This seems to be quite simple that future versions of GB-PVR should also interact with WinLIRC. Spec is here and also sample codes:
http://winlirc.sourceforge.net/developer.html
So, the story in short is that many people has only one PCI slot in their super slick and small and quiet home media pc. When you use Hauppauge tunercards other than MCE release, they are shipped with remote, but if only one tuner device is less and want for example use Hauppauge PVR-500MCE, there is no way you could use original Hauppauge IR sensor, you could use it only via WinLIRC (simple and extremely cheap serial port IR receiver for PC). I have used successfully Hauppauge remote control with WinLIRC controlling for example ViPlay and BSPlayer, so why not also GB-PVR should support it? Â
PS. Using WinLIRC it is also possible not to have about ten remote controls near the TV, but use only the one to control all with lirc
Sorry for crosspostings, but this feature is too valuable for me not to be noticed from others.
