Integration Ideas

LIRC Config makes integrating external A/V devices with your favorite Linux PVR software seamless. Why configure just 1 remote when you can do this:

Using Any Remotes

The only time when remotes strewn all around the room is a good thing is when it doesn't matter which one you use. LIRC Config lets you setup any number of remotes to control your favorite Linux Media PC software.

TIP: Get the kids their own remote and keep your favorite to yourself.

Remote Translator

Control any external A/V device with any remote using your Media PC as the in-between translator.

TIP: Have an external audio receiver? Map your volume buttons to directly control your audio receiver instead of adjusting the PC's PCM volume for maximum clarity.

Add External A/V Devices as MythTV selectable "Activities"

Just got an HD DVD player? Integrate it with your MythTV menu by setting up an "Activity", then control it using a Remote Translator from your Media PC remote.

TIP: There's no need to route your high-definition content through the Media PC - connect the player to the TV and just centralize it's activity selection and control via MythTV.

Simply create an LIRC Config settings profile to begin.
