Yes, I built the current UI of Pierogi specifically with an eye towards TV, VCR and DVD usage; and it turns out this misses a lot of audio related functionality. I really need to rework the UI, possibly with an entire alternate set of tabs for different keysets. (Other devices, like cameras and air conditioners, are an even worse fit to the existing UI...)

It's unfortunate as the original remote control also needs to aim very carefully to work and Pierogi would have been a perfect replacement now that I can also control the TV and VLC video player via web interface in PC connected to the TV.
I'm beginning to wonder if maybe there just isn't something odd about the IR receivers that Sony is using. I would bet that you could use an "IR Repeater" with the receiver to make both Pierogi and the original remote control work better...
