Well, before this XBox360 media remote app, there was 'Tom's TV Control' app Which is basically identical, it's my intention to write a more generic app that can be used to create pretty remotes for anything you can get working with LIRC, in theory you can do it now. If you look at the qml source for xbox360-media-remote you'll see how it all magically works, well, that and the /etc/lircd.conf file
