<div>(On topic): I'm going to try my old PS3 BD remote with the built-in bluetooth on a RPi 3B+ mythfrontend I'm building. Anybody have experience with that--specifically do the batteries really run down in a few days on average? I'm aware of the pages on the
wiki. If it's too much hassle, back to the interwebs for another FLIRC - I've got other old remotes!</div>

<div dir="auto">IIRC I tried this about 18m ago but failed because the bluetooth (bluez) program had changed from 4.x to 5.x and too many things had changed. I couldn't get it to pair with 5.x and I couldn't install 4.x because of dependencies or something.
YMMV.</div>
