About WinLIRC

WinLIRC allows you to transmit and receive standard infrared remote control signals. This allows you to control your computer using almost any standard infrared remote control. It also allows your computer to control other equipment which uses these signals (stereo equipment).

WinLIRC is the Windows equivalent of LIRC, the Linux Infrared Remote Control program. WinLIRC (through version 0.6) was originally written by Jim Paris. Later releases are written and maintained on sourceforge

WinLIRC 0.8.7

  • Changed the default for the server to only allow localhost connections.
  • Updates to IRRecord
  • Bundled all the updated plugins. Ie the Serial plugin in the previous version had a critical bug in it where the transmitter was left on. Updated plugins are always available in the files section. Always check to make sure you have the latest version.
  • Bundled some of the other tools with WinLIRC such as IRGraph.

*Skystar2 remote control owners; Read readme.txt in skystar2 folder and just move winlirc.ini from this folder to plugins folder !

WinLIRC 0.8.7a

WinLIRC 0.8.7a
==============

- Fixed some crash vulnerabilities in the WinLIRC server. The vulnerabilities exist in all previous versions of
WinLIRC.
- Transmitting inside the program worked fine, but externally from command line or by TCP was hopelessly broken.
The sending string wasn't null terminated so it was basically fluke if it worked or crashed. Again this problem
was in all previous versions.
- Bundled two new plugins, one for the Firefly mini remote, and the other for the Microsoft MCE receiver.
- Fixed a few handle leaks in some of the plugins.

WinLIRC 0.9.0b

2 new plugins for TV cards ( thanks crazycat :) )

Increased the size of the sending buffer for transmitting, long protocols like RC6 with enough repeats were coming out larger than our transmit buffer size. Effects MCE and IRToy plugins.

Added an option to automatically create configs (using irrecord) from the GUI. No more command line needed.
