“Does exactly what I want in an easy way (mostly), worth EVERY £! Still a bit unpolished software though. Some initial crash after first install. Had problems setting it up at first until I found out the app lacked support for my Swedish keyboard so had to switch to English keyboard-set-up in Windows. No info within the app about the advanced options. Even though, I am very happy about my purchase. Using with a random old dvd-remote and XBMC atm.”
“In all honesty, I also bought the Remote sold in the Pi Hut and this combo does not even require line of sight (the pi with the lirc is on a vesa mount on the back of the TV).”
“With XBMC, Linux (OpenELEC) FLIRC works out-of-the-box, so just plug in and go.
The free software of FLIRC is easy to install, and then start the software and you select a keyboard layout. It is each remote control compatible.”
