I use an older version of this

I trained it to translate extra buttons on the TV remove into keystrokes, but you could use any old remote control you have lying around.
Unfortunately that is the very system I seem to be having problems with right now :-( (At least an older version) For some unknown reason it is very unresponsive. Hard to know if flirc is the problem or the older remote control, but we have tried two remote controls (of the same type) and they both have the same problem. Is like you need to press every button at least twice to get flirc to respond. I also tried the TV remote, through the TV and HDMI-CEC. That appeared to be good sometimes, unresponsive at other times. Pity, this would be the most convenient if I could get it working reliably. -- Brian May <brian@linuxpenguins.xyz> https://linuxpenguins.xyz/brian/
