Title:
"PATCH" to enable lirc over network
Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: lirc
Hi Guys,
I have made the following changes to /etc/init.d/lirc to allow my
"client" machine to receive lirc commands from my "server" machine,
over the network. This came from having a mythbuntu frontend machine
with no remote control support. Not sure if the feature request should
go to them, but both installs was "Ubunu 10.10 ALT install" first :)
Here goes:
Line 59 in /etc/init.d/lirc now looks like:
if [ ! -z "$TRANSMITTER_DEVICE" ] || [ ! -z "$TRANSMITTER_DRIVER" ] ||
[ ! -z "$ENABLE_NETWORK" ]; then
After line 63 I added:
if [ ! -z "$NETWORK_HOST" ]; then
#REMOTE_ARGS="$REMOTE_ARGS --connect $NETWORK_HOST:$NETWORK_PORT"
REMOTE_ARGS="$REMOTE_ARGS --connect $NETWORK_HOST"
fi
Then, in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf, I set the above variables.
A few issues "off the bat":
*) I am not sure if lirc can support a network proxy type setup, imaging a bunch of remote control server out there, with one client, but the client is a server too... If not, we should guard against this, perhaps with a NETWORK_MODE="client|server"
*) My variable names need to comply to a standard ?
*) Not sure if my "PATCH" is a patch, rather a hack perhaps ? :)
