Hmm ok, if noone else steps up... The only `lirc hardware' I have are some usb dvb tuners and this `Hootoo' usb mediacenter remote, and the latter I couldn't get to work properly with lirc because of the way it handles repeat (i.e. it doesn't, it returns the code at button press and a zero at button release and I didn't find an easy way to make lirc behave with a device acting like that. I did get that remote to work with the vdr remote plugin tho, only some buttons don't seem to return anything.) Thanx, Juergenhome | help
