What is Lirc? |
2 |
||
3 |
Lirc (Linux Infrared Remote Control) adds support for infrared remote controls |
|
4 |
to linux applications. To download lirc and for more info visit http://www.lirc.org. |

Gnomeradio & Lirc: |
|
7 |
||
8 |
Gnomeradio supports lirc by default. If you are compiling from source, it should detect |
|
9 |
it automagically. If not, use the --enable-lirc=yes/no switch of configure. |
|
10 |
The standard .rpm of gnomeradio is linked against liblirc_client.so. If you do not |
|
11 |
have lirc installed, get the gnomeradio-nolirc package. |
|
12 |
||
13 |
However, before you can use lirc in gnomeradio, you have to edit your .lircrc[1]. |
|
14 |
Gnomeradio understands the following commands: |
|
15 |
||
16 |
||
17 |
- tune up (= scan forward) |
|
18 |
- tune down (= scan backwards) |
|
19 |
- preset up (= next preset) |
|
20 |
- preset down (= previous preset) |
|
21 |
- volume up |
|
22 |
- volume down |
|
23 |
- mute |
|
24 |
- quit |
|
25 |
- preset 0..9 ( selects preset 0..9) |
|
26 |
||
27 |
Example: |
|
28 |
||
29 |
begin
|
|
30 |
prog = gnomeradio |
|
31 |
button = VOL+ |
|
32 |
config = volume up |
|
33 |
repeat = 1 |
|
34 |
end
|
|
35 |
||
36 |
This would map the button VOL+ (Attention: Buttonnames are RC-specific, read your lirc docs |
|
37 |
for more info) on the command "volume up". "repeat = 1" means, that if you keep the button of |
|
38 |
your RC pressed, the command is repeated as long as you press the button. It's of by default. |
|

Look at example.lircrc for a whole .lircrc example. |
|

[1]: Since version 1.5, lirc should work out of the box with a minimum configuration. This |
|
43 |
configuration will be overridden, if a lirc config file exists. |
