It is funny, but anyRemote can be used with IR remote controls/receivers supplied with TV tuner cards.
This feature was tested on IR remote RM-F7 and IR receiver supplied with Aver Media Studio 507 Tv tuner card.
To use anyRemote with IR remotes it needs to:
inputlircd -d /tmp/some_name -gf -u `whoami` -m 0 /dev/input/eventX
anyremote -f /path/to/cfg/file -s ilirc:/tmp/some_name
Run the following command:
ls -l /dev/input/by-path/|grep ir
and it will prints something like:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 2 21:25 pci-0000:01:05.0--event-ir -> ../event6
It seems there is no practical sence in this, but anyRemote could be configured to work with LIRC.
