	<h1>Usage with IR remotes (Experimental)</h1>

<p>It is funny, but anyRemote can be used with IR remote controls/receivers supplied with TV tuner cards. 

<p>This feature was tested on IR remote RM-F7 and IR receiver supplied with Aver Media Studio 507 Tv tuner card.

<p>
To use anyRemote with IR remotes it needs to:

<ul>
<li>install <a href="http://www.nabble.com/inputlirc:-zeroconf-LIRC-daemon-using-Linux-input-event-devices-t1095010.html">inputlircd</a> package.
 It available in <a href="dload.html">download</a> area.
You did <b>not</b> have to install LIRC.

<li>run inputlircd like: 
<ul type="disc"><pre class="screen">
<span><strong class="command">inputlircd -d /tmp/some_name -gf -u `whoami` -m 0 /dev/input/eventX</strong></span>
</pre></ul>
beware, /dev/input/eventX should be readable by the user.
<p>

<li>run anyRemote with "-s ilirc:/tmp/some_name" parameter. It suggested to use AT-mode configurational files.
<ul type="disc"><pre class="screen">
<span><strong class="command">anyremote -f /path/to/cfg/file -s ilirc:/tmp/some_name</strong></span>
</pre></ul>
</ul>

<h2>How to determine appropriate /dev/input/eventX for inputlircd</h2>


<p>Run the following command:
<ul type="disc"><pre class="screen">
<span><strong class="command">ls -l /dev/input/by-path/|grep ir</strong></span>
</pre></ul>
<p>and it will prints something like:
<ul type="disc"><pre class="screen">
<span><strong class="command">lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec  2 21:25 pci-0000:01:05.0--event-ir -> ../event6</strong></span>
</pre></ul>
       
<p>
<h2>anyRemote and LIRC</h2>
<p>
It seems there is no practical sence in this, but anyRemote could be configured to <a href="lirc.html">work</a> with LIRC.
