Sorry didn't actually read that far.
I'd suggest that if changes were made to the lirc support that it would be a
good idea to map directly to Myth actions instead of keys. It's been
discussed in the past, I didn't pay much attention at the time but I seem to
recall some resistance to that idea. Still it would allow both keyboard and
remote to be configured differently without a making lirc configuration too
complicated. It would even be easier to code (he says without actually
looking at the current stuff).
It would also be nice to see remote key config brought under Myth's own UI,
much like MythControls allows now for keyboard config.
I'm not suggesting that you do both these things, I'm just raising them for
discussion. I might even do it myself when I've finished my other tasks.
