@tswindell

Got a vote from me. ;)

I have found that i have to be directly in front of my Xbox 360 (max 6ft) for it to work accurately, but i don't use it that often only when i play i film through it. but that's not tswindell's fault just the range on the N900 IR output signal.

Can anyone confirm what the IR signal range is like on a TV remote controlling application?

Yeah, thanks :) There are likely many variables, including the recievers sensitivity and ir noise. Like you I get about 6-7ft range for both TV and XBox with my N900 which just so happens to fall in range of my comfy sofa :)

Any luck with being able to use this without the remote sensor and being able to use it strictly using Wi-Fi?

I know you talked about looking at this over last weekend, so had to ask. :)

No not yet, I'm pushing it to extras first then I'll add extra functionality into v2.

just for some range info, i have controlled sky and virgin (cable) set top boxes comfortably from up to 10 or 12 feet away, the xbox was working comfortably from where i was sitting about 6 or 7 feet from the unit. never tried going any further.

Yeah, the N900 seems to have a very narrow FOV though and I'm sure some devices have better receivers. please vote: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...e/1.0-1maemo2/

Yeah same here perfect for my lazy boy 3 seater. :p


sorry for off topic

What application do you use to control your TV?

Well, before this XBox360 media remote app, there was 'Tom's TV Control' app ;) Which is basically identical, it's my intention to write a more generic app that can be used to create pretty remotes for anything you can get working with LIRC, in theory you can do it now. If you look at the qml source for xbox360-media-remote you'll see how it all magically works, well, that and the /etc/lircd.conf file ;)
