Yea, MCE is Windows XP Media Center Edition, but that only refers to the IR transceiver device that is supplied with the Windows XP MCE product. My plan is to write a server that will run in Windows (XP at least, possibly Vista as well) that Irreco can send commands to, which will in turn send IR codes out the MCE IR transceiver to control TV, DVD player, Receiver, etc. I think you're right about LIRC supporting the MCE transceiver, but I'm currently running a Windows XP machine as a media server, hence the need for the Windows server. I'm not currently concerned with controlling the Media Center application, but that may come later.

So I figured since Telnet communication was already built in, that it may make sense to just add the MCE transciever backend to the list of Telnet devices, but I've not studied the architecture of Irreco enough yet to know if that's really the best way to implement this.

I will keep you informed of my progress. Thanks for the reply.
