[ANNOUNCE] XBox360 Media Remote - maemo.org

tswindell | # 1 | 2010-12-08, 17:59 | Report

I've just uploaded into extras-devel an app I developed yesterday whilst messing with QML, it's called "XBox360 Media Remote". It allows you to control your XBox 360 with the Nokia N900s' CIR port.

Obligatory screenshot:

So, let me know what you think.

Do you already use a media remote with you XBox, if not you need to enable it on the xbox before it'll work, somewhere under settings. Can't remember exactly where.

Okay, probably a bug then, can you run it from the command line and tell me if it says anything interesting?

/opt/usr/bin/xbox360-media-remote

Okay, I did a bit of investigating, I need to fix a packaging issue with getting sudo access. I thought lirc added the appropriate entries but doesn't, I'll update the package which should be downloadable in 10 minutes.
