Kodi (XBMC) addon for Dropbox. The current release includes features as described below. Dbmc has been added to the official Kodi repositories! So you can directly install it from within Kodi now. See also: http://addons.xbmc.org/show/plugin.dbmc/ Notice when using the synchronizing service: This service is a one way synchronization only! From Dropbox to local. So: No files will be added/uploaded to Dropbox, which are added locally No Dropbox items will be removed or changed when removed or changed locally (on a new new sync they will be put back) Important: If you are on a platform, for which the native Dropbox Application is available, use that! That is a much better working, more stable and more safe than this service. This service has been created for the platforms which are not supported by Dropbox (like Raspbmc). Check the Dropbox site for their native Application.

Note my Hava died in May 2013 so there will likely be no more updates for Hava devices. I bought a Vulkano to replace it and hope to have similar functionality for it soon.

This is an open-hardware Infrared Remote Controlled USB keyboard, without keys, implemented using a PIC micro-controller and MikroC. IRK! enables you to use your LEARNING remote control to control any system that you can plug a USB keyboard into (Windows, Linux, Mac). Great for controlling a home theatre system such as MythTV, XBMC or Media Center. No drivers are required. You can program *any* USB keyboard function (with or without Control, Alt, Shift and GUI modifiers) to a button on your infrared remote control and when you press that button IRK! will send the corresponding USB keystroke to the host computer. You can program *any* USB Consumer Device control code too...for example, Play, Pause, Mute, Volume up, Volume down, and many others.
