Edit Reason: fix mixup of lirc and lxde
)
Hi, Remy:
Glad to help.
As it happens, I've been working with the same basic control functions just this morning.
The last few weeks I've been full-time "Tour Guide Barbie" for my sister and her daughter on their visit the USA but in the odd moment here and there I've been poking at a Flirc solution using Python instead of taking the lirc lxde approach developed by didier31 (http://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.p...43#pid7343). Not that I have anything against lirc lxde but in Linux "there's more than one way to do that" and much of the lirc lxde machinery isn't needed for the Flirc. [Post edit: didn't notice my mixup of lirc and lxde until after the second cup of coffee
)
So far, my test code works on my laptop with Python 3.7.1 but not on my RPi with the stock Python 3.5.3 in moOde 5.3.1 running Raspbian Stretch 'cuz of evolutionary changes to the evdev module <sigh>. Yeah, I could manually install a newer Python but fortunately Raspbian Buster is more up-to-date so I should be good to go with Tim's upcoming release.
Isn't moOde fun
Regards,
Kent
