It's not up to them to make the remote for you. I would just be thankful that someone has created the Irreco program full stop.

Re: QtIrreco for N900

this program was put forth early-on with no support or how-to endorsed by the programs creators, as well as no one knowing how to properly create a remote from scratch.

this particular irreco program is the equivalent of buying a jet fighter for a 10 year old and saying "have fun!" ..it is far too complex not to come with a training video or a manual on their website

i have other tv's (panasonic and phillips), and irreco works like a charm with them. i'm not incompetent with these things. however, none of thier sanyo remotes work on any sanyo television, as proved on multiple boards by other individuals like myself with this brand of tv

Re: QtIrreco for N900

You would be surprised at how many different incompatible remote codes a single manufacturer can use, which is why apps like this can be an absolute nightmare. Equally Universal remotes which you can buy on any street corner never seem to work fully.

The core of qtirreco is LIRC, which is an application for remote control, and if you have a compatible receiver, you can use programs to learn your particular remotes.

Qtirreco is nothing more than a pretty frontend for LIRC. If you want know more about it, then go and have a look at the website (tip: google lirc) Masses of technical info, oh, and read the first post on this thread.

BTW, there is a remote for my cable box ready, but not my TV - time for me to create one and upload the config when I get chance.

Re: QtIrreco for N900

I got LIRC up and running on my Mac Book Pro for the sole purpose of recording some remote signals. Got LIRC up and running but about half the buttons I was recording don't automatically repeat which means LIRC cannot record them. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a workaround you are aware of?

This should be added to

If the right include-line is missing in /etc/lircd.conf, then qtirreco wont work.

Its hard to find that information in a 40-pages-thread.

BTW, to find out, if ir-led is transmitting something at all:
Watch it with a digicam. In its lcd-display you can see the led glowing while transmitting.

Anyone might have a remote set for Toshiba 62hm95 TV

I can't get Download from DB option loading anything for Toshiba section.

Re: QtIrreco for N900

This application is one of the coolest N900 apps. A big thank you to the development team for their dedication to the project. And thank you to everyone making the project richer by uploading their remote signals. Both my Toshiba TV and LG DVD player ran with existing codes. I will definately record the signals from the remotes of any new devices that I buy if they weren't already there. This is a truly community driven effort that will make us all have one more thing to brag about :)

QtIrreco is the Qt version of Irreco. Like Irreco, QtIrreco can be used to control infrared controllable devices such as TV's, digiboxes and amplifiers. User interface is designed to be used with finger. Some UI elements are however difficult to use with finger, because Qt 4.5 isn't entirely Hildon compatible. They will be fixed when Qt 4.6 is fully released.

As harriva wrote in the Irreco thread:
"Controlling any device requires that some good soul has recorded it's remote controller in first place.
No much sense of bothering to install at all if your device isn't supported so check first.
http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/
Lirc command database (^that there) isn't that comprehensive (+2000 devices), so good luck with it. Some models made by the same manufacturer work with similar devices, so maybe give it a try. Additionally you can try recording your remote with IR equipped computer or with external IR receiver.
Installing LIRC for recording remote controls on a ThinkPad @Youtube.com"

You can find tutorial video about making a new remote here.

QtIrreco is still under testing so it might be a little unstable at times. :eek:

QtIrreco is currently available in extras-devel.

-jmh

I cannot access the remote control database via 3g, WIFI only. Apart from that it's an amazing bit of software!

Re: QtIrreco for N900

You need remote control CT-90233, accordingly to the user manual for 62HM95 TV of Toshiba. However, it isn't in the database:
