[dmanooos]

What is the difference between QtIrreco and irreco?=

[hussein34]

its a great app, unfortunatly, can't get it to work on my sony Bravia, I watched another video, says that I can pick a model number close to my model for remote, I did that, still didnt work, any suggestions, I appreciate any help, thanks

Nokia N00 - Lo: :D

[gpower88]

what can i do if my device is not in the LircDB list????

[IrrecoTeam]

There are ways to record remotes. E.g. with Lirc via a laptop's IR receiver or via an external IR (trans)ceiver. Not possible, AFAIK, with an N900.

Scroogle or whatever is your friend if you haven't got the gear.

my brother has one its funny at the mall when u turn it off u se peploe running around seeing whats wrong till u put it back on lol

[feelingeverfine]

same as below. Irreco backend error. i try to 'sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start' but it brings back 'config file contains no valid remote control definition' please help.

[IrrecoTeam]

Should be fixed now.

Also, since the development of Irreco has been (and will be, I'm afraid) very quiet recently, we'd suggest N900ers to have a look at QtIrreco. Search YouTube for "QtIrreco for N900 tutorial".

[jecki007]

i have all make in the video but in n900 coming in device controllers:

irreco backend error

internal lirc

code: 1

can not open socket

[feelingeverfine]

Got it. download 'rootsh' from extras repo. then open xterminal. type 'sudo gainroot' hit enter. type '/etc/init.d/lirc start' hit enter. then try.

[vandd00r]

which rep is this?

[IrrecoTeam]

extras-devel

[fra83fra]

omg omg... great application!!! and good tutorial too. nice work!

[djlarrikin]

Does this app work in portrait mode?

[IrrecoTeam]

This application doesn't have portrait mode.

Although one could make button images for portrait view the IR port placement would make actual use very challenging.

[knk4eva01]

what model televison did you use? and was there any additional hardware besides the n900 and the tv?

[IrrecoTeam]

If I recall correctly the tv was some old ViewSonic.

And no extra hardware were used, just n900 and tv.

This (proof of consept) was also tested with newer +40" Sony telly.

[aarefanehaa]

Does N900 even have a IR port? It says no on the official published specifications . I confused

[skeleto]

Infrared port:Yes

STW for "n900 specs".

[aarefanehaa]

Thanks. got it

[nominaali]

too many steps. Too typical Maemo application.

[xavierid]

Great!

[tissot233]

Looking great!

[JeReMiZ]

Why on the top right corner of the phone its written "N00" instead of N900? Is this a clone?

[IrrecoTeam]

It's a n900 prototype

[OngBakThaiWarrior]

how powerfull is the signal of the N900, because in the video you aim rather close to the tv. Will it work also from 2 meters or so?

And can you set multiple pages for the buttons or are you limited to 1 page for all your buttons?

[IrrecoTeam]

It seems to work fine from 5 or 6 meters. Longer distances might work, haven't tested (yet). One remote has only one page for buttons but you can create multiple remotes for same device and you can switch easily between them. So that's kind of a hack to achieve it.

[dadiduekappa]

But N900 have IR port???

[Umut87]

No, but an IR transmitter :-)

[maticinfo]

Nice program, sure want it after i get my n900!

However i noticed that your battery got drained fast. The video started at 8:45 am with about 3/4 battery left.

At the end, at 11:00 am it looks like it´s only 1/4 battery left. Is the battery so bad in the n900 or does the app drain heavy on the battery?

[IrrecoTeam]

Video is recorded at separate days. Notice finger/stylus change.
