Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] [PATCH] add lirc support



Greetings,

Ah, I see.  It looks like a good idea for 0.9 as Colin previously
mentioned that the bonobo/remote functionality needed some work.  If a
plugin system were developed as recently discussed, the bonobo interface
would be great to use.  Hopefully support for the other operations that
are missing will be added.

As for 0.8, I feel the patch should be added as lirc is already
supported, and it provides a useful and completely optional feature with
no immediate alternative.  Either that or remove the current lirc
support from the 0.8 branch if its not going to be used.

Regards,
Jon Oberheide
