Re: injecting synthetic IR events?

[Karl B. <ka...@tu...>]

It looks like this is possible, but a bit awkward to do with the
the -c option to relay messages from other systems running lircd.
To do this would involve writing a custom inet server that would
have to listen in the background.

I think this is a needed feature, and it could be implemented
nicely by adding another command to the client protocol.  Currently the
lircd listens for a few commands: "SEND_ONCE" for example.  We
could add a "SEND_RELAY" command which would include the command
to relay.  The rc command could be used as is to inject/relay messages.

I'll try this out.
