Hi forum,
This is a though one (at least for me...) so please bear with me... :-)
Where am I:I have core/hybrid with SPDIF from audio outlet connected to my AV/Receiver on VCR-1 input.
Up to now, I'v just been controlling sound directly on the receiver.
Next step is to control the receiver via IR. (Onkyo Integra TX-DS939 old but good :-) )
What I have:Core/Hybrid
- on board (DIGN 5 case) IrTrans IRT-USB Transm/Receive (also with VFD but no light from LED's up to now..)
I guess this device also has a transmitter, but as it came undocumented, nothing is connected to it yet. (I have an idea, but prefer to solve other stuff before...)
This device pick's up commands allright from universal M$ XP MCE IR remote...
- usb connected IR recognized as mce usb2 with child LIRC Embedded Transmit
This one has a IR transmitter connected via mini-jack and the transmitting LED sticks on to the Onkyo receiver's IR eye
This LIRC device receives the same commands from the M$ XP MCE IR remote

There is also a Gyration GYR3101 - This one works partly - It can be used as pointer/mouse and some buttons work, but not all
I have been working with Xmodmap to add some more buttons - allthough I think this should not be done with Xmodmap -
Please your advice on this theme?[/li][/list]
What do I have working with the Onkyo receiver:- I have somehow succeeded to connect the Onkyo with the LIRC unit (at first it auto connected to IRTrans but this could not transmit further..
I have managed to enter and test some IR codes via Pluto admin - it seems that Pronto 0162 works for a lot.
I also found a website where I found these hex codes - I did the test and pasted them in - and some of them do work - so I feel I'm on the right track.
During testing via Pluto I can control the receiver - so I can check input naming etc.
- The receiver is hierarchically connected as a child to the LIRC unit - Is this correct? Please comment?
But how do I make LMCE switch to the VCR-1 input when it plays TV or DVD or ...?
I have been trying to work with the pipes on the OnScreen Orbiter Device Info page.
I also noticed that all sources such as Phone, Xine Player, MythTV Player and MPlayer are connected as child to the OnScreen Orbiter -
I've tried to adjust their Device Pipes Used but...
Looking forward to your help!!
PS. I have been browsing the wiki but have not found much helpful - so I'm trying to write some instructions to make this stuff more easy...
