Would it be a good idea to put the link to the package overview in the first post?
That way we can find the bugtracker easier.

Just gave 0.6 thumbs up. Spot on.

Thank you! I have also been frustrated by the remote offerings to date. Pierogi just works, and has a great interface.

For those who may be interested, I have gone ahead and pushed Pierogi 0.6.1 up into the extras-devel repository. This update includes:
  • Moved the Mute button to the main tab, shuffled some buttons around on the Utility tab
  • Made a first pass at keysets for Admiral, Daewoo, Grundig*, Logitech, Philco, Roku, and Topfield

This version may be a bit more unstable than most, as I've thrown together a lot of code in a fairly short time. Be warned!

*BTW, wow, Grundig is tough. There were at least a half-dozen different IR protocols in just the config files available from the LIRC, including a few I've never seen before. I probably only managed to encode a third of the files into Pierogi; odds are good that it'll be a while before I can provide decent coverage for most Grundig devices...

Drat. I'm kind of coming up dry on alternate keysets for these guys. Unfortunately, both Admiral and Philco were bought out by other companies in the last few years, so figuring out exactly what hardware is hidden beneath their brand names is a little confusing.

Wikipedia says that the Admiral name was being placed on Zenith products for a while, and a spinoff company called AOC is still producing TVs today, although I don't know if they have the Admiral brand name. But the single LIRC config file for Admiral appears to be a Sharp-manufactured device, from the IR protocol...

Philco was supposedly bought out by Philips in the mid-80s, but the one config file I've got is definitely not using a Philips protocol.

In short, finding the right codes for those TVs is going to be a mess.

At least your Samsung TV works well!

But it is not impossible

The Roku settings worked great for me.

Anybody with an Admiral try all the Sharp and Zenith keysets.

Philco try all Magnavox, Samsung or Yamaha keysets.
