It seems to me that there are no keyboard shortcuts available at all for the embedded Flash player. If there are, I would appreciate this information. This is the very reason for my question. Why is it possible with Windows - a kernel difference? Found a work around though. Installed pulseaudio-module-lirc and I can now control the volume while Flash is playing. Thanks |

Thanks Robert. A month ago I finally learnt how to use the Lirc-mouse after several months struggling. Now I use it to navigate the iPlayer (in Windows I similarly use the FirefoxIntegrator, a MediaPortal plugin), but I could not handle the sound with the Lirc-mouse. The Windows commands type {app(0x80000)} don't work with the Flash player as such, but apparently work directly with the audio hardware - I believe that is the term I have seen used. Anyway it works for me, and now in Linux the pulseaudio-module-lirc solved the problem. Also this seems to bypass the Flash player and directly control the audio mixer. Believe the tab-navigation is with the browser and not with the Flashplayer. I was not aware of the Bigscreen version - seems great! Have just tested it for five minutes, but believe there is a problem how to get out of the fullscreen video as the remote escape command does not seem to work, nor receiving any other keyboard shortcut. The audio commands still work though. Had another go just before sending this off and found that Alt-F4 works to exit the fullscreen video. Cheers Krister |

Further about the iPlayer bigscreen: To exit the fullscreen video in Linux I have now corrected the irxevent command from Esc to Escape which works (Alt-F4 was the Windows command, sorry). Using the Lirc-mouse I can even reach the buttons at the bottom of the fullscreen video for Pause, Restart etc, and at the start page the lirc-mouse lets me choose a different tab (such as the TV tab). Cannot do any of this in Windows (can move to different tabs but not enter them). So in Linux I am very pleased about the bigscreen. Have not yet found a good way to exit the iPlayer in Linux except using the lirc-mouse to either of the top corners of the screen. Cheers, Krister |

To kill Firefox bigscreen iPlayer Ctrl-q, Ctrl-Shift-w and Alt-F4 all work fine until the fullscreen video has been started. Escaping from the video and trying to kill Firefox with either of these commands does not work with lirc (they all work if I use the keyboard). Cheers Krister |

Tried using lircmd to click on the background of the web page, then sent the ctrl-q. I works. Thanks Robert! Cheers Krister |
