The challenge with many IR remotes is that not all keys work out of the box, so you need to customize keyboard.xml to get all the buttons working.
#OPENELEC FLIRC TV#
I’ve been using an IR remote control that came with the Anysee USB TV tuner. Turning on the device always requires unlocking the screen lock.You need to look at the device to find the right buttons.All media browsing can be done inside the app.WiFi connectivity allows you to control from virtually anywhere.Low cost if you already own an iOS device.

The movie and browser fan-art is displayed beautifully on the screen and the app can display all the meta data, too. Basic controlling functionality include navigation, playback, volume control, keyboard and other special buttons. There are some unique features such as live TV EPG support for the PVR edition of the media center. I´ve been using it with my iPad to control Raspbmc on Raspberry Pi and it´s very easy to locate media files with this app.

After completing the automated installation procedure, you are ready to start controlling the XBMC or any other media center software with the IR remote.Īnother great benefit of Flirc is that you can configure the adapter with one computer and then plug Flirc into another computer and your previously paired remote just works without additional software or drivers needed.

You can use the automated GUI to setup any remote control with your media PC. You can buy the adapter and download a free application from. The Flirc USB IR receiver is a very interesting adapter that turns IR signals of any remote into keyboard commands.

#OPENELEC FLIRC WINDOWS 8#
The comparison and testing was done with the following two HTPCs: an Intel Core i3 system with Windows 8 and an AMD A6-3500 with OpenELEC OS. I have been using all of the following 7 controlling devices over the past few months and years, so the comparison is based on real life media center use. In this shootout, I will compare 7 Kodi (was XBMC) remote controls to see which one is the most ideal way to control your Kodi powered HTPC.
