Glad to be of assistance. :D
You have been busy ... I only put two TV's in a few hours ago.

One more request: if it isn't too much of a bother, I would love to know which specific devices actually do work with Pierogi. The LIRC config files don't concern themselves with anything but remote control codes, so I don't myself know what models of device work with what keysets. If you could send me a note to tell me the particular make and model of a device when it is working with a particular keyset, that would be great. Thanks!
If you edit the above in your first post and link to the wiki page, the community can add to your hard work. :)

Testing 0.6.3 at the moment, I see what you mean about the volume button. It works great on the main screen, but if you aren't on the main screen you have no idea which keyset you are using.

Ideas on a solution?

Ah, thanks! I forgot about that. :)

I'm not sure. There's really no room right now to put a keyset label on every tab page. I could use that Hildon Banner feature (the yellow bar that comes up to inform users of events), although I don't know if that would be irritating or not. I suppose I could put that in and see how it looks...

First of all, thanks for this great program. Works fine on my Samsung TV. I have a crappy free to air satellite receiver made by fortec star. To give you an idea of how crap it is, there's an option on the main menu for "sysem upgrade" . Not holding much hope for that one but here's hoping. Shame the n900 can't receive ir signals, it was going to be a suggestion. Thanks again.

What model is your Samsung and which keyset are you using if you don't mind me asking?
Trying to compile a list of compatible devices.

http://wiki.maemo.org/Pierogi_Device_Compatibility_List

Anybody who is unsure how to edit the wiki, if you want to PM the information to me, I can put it up.

When I get home, I'll do that. Need to try on my pioneer amp as well. Love it.

(It looks like each key on the remote can take on three or four different values. This protocol will be fun to decipher. :) ) I'll cobble together a keyset out of it and see what you think...

EDIT: This protocol will be _real_ fun to decipher. If you're interested, take a look at the real IR experts scratching their heads over it in this thread. :)
Oh, my! I almost have a headache after reading through the first page. It does have it's share of intrigue though.

PM me if you want to collaborate on something like this!

They have been able to get the n900 to scan a human brain for cryin out loud, i don't see how this can't be possible.
Copernicus says that it should be difficult to catch the timings, and probably he is right, the N900 camera captures video up to 30fps.

On the other hand though, fcam allows "shutter" speeds up to 1/1000s so if the IR led is powerful enough to be visible at such shutter speeds there could be hope.

So the question is where is the bottleneck? Does the 30fps limit come from the sensor, the video encoding by the cpu or storage?

If we could reduce the videostream to 1 pixel, and put the ir led near enough to fill the FOV, could we capture video at 1000fps?

Maybe we should dig in the fcam driver. The unfortunate thing is that I don't have very much free time, and I got one or two started projects I'd like to finish...

Well, it looks like there are at least two good Fortec config files in the LIRC collection. What's more, they are using the standard "NEC" protocol, rather than the pull-my-hair-out wacky protocols that every other satellite receiver seems to use. (I'm knee-deep in the Dish Network protocol right now; man, I don't know where they come up with this stuff.)

I'll put it on my list. (And unlike Dish, it'll probably just take me ten minutes or so to add them. :) )

Actually, I'm afraid even that's not enough. 1000 frames per second would be 1 frame for every 1000 microseconds. The majority of protocols are sending out pulses of 400 - 600 microsecond duration, so multiple pulses could still slip past inbetween frames. :(

That would be so cool. My remote is bolloxed and I have to get off my arse to change channel

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 
I think I have found another small bug. Just by playing about.
LG TV Keyset 1
In Utility the Sound Mode Button functions as the Picture Mode...
But the Sound Mode in Secondary Buttons works perfect.

Why is Sound Mode and Picture Mode in both menus?
