Adding remote control keycodes

[stickman]

Hi,

I'm spanish and I can't understand a word in German, so maybe this has been asked a thousand times...

I'd like to add some actions to my JP1-enabled remote that aren't present in the original Dbox2 remote.

Is neutrino ready for this?

I mean, could I add an OBC to my remote and map it somewhere in the neutrino configuration to do some action?
I hoped to find something under the /var/zapit tree, but I had no luck.

The decoding of the infrared signals is by the frontprocessor, not the main CPU.

So if you want to use additional codes you would first have to find them. The internals of the frontprocessor are unknown, so it's not clear if it can handle any additional control codes at all.

Also note that there are 2 different code sets, an older one (dbox1 compatible) which is only present in very old Nokias and a newer one.

The old Nokias also understand the new codes, the others do not decode the older codes.

Neutrino does not get the original IR-codes. They are received and translated to Linux Input-Device codes in the frontprocessor-remote control driver.

So you'd have to modify that driver first to see if additional codes are accepted.
