Very nice app, thank you Copernicus;)

An idea: would it be possible to make software to "record" keyset from an existing remote controller?

no because n900 doesn't have ir reciver, only transmitter



BTW very nice app, but what about xbox 360 keyset?

Not weird at all! (After finding LIRC config files for the Furby and for the "Nature Bearries Butterfly Dreams", I don't think I'd be surprised by anything any more... :) )

From those links (and from some more config files in the LIRC collection) it doesn't look like the Roomba is using a standard protocol, but I don't think it'd be too much work to support. I'll give it a shot. :)

Looking at the data I've got, it would appear that some Xboxes use the standard "Media Center Edition" remotes that are also used on Windows PCs, and I've got those already under the "Microsoft" keysets. However, other config files are doing something completely different...

Ok, if I'm reading this right, the Xbox 360s are using the MCE remote keysets, and it's the original Xboxes that are using a different protocol. So, I've probably got your Xbox covered already. :) But I'll see about getting the older keyset in as well.

@Copernicus:

I would like to check with you on a problem I have. This has happened twice to me and I am not sure if Pierogi is the culprit.

I have a fully charged battery, use Pierogi and quit the program. When I check my phone 2 hours later, the battery is in the red and almost flat.

Happened twice to me on two different days and the only thing I can think of was Pierogi. Other days, the battery is fine.

Do you need any more info from me?

Interesting! I have been trying to deal with excessive memory usage in Pierogi, but there's almost nothing in the program that should tax the CPU or otherwise consume power... Hmm.

If you don't mind, every little bit helps. :) Can you tell me what version of Pierogi you are running? Is this happening just from starting and stopping Pierogi, or do you use it for a while before closing the program? What keysets have you been using (perhaps I've got a bug in one of my IR protocol routines)?

And probably the best info, if it isn't too much of a hassle, is to pick a time when you can experiment with the phone, start up Pierogi, shut it down, and take a look at the running processes (with "top" or another such utility) and see if a zombie Pierogi process is running. That would certainly confirm that I've got a bug somewhere. Thanks!

This is interesting!
Never had any problems here.

Got into the habit of checking new testing and devel updates as I install them.
I use 'powertop' to make sure there's similar wake ups before and after.

Hi Copernicus,

Sorry for the late reply, problem was due to a faulty battery... my bad! Please don't kill me! :p

app works great at home.
I tried to have fun with a tv in a bar but the app didn't work there.
there were two flat screen LG tvs but the app didn't work.
I don't know the morels of the tvs. only they seemed to be around 30 inches :cool:

It is possible on LG's (and others) to put them into advanced mode.
This can be used to disable the IR, to stop anybody bringing a remote from home to annoy their customers.
