Lirc

What is Lirc?

Lirc is a infrared protocoll that enables to control other devices from the Dbox.

The Dbox has an extra "send" IR Diode above the IR Receiving Diode so you can for example control another Device trough the DBox.

This could be a VCR,DVD Recorder or a Tivo

Where can I find/check my model ?

http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/

Download the file for your VCR etc and open it with an Text Editor

In this example we need REC and STOP Commands

Please use the exact writing (Capital/Lowercase)

There are also command with ms on how long the command needs to be send

Wait is also a command that could be used if the device cannot handle to many commands in quick success.

Create a start file record.lirc

Create a stop file stop.lirc

The code file from the LIRC site needs to be saved as lirc.conf

Copy them into /var/tuxbox/config

How do I install the files ?
