foo_lirc plugin, LIRC compatibile remote control plugin! Options

[NeXT]

Yes, please, somebody port it..

[Duble0Syx]

I haven't switched to 0.9.x yet since I can't use my remote. Had been using RM-X, but it doesn't look like it will be ported. An LIRC plugin for 0.9.x would do the job nicely I think. Hope it is ported. Seems there is enough demand for it at least.

Hi, I also haven't finally swiched to foobar2000 v0.9.1, because of the lack of foo_lirc.
Phi, I really love your work, so please...

[wazoo_999]

Here is the ported version.
I haven't used neither foo_lirc nor foobar sdk prior to version 0.9.1, therefore in some cases I had to make blind guesses when certain classes were missing or were too different. Please tell me if anything works incorrectly, I'll fix it if I can.

Looks good, although i can't actually test it. Great work.

[SBeaver]

It works very well!
I got all my buttons working with no hassle whatsoever.
Can't think of any more features that could be useful right now but if I think of any i'll let you know

[Duble0Syx]

Wow, thank you! Just installed this and it works great. Using it with my ATI Remote Wonder. Just downloaded a nice winLIRC plugin for the remotes software (http://remotew.free.fr/plugins.htm) and all is well. Now I can finally switch to v0.9.x. Still missing foo_dirwatch, but I can deal with it now that I have my remote.

EDIT: Not sure if it is worth mentioning, but in the console when I press a button on my remote it is shown 6 times. I have no idea what that means, if anything. Seems though like pressing a button once would only put one line in the console. This was the case using the same remote but with the winamp_spam plugin. It is functioning correctly though.

EDIT2: Seems not every button press is shown in the console 6 times. Every press is shown more than once, some more time than others. The forward button for exmple is shown 3 times, the back button 6.

Hi, first thanks a lot for porting the plugin to 0.9.x, but i got a problem.
When I install the plugin I don't see an entry of foo_lirc in Preferences, so I can't configure this.
I hope you can help me, I got foobar2000 v0.9.1 and WinXP (I don't know if this does anything to the problem)

EDIT: I solved the problem, the WinLIRC entry is only visible if i install foo_converter.
Maybe you can solve this, or maybe it's an failure of foobar.

Does anyone know if it's possible to include keyboard commands? That way one could use a button on the remote and assign it to page up, page down, return, up, down, etc. within the playlist? Right now this plugin does everything I need except for the ability to navigate playlists. Adding this feature would really make this plugin that much greater. If it's not possible, how are some of you getting around this?


EDIT: Possible bug?--Forgot to add, on a fresh start of foobar, button presses are quick and responsive. Over several minutes/button presses of use, a delay builds up and the button presses lag noticeably more than at the start. This happens only with foolirc (girder, irassistant, etc. all work fine), so it isn't a hardware problem I don't think. Not too big of a deal, just pointing it out and wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

I seem to be having trouble using this plugin.
The plugin works, but I can only bind one key at a time!
So, if I bind volume up on the remote to something, I cannot bind any of the other keys!
Anyone have this problem before? I've tried several different remotes... Thanks in advance

Edit: Shaun, there is a commercial IR program called Girder which you can assign keypresses to buttons on your remote. I hear there's a large learning curve, though. Might be worth checking out.

With Girder you can practically do anything you can do with windows. Its a great program. The learning curve is a bit long, but after a few hours you can figure it out with some online manuals.

Maybe some girder geek in here: I use the latest free girder (its 3.2.9). Do you know, if I could achieve the following:

Toggle a state/ a variable between 0 and 1. If 0, do some action on another rc keys, if 1, do some other.

The idea is, because I have a "fast" button on my rc. So I want to be able to switch some other buttons between fast and slow modes. (i.e. scrolling buttons, forward/rewind buttons).

I couldn't find a help file or proper documentation for V3 yet.

Girder 4 is bloaty and way too expensive.

Solved it with a simple states toggle and by enabling/disabling groups.

Hi Wazoo. Still waiting on the context menus.
Will be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi All,

the update is at the usual place. I'm having slight issues with hierarchy of the main menus, I hope to fix it in the next point release.

[MrEnergizer]

Firstly wazoo thx for the update....
Sorry to keep hassling but I don't use custom info for rating( Which is in new context menus) I use a masstagger script.
In preferences - 'Keyboard shortcuts' I have setup under TYPE [context/now playing] and ACTION Scripts : 1 rating, Scripts : 2 Rating etc. etc.
Is there some way to implement this in the context menu of Foo_lirc as it is missing at the moment. There is a 'scripts' with no list of my user scripts
I want to use my remote to rate tag my files.
Hope you understand.
Thx for your help.
Mr E

I just got an ATI remote wonder plus - thanks for this plugin - it's exactly what I needed!

I have found a small bug (I think):
I want one of my remote buttons to be the "play random" button in foobar. When I assign it in foo_lirc it there are 2 "random" commands, but both switch the playlist order to random (one of them is supposed to play random).

I guess this is just a naming problem - any chance of a fix?

Thanks again for a most useful plugin!

Ed

[askoff]

Does foo_lirc work with the latest foobar 0.9.5.5 version? I have troubles with assigning commands to keys. I get lirc messages from my remote control, but can't assing any command for them.
