[mythtv-users] Easy Question: Plug and Play IR for MythTV?

[Douglas Wagner]

I probably should do a little searching for this first, probably going to
get a JFGI response, but I'm hoping to make this an easy question with an
easy quick answer.

I'm currently running basic serial / home brew IR through MythTV...or I was
for years.  The Serial IR configuration dropped off of Mythbuntu's IR
configuration quite some time ago...and I've not been using IR to control
my Myth Setup for quite some time.  That said, every time I upgrade or LIRC
upgrades I basically have to go back in and manually reconfigure (copying
files around, etc.) to get LIRC to work and I can never really find the
time to do so.

I'm on Mythbuntu 11.10 ATM and simply looking for what the best Plug and
Play IR system is for MythTV at this point.  I don't mind spending a little
bit of money, but I want something that is "future proof"...something that
will likely be supported on the mythbuntu config menu for a long time to
come.

Basically, I want to be able to plug something in, make a selection on the
Mythbuntu (or other) menu and have the remote at least recognised and
talking to the OS...I can configure from there.  Recommendations?
