After all, why someone with same projector, should need to re-do same work, in, lets say, half of a year?

After I would do it for myself I would donate it to the creator of pierogi to add it to his stable version. But I am sick of trying to control my projector manually, since it's in a very uncomfortable position to operate. I didn't know how long would take to implement a new version, and ... I don't want to loose anymore time :).

That was my initial intention, but now if the creator came here and said he would do it, I'm going to let him, but I hope it doesn't take too long...

It's called "Peel", it has some interesting features like fetching TV listings and switching to that channel when a programme name is pressed but it crashes all the time so I always keep my N900 and Pierogi handy.

Peel seems to be becoming the standard; it seems that both Samsung and HTC are partnering with Peel for remote control apps on their new phones.

I've really gotta see what it would take to access the IR hardware on these Android phones; I think Pierogi could beat out Peel in several ways. (I'd love to see if Peel can handle stateful air conditioners. :) )

sorry:) i though he didnt go through the thread
anyway i was faulty:(
as i dont have n900 for now what if i go to the store make a list of ir devices model numbers specialy of obscure brands . Will it be of help as the n900 is a big no till my exams end 25 days:)

^^they can use your code silently add their cosmetic features give a add on tv bla bla world first:(

Well, it is my goal to eventually have every IR keyset I can find entered into Pierogi. :) (<mad scientist mode> And use it to take over the world! Buah Ha Ha Ha!</mad scientist mode>) But I'm prioritizing keyset requests from folks who have actual, controllable hardware.

I have access to _enormous_ piles of config files from the LIRC project, the hifi-remotes website, and the Pronto website. And I do add them in as I find time. But all this data is messy, poorly maintained, and probably buggy to begin with. And I'm never going to be able to test most of it myself. I really need the help of people who have access to the hardware to tell me when I've got something wrong. :)

Not a problem! :) All my keyset data has been derived from freely available sources on the net; it's not like I have some secret repository of data somewhere. And if they want to actually start using my own peculiar form of keyset management, well, more power to them. (So long as they abide by the terms of the GPL, if they are going to copy my code directly.)

Well I can and will do it. Also, if you want me to test out some devices, add some Canon projectors, especially LV-7575. I wanna have some fun at my college!

Re: Pierogi new remote
 
^^u got the intension wrong am also in (mad mode):D
Actually i wanna be prepared with configs (bullets) to openly test fire on the store:D

Devices i will be listing will be available to test for a brief time as after exams a short tour to all my loved ones(insert a bit of pierogi love)
m seldomly stepping out of home for now so a bit late mite be:)

Re: [Announce] Pierogi - a universal infrared remote control app
 
Why not u create a mad pierogi as u stated on the other thread .
It will have a heck of untested ir data whenever u have time just dump pile of data insanely
excliptly for willing users
should have a buttonwide serch function
cheers:)

Ah, but that's what I've been doing; there's already a heck of a lot of untested IR data in Pierogi now. I dumped in the entire LIRC collection for the big names (LG, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, etc.). I've been getting to the smaller LIRC collections as I've had time. :)

Been working on that. :) No estimate as to when it would be available, though; there are a few kinks to work out...
