# Usage with inputlircd (Obsoleted)

anyRemote can be used with inputlircd package

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:

- install inputlircd package. It's' available in download area. You do not have to install LIRC.
- run inputlircd like:

      inputlircd -d /tmp/some_name -gf -u `whoami` \
                -m 0 /dev/input/eventX

  beware, /dev/input/eventX should be readable by the user.
- run anyRemote with "-s ilirc:/tmp/some_name" parameter. It suggested to use AT-mode configurational files.

      anyremote -f /path/to/cfg/file -s ilirc:/tmp/some_name

## How to determine appropriate /dev/input/eventX for inputlircd

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

## anyRemote and LIRC

It seems there is no practical sence in this, but anyRemote could be configured to work with LIRC.
