Mce Remote Control Ir Adapter

Your correct that the Remote does not recieve anything back from the TV, however most IR Adaptors like the picture have the ability to send data as well as recieve as there designed to communicate with other devices (i.e. Mobile phones, old HP PDA's) that have the same style adaptor built in. I suppose it depends on your level of willing to DIY / tinker with the IR Adaptor if it does not work out of the box for what you want. Just having the adaptor installed in your PC will not give you any control over the PC, as it depends upon what the software that came with the IR Adaptor is capable of and if its able to understand the signals being sent from your remote control. Before spending any money i would check that the IR adaptor your going to buy supports your TV remote, then do a bit more digging about the adaptor to find out what software if any it comes with and what that software is able to-do.

Note also that WinLIRC requires the IR receiver to be a serial device—USB won't work, whether direct or with an adapter. Have a remote to control your. Wintv V8.

I would also have a look on google for anyone else that has done a similar thing with one of these adaptors, read into how they did it, what if any software they needed etc, the best thing to-do then is try and mimic what they have done, or at the very least get the same type of adaptor so you know that at the least will work for you. Hope this helps.

This is a (probably futile) attempt to keep up with the vast range of MCE remotes out there, and give some indication of how well they work with XBMC. If you are adding a review please try to be as detailed as possible about the remote. For example: • What operating systems and versions of Kodi have you tested on • Does the remote send keystrokes or is it MS compatible? • If it's MS compatible have you tested reconfiguring it using the registry and did this work? The article groups the Microsoft compatible (also known as eHome or RC6) remotes together first, as these are most configurable when you're using them with XBMC. Other than this there's no significance to the order of the reviews.

This type of remote is supported out of the box by Kodi Live. EHome remotes are generally more expensive than the non-eHome remotes, but they are highly configurable and work very well with XBMC. Many universal handsets, for example the Harmony remotes, have emulation for eHome/RC6 handsets built in so they will work with an eHome IR receiver. Note that Microsoft has modified the programming and device specification for remote controls several times.
