Raspberry Pi does not come with a preinstalled OS. There are vendors who sell packages with a preloaded OS on a micro SD card, but probably not with a mediaplayer OS. But it is really not hard; there are tons of, e.g., Youtube videos.

The thread is already a month old, and the OP seems to have settled on a solution, but, given the title of the thread, I still want to point out that a (dedicated) Raspberry Pi makes an excellent media player. The 1 and 2s are possibly a bit weak, and the 5 lacks 3.5 mm jack (you can use a HDMI ...

This is the folder in SVN.

Hmm, can't you play the audio files on Roku? Googling for "play mp3 on Roku" gives tons of hits. Ideally, you would like to install VLC or Kodi, but that appears to be (at least formally) not possible.

What are your requirements? Except for "not too expensive" and IR support?

There are tons of media player comparisons on the Internet, in particular Youtube.

IR support appears to be less and less supported, but often either FLIRC (emulates a USB keybord) or a MCE USB receiver offers a solution.

Nice to hear from you.


This guide was helpful however: https://www.drejo.com/blog/arduino-lirc/
This is what I wrote the author as reply (slighty shortened)

I strongly recommend against directly connecting IR LEDs to the board. The reason is not to "avoid huge currents", the main reason is to ...

I am an avid Denon user myself; first AVR-3808, then A100 (~AVR-4311), and now AVC-4800H.

This file contains the commands that I use for my AVC-4800. It is in Girr format; RMIR/RMDU can "open" it directly; just save it to disc and "open" it. Be sure to select executor 00CD:2* in the popup that ...

Here is one single command that does everything at once; download the script, the program, and install it. Just copy and paste into a suitable terminal program. Of course, curl needs to be installed.

Merry Christmas y'all!

I can confirm that, with standard setup and parameters, IrpTransmogrifier does not decode the given signals:

$ irptransmogrifier decode 0000 0073 0000 000E 0020 001F 0040 003F 0020 001F 0040 003F 0020 001F 0020 00A4 0020 001F 0040 003F 0040 003F 0020 001F 0020 001F 0040 ...

Since I am not (presently?) a XSight user, I attacked the first problem. It is pretty easy to analyze and fix the crash:

Graham, I am certainly OK with that. Just to clarify, I never advocated linking the development version; I share your reluctance of doing that. Just the official current version.

It is all just about redundancy. These days people read carefully only in rare occasions, so sometimes redundany can be ...

It's here:

Thank you! I have bookmarked that address.

Possibly it would be sensible to make an menu entry in RMIR like Help -> Download directory (or "Download current version", or whatever...) that would browse said ...

Rob has already answered the question on double presses on the record key.

One type of button that has always been tricky for folks to know how best to program, is the input select type of buttons, like VIDEO1, VIDEO2, HDMI1, HDMI2, etc

Here's a button strategy that I've always found useful ...

Not the worst idea for a thread, in particularly not at this time of the year.

1. The power button on my 7881s always wears out -- but not the other keys. Applying conductive "paint" on the key mat helps, but for a limited time ony, then ot has to be re-done. But then the conductive goo has dried ...

Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to use IrScrutinizer to create RM-ready device upgrades from the files IrS can import like CCF and CML? I understand that IrS can create RM-import-ready GIRR files as output, but it isn't clear what GIRR functions should be used and what remote export options ...
