Changing channels on analog/V4L devices using IR Blaster?

Added by Marcus S almost 13 years ago

This relates to the Hauppage HD-PVR thread...

Does TVHeadend support changing channels via an IR transmitter/blaster (eg using LIRC)? This is a common requirement when using analog (/dev/video0) devices connected to a set top box.

If TVHeadend could even just call a script/executable when a channel change is requested (and pass the channel number as a parameter) it would be a great start - writing a perl or bash script that would then interface with LIRC would be easy. Obviously TVHeadend isn't going to be able to scan for channels, but the list could be configured manually or maybe even imported from XMLTV.

tvheadend does not support tuning external devices via an IR transmitter/blaster.
