winlirc support

[hansi]

Have been poking around a bit and have made three C# code snippets now:

1) WinLIRC listener
2) Hauppauge receiver listener
3) Message sender to GBPVR

So what needs to be done now is to integrate these three and make it configurable to select between 1) and 2) for input.

It will require some tweaking because of the different interfaces to get the IR codes and the way they are repeated. E.g., from the Hauppauge you just get a number (also if no button is pressed) and from WinLIRC you get a string with contents you can define in its remote config file.

The process itself would then need to have a config file that would map remote codes to GBPVR sendmessage codes.

I have not been able to figure out how you can receive something in a 'real' plugin for GBPVR. Of course you can open a socket and listen to it, but I don't know which interface would need to be implemented to get it integrated into GBPVR.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I think you just need to send Windows keystroke messages to the GB-PVR window. Or you asking for something else?

Hi Sub,

What I meant is to have a non-graphical plugin in the GBPVR process you could drop inside the plugins directory and load at GBPVR startup. I know I could create the socket when the plugin is created, but I am not sure if I can create a thread that will manage the connection to WinLIRC, get the IR codes and post the keystrokes.

What I have been able to do so far is to send the IR codes from another process using the WM_GBPVR_CONTROL message code, but I would rather integrate it as a plugin if possible. That would just be easier to manage for a user.
