Sorry if this is not the appropriate place to post for development discussion, but it seems that the forums for this project at maemo.org are dead (it's been 8 months since the last post). Please point me to the proper forum if one exists!

Anyway, I have recently setup my Windows MCE IR transceiver as a generic IR tranceiver using the replacement driver I found here: http://www.byremote.com.au/Hip/mce_remote_faq.htm. I am very interested in developing an Irreco backend for this device, and I think this would be useful to the community, as the MCE transcievers are cheap, and many people already have them laying around!

My first thought was to create a telnet server on the host machine to communicate with from Irreco to trigger IR transmissions. The MCE transceiver replacement driver comes with a dll and command line executables for sending and receiving IR codes, so I figured creating a telnet server would be the simplest solution. I downloaded the Irreco source last night, but did not get a chance to really look at it in depth. I did notice that there seems to be a subfolder for each backend except for telnet. Can someone point me in the right direction as to where would be the appropriate place to add a telnet backend for the MCE transceiver, or if anyone has any suggestions on a better way to implement this?

My plan is to start working on this, and if I get far enough along, I will request to join the project.

Thanks in advance!
