Re: Irreco for N900
 

Just a reminder for those still floundering around with irreco and asking for help with it: it has been deprecated in favor of Qtirreco, which actually has developer(s) working on it.

Re: Irreco for N900
 

I don't know if the strength of the IR question was answered earlier in the thread. Too many pages.

I can safely say, its the strongest IR i've seen on a hand held device of its kind. I can control the sky box from the other side of a large room.

Is there an app out there that will allow me to point a remote at the N900 and learn the codes as I want to port all my remotes onto the device! Does the N900 even recieve via IR?

Re: Irreco for N900
 

Thanks for that information. I am tempted to run the gauntlet that (Qt)Irreco seems to still be just to have that geek toy in my arsenal. :D

No it's just a transmitter.

Re: Irreco for N900
 

Thanks! That'll be why it is so powerful then I assume.

Pointing it at a digital camera it seems brighter than the sky remote its self, and that works when I point it the opposite way to the box.

I'm almost 6ft in height, and I was sat a further distance than that last night from my Sky box. I also tested a sky+ box and found that to be less responsive from a distance than my normal sky box. Perhaps because of the plain white front and no obvious area to where the IR receiver is?

Re: Irreco for N900
 

I'm desperate!
beautiful this application but... they not work for me!
I installed irreco and it's didn't work, i have unistalled all and I have installed qt irreco with the same result. i have tried to load several remote from the database, and I got the same result, my N900 seems not to issue any IR signal ...

Now I ask to me that is a hardware problem on my N900? how can I check for? lirc.d simple didn't start? What exactly do I do after downloading the remote that interests me? excuse me but are 3 months intermittently installed and uninstall these program with the same effect and start to be frustrated ^ ^

Re: Irreco for N900
 

hi, can anyone confirm that it works on pr1.2?

thanks

Re: Irreco for N900
 

I've just installed it (with no issues, using irreco-for-n900 meta-package) and it seems to emit some IR when I'm pressing buttons on the screen. Can't check with a TV set - have none of them available at the moment.

Re: Irreco for N900
 

my tv is a wlt66 toshiba. there are no remotes for that on lirc. any ideas if any of the others would work??

Re: Irreco for N900
 

Hello, first time I actually try using irrecoQT or the IR function on the N900 for that matter. I've downloaded an Olevia RC-LTL remote, and added some of the buttons. It doesn't work for me at all.

I am curious should the little IR transmitter be blinking? I don't see any lights when pressing the button... Have I missed some configuration steps? All I've done is installed irrecoQT from the repositories.

Thank you.
