Thank you! Yes, it looks like I messed that up when I was moving buttons around, after moving the Mute button to the first tab. I'll fix it in the next update.

Basically, because I was too lazy when I moved the Mute button around. I don't know if you noticed, but the "Surround" button is also completely missing now. I intended to move the sound and picture mode buttons up from the secondary window and move the surround button down, but I only finished making the change to the main window. I'll clean up the secondary window as soon as I can.

Ok, yet another update working its way up. The main feature in this one is the use of Hildon Banners to tell the user about the new keyset when using the volume rocker switch. I've gotta admit, I have new respect for the designers of the Hildon UI; these banners are really nice! They are fairly unobtrusive, they stack nicely when you create several at once, and you can get rid of them immediately with just a touch. I think there may be a few display issues I still need to iron out, but I figured I should push this up to the dev repository to see what folks think about it.

Also in this update, fixes for the bugs sixwheeledbeast found. (Thanks!)

Finally, made a first pass at keysets for Dish, Fortec Star, and Homecast.

Can I request a keyset for Kenwood amplifiers (mainly the volume)? Thank you.

Sure thing; there appears to be plenty of support for Kenwood in the LIRC files, and it's all using the standard "NEC" protocol, so it should be easy to import to Pierogi. I'll put it on the list.

And they're themeable too (in my custom theme, they are gray/silvery, instead of yellow/golden). Double the awesome.

Honestly, Hildon in Maemo 5 is great. Don't know why they stripped so much of it out for the N9.... Adding the swiping is great of course, but I think they could've kept a lot of the elements for the better.

On-topic: It's great that you've coded this program for the N900. I like this a lot more than QTIrreco/Irreco. Especially since I could never fit all the buttons I wanted comfortably onto the space available in QTIrreco in one remote, and this makes getting to all the buttons you could possibly want a lot easier.

About the camera thing - even if we somehow got a framerate good enough to catch the entirety of a remote's signal correctly, as I understand it from a convo I had with Estel, the N900 camera has a hardware IR filter, and I would presume the IR filter would have to be removed from the lens just to do it. But I'd love to see it done. Always for the N900 being able to do everything on-board itself.

All digital cameras have hardware IR filters, but the RC leds are powerful enough to get some light through. Just try it, turn the lights off and beam a remote to the N900 camera

Can be added to the tv, Beko and AIWA

I suggest a separate page on the wiki for protocol requests'n'stuff like that. Would be way easier than going through many quite hidden posts.

IR filters normally cut the Infra-red and it turns to white light.

As requested please put all device requests in the wiki page

Thanks for the update will test later.

Unfortunately, the fortec star keysets don't work on my receiver. neither do any of the Pioneer keysets on my amp. Added my TV to the compatability list.
