i got alot of spare IR recievers that hook up to a normal headphone jack and im
looking to make it so i can sync my cable/universal remote to my computer using this.
i am looking to do this so i can easily control windows media player(or other media software) with the
remote without having to buy a blue tooth remote or something.
if there is no software things like this or if it wont work from what you see i say i have then
can you recommend a remote for computers that DOES NOT need to be pointed at a reciever?
(bluetooth seems to be the choice(but it CANT have those mini recievers….i seem to have issues with them))
The cheapest would be a USB remote receiver, which typically will come with a dedicated remote.
Example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880101009
These will work easily with WMP and Media Center, and most universal remotes can also work with the remote receiver under a “generic windows remote” profile.
To my knowledge, there is no software that will allow the audio inputs to work as a remote source.
If it’s just WMP you want to control the generic remotes will do. $14 here on Amazon or one with NetFlix function for $22 right here
Personally I always want to do more with the HTPC so I use a tiny wireless keyboard with a touchpad.
Okay, “TOP LAYER” is what is confusing me. Windows Live Photo Gallery can run a slideshow of pretty much any image format as a full-screen application. Or are you looking at something that makes the windows transparent so you can see the images underneath?
