Quoting Niels Wagenaar n.wagenaar@xs4all.nl:
This is indeed something I was looking for. Forgot that some options are extremely easy to resolve. But I was wondering, what remote do you use yourself and did you configure a .lircrc for vdr-sxfe?
Nothing special, it is a mediacenter Philips remote that came with my OriginAE case. Later I will use my Harmony 555 that has already learned the codes from the Philips remote. The case has a remote receiver from the company irtrans, they provide a lirc compatible server named irserver.
I use a lircrc, but not for vdr-sxfe. Vdr-sxfe doesn't need a lircrc, the remote.conf from the vdr is all you need. The lircrc only reacts on one unused button on the remote and toggles the modes. It is very short. I am not completely ready with it, I did it yesterday evening only. What is missing is that I intercept the power button and if vdr-sxfe is currently not seen I will switch to tv mode and then send the power button to vdr-sxfe so that the vdr has a chance to say no and I will see the reason why it wouldn't like to power down.
I was intrigued to see what is this XBMC all around and found that thread in XBMC forum: http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=36988
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=123095&page=6Looks like there is a way to stream live TV to XBMC from VDR already. Any reason you don't use that option and prefer to have 2 frontends?
