I recently bought a Terratec cinergy S2 USB HD receiver. I got everything working just fine in Linux and get excellent reception. This thing came with a small remote controller, and I notice that the output of this remote appears as ASCII characters on stdin, on any terminal that I open... Wrote a small GUI application that sets the input focus to a hidden input field, and can process the numbers from this remote that way, but of course this only works if the mouse has selected that application. Thinking about this I think that the driver dumps the received remote control characters simply to stdout. If this is so, does there perhaps exists a /dev/dvb/adapterX/remoteX interface in the specs so I could modify that driver to send the codes there? If not how about adding such a thing? The application can then in a separate thread for example open this device and use those codes. This little remote has it all: numbers 0 to 9, ENTER, channel up /down, power, mute, EPG, volume, what not. Sorry I a am bit rusty, been many years since I did any programming for DVB, so may be this already exists? So much seems to have changed.
