What is 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.
Comments and Reviews
This is the smallest and most efficient infrared remote control software. I use it with a script to control Windows and any application I want. All you need to do is to find the right remote control configuration file (http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/), or create one with IRRecord.exe.
If you are using an universal remote control, you can download the Phillips RC5 configuration file (http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/philips/RC-5) and enter the Phillips TV code for your remote.
