mplayer and lirc with X10 mp3anywhere remote

[Andrew Milton]

| Does anyone have this working?
| I'm uncertain if version 0.6.6 of lirc
| supports the X10 mp3anywhere hardware.


| I pulled the lircd.conf for the mp3anywhere from the lirc CVS.
| Should this work with the .0.6.6 lircd? If not what drivers etc
| need to be updated and recompiled?

lircd wants proper devices it can send ioctls to.
Most if not all of the drivers are kernel modules and aren't ported, and the 
serial ones require that there be no serial driver in the kernel (at least 
for Linux).

I've got a userland thing lying around that can spit out lirc compatible strings 
but, it only currently works for the cheap/nasty one wire PackardBell things 
(I don't have any other remote hardware to play with).

If there's interest I'm happy to start a project somewhere with it so people
can add more hardware to it. I use it to control freevo, so I know it works 
on at least a basic level.
