lircd is a CPU hog.
while running:
When not running:
Unfortunately, Raemote causes a significant amount of battery drain because lircd is running even when the widget is removed from the desktop.
In QtIrreco, lircd is shutdown when the application is closed. See Bug 10040. This bug should really be against Raemote. It would be great if Raemote could be optimized to save battery.
Great app by the way!

I wonder why lircd keeps waking up and doing something if there are no requests from other applications?

To address the side-effects of killing lircd, is it possible to run a second instance of lircd on a different port that can be safely killed when the wodget is removed? Just a thought.

If RaeMote was an app (and not a widget), this would be much easier - it could just display a prompt if the user wants to keep the IR daemon running with the option to "always kill lircd on exit".

I have installed Raemote and the widget is showing up, my n900 is also sending out an IR signal(tested using the webcam), but my macbook will not respond.
I have the newest macbook model.
What can I do to fix the problem?

The problem is that Apple stopped making the Macbooks with IR receivers, only the Macbook pros or older Airs have IR.

Hey,
I'm trying to get this to work with my iMac. The Real Apple Remote works fine. It's not paired or disabled (as verified under the security tab in the System Preferences). It's as if the iMac doesn't catch the signal or something...
I'm using the "Otterbox" case. I don't really see where the infrared light would even be emitted. Is it coming from the little LED on the front? I've tried with the shutter open but I highly doubt that's the source.
Let me know if you have any ideas! My iMac was purchased at the end of 2010 and it's running the latest Snow Leapord.
Thanks

"I can't seem to get it working" is not a very specific problem report. What did you try? What error messages do you get? What version, firmware, additional packages have you got installed?
