I'm back at this... First,let me see if I understand the concept well. The remote control is really given to the system as an input device, like a keyboard. That way, every time I press a remote key, the kernel sends a code, just like when I press a multimedia key on an extended keyboard. Is this right? So, where does that code go ? standard input? Do you need a special coding to intercept it, or is it just mixed with other classic keyboard key presses? How can I test/monitor that key presses are recognized? In MythTV, some key are already useful out of the box, like the arrows and numbers. I'd like to extend that. Do I need LIRC ?
