuration for that as well.

Also, some other thoughts...

Are you planning to build in a macro feature into your program ? One that has timed events would be extremely helpful especially at the gym.

I have some other thoughts as well, such as tying Lirc commands in with RDS streams and channel dropping/flipping ability which would tie into macros.

All in all I would love the ability to just leave my phone on the night stand and let it flip through the pre-defined channels i set giving me the ability to rule out ("drop") channels as i go along using only a single button click.
This is something i've never been able to do with qt.


Let me know your thoughts, thanks again!

Possibly; I've gotta admit, I can't seem to find much data on Philips or Admiral at all, but anything I can feed into the various search engines on the net can't hurt. :)

And, as has been recently mentioned, you can pull codes right off of existing remotes. The LIRC server has that ability (when running on a PC with an IR receiver), and I think you can get the codes off of some types of "learning" universal remotes too. So there's always some way to do it, with enough effort...

Interesting; I've gotta admit, I don't understand exactly how that would work. I'm pretty sure that sort of thing would break the signal repetition mechanism for most of the protocol definitions I've seen; the receiving device would think that the user had pressed the key twice, rather than held down on it...

I'm not really sure about adding that sort of thing to the graphical interface (at least not in the immediate future), but I am thinking about providing a command-line interface to the Pierogi back-end code. That should allow folks to run scripts or cron jobs of commands, much as you are talking about. Admittedly, though, you can just run the LIRC server to do that sort of thing already. :)

Hmm. That does sound nice, but it also sounds quite a bit beyond my current user interface coding ability. :) Let me think about it a while...

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

I tried both philco/nec and some other generic sets that where mentioned but still nothing. (unless i missed something)??? I was able to get the generic sony keyset to work with the tv itself.



....
Can the proximity or pos sensors on the n900 be used as a rx for Lirc server?

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

I have an IR receiver, but i think that my rabbits cut the cable :(

I will be so busy these weeks, when i have time i will see if i can do that.

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

For sure, you're right, but I guess everybody knows the rules and wouldn't risk a bricked TV.
And in most cases you use the EZ_adjust only once or twice for unlock usb support on xxLH3000 or xxLH20 LCDs and/or to unlock disabled THX Cinema video profile on LF/LG/LH series. And of curse you won't ever need to downgrade your firmware anymore when bying a new tv with some of these options disabled.
For interested people; read here and here.

I found the Service_menu file from the LIRC database didn't work, but the RAW code from the wiki did (at least on my xxLH5000) so I packed my qtirreco folder from /home/user/MyDocs in case you could need the *.conf files. (If anyone else wants to try them, these files are for qtirreco and tested and working at least with LG xxLH5000)

This can be arranged, I can access a good few TV's ... but where's best to post the info as this threads going to get mad with people putting up TV models etc..

Ah the joys of a house bun! Finding your micro SD data cable has been nibbled, just when you want to add new tracks to your N900. :rolleyes:

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

there are 10 keys on my remote. The unit is about 2.5 years old and the model number is AQV24NSAN.

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 

If anyone here has access to a large amount of TV's/receivers (for instance if you work in a electronics store or something like that) , I can send you out a palm clie for IR code recording.

I've got a couple extra palm devices hanging around collecting dust.
Let me know.

Omniremote can record codes and if you have SIR/FIR capable IR port on your PC or laptop you should be able to also record codes with Lirc
