You do not need to run the app on your barebones X + Mythfrontend setup<br>
that doesn't have a full Linux desktop installed. Run it on a spare<br>
computer that has a full OS installed. Program the receiver on that<br>
computer, and then plug it into your frontend. The configuration is not<br>
stored on the computer, but rather the receiver itself.<br>

Sort of curious on this device. However, the information on the website is, well, not that exhaustive.<br>
<br>
I don't really see how it works. As I understand it, there are two options<br>
<br>
- Either the kernel sees it as a regular USB keyboard. This should work fine, but with the basic limitation that only one application can receive the keypresses. Which might or might not be what you want. LIRC tricks like long keypresses, repeat suppression and modes doesn't work.<br>
<br>
- Or, it emulates the lircd socket. Less likely, although there is some other device out there doing this. Multiple applications can receive the button presses if they have lirc support, but the lirc configuration is fixed.<br>
<br>
In either case it's always the same trade-off: simplicity vs flexibility. This device certainly looks simple.<br>
<br>
