[Solved]LIRC in mozilla plugin?

[djstava]

Can I use LIRC in mozilla plugin?

[khilliard]

I play to use a remote. I'm new to lirc, still learning how to use it but it seems that you can always use one of the lirc utilities like irxevent which can send keystrokes and mouse event to any window. I hope to place javascript event handlers to filter my 'command keys' and call the associated vlc plugin command.

I tried but not succeed with MCE USB remote on ubuntu 9.10.
Lirc works well,it's OK to run mode2 and irw.

~/.lircrc

begin
prog = vlc
button = Play
config = key-play-pause
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = Pause
config = key-play-pause
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = Stop
config = key-stop
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = Skip
config = key-jump+medium
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = Replay
config = key-jump-short
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = Forward
config = key-next
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = Rewind
config = key-prev
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = Up
config = key-nav-up
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = Down
config = key-nav-down
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = Left
config = key-lav-left
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = Right
config = key-right
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = VolUp
config = key-vol-up
repeat = 1
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = VolDown
config = key-vol-down
repeat = 1
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = Mute
config = key-vol-mute
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = Pictures
config = key-audiodelay-up
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = Music
config = key-audiodelay-down
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = More
config = key-crop
end
begin
prog = vlc
button = RecTV
config = key-fullscreen
end

compiled git vlc with --enable-lirc and run

Code: Select all

sudo lircd vlc --control lirc filename VLC media player 1.1.0-git The Luggage vlc: could not connect to socket vlc: Permission denied [0xa0ed6e0] lirc interface error: lirc initialisation failed [0xa0ed6e0] main interface error: no suitable interface module

The method doesn't work when vlc embed in firefox。How can I make the firefox response while I press some remote key?I let the javascript function to react when some key pressed in html page(for example,fullscreen),so i think if i can send the key value to the firefox,then i can control the vlc plugin,Am I right?Any suggestion will be great appreciated！

Figured it out,modify the .lircrc and add

Code: Select all

begin prog = irxevent button = Yellow repeat = 0 config = Key ctrl-d CurrentWindow end

make the irxevent in running status,press the Yellow button,the firefox will receive the signal.
