Dear all,

HP Mobile Remote Control drivers, free and safe download. HP Mobile Remote Control drivers latest version: Install the latest driver for remote control. If you're using an OEM IR receiver, enter the manufacturer as Microsoft and the model as Kodi. Harmony setup for Kodi on Mac. Be placed in discovery mode by selecting discovery from a software menu or pressing a button on the device.
I am running Windows 7 Pro on a Mac mini 2011 (model i5 with AMD graphic card).
Since I cannot use the built-in IR receiver I bought one (a RC6 compliant one to use with my Harmony remote) powered by a USB port.
When I plug the IR Receiver on the USB port, everything is fine. The receiver turns on and I can use it. However, as soon as I shutdown the Mac mini, the IR receiver will not turn on when I turn on the mini. I have to unplug the IR receiver and plug it again.
Any help on this would be really appreciated. How can I have my IR Receiver that turns on every time I reboot my Mini and boot on Windows.
I did not try how it works with OSX (I'm not really good with it).

Thank you for your help.

LIRC is a package that allows you to decode and send infra-red signals of many (but not all) commonly used remote controls.
Recent linux kernels makes it possible to use some IR remote controls as regular input devices. Sometimes this makes LIRC redundant. However, LIRC offers more flexibility and functionality and is still the right tool in a lot of scenarios.
The most important part of LIRC is the lircd daemon which decodes IR signals received by the device drivers and provides the information on a socket. It also accepts commands for IR signals to be sent if the hardware supports this.
The user space applications allows you to control your computer with your remote control. You can send X11 events to applications, start programs and much more on just one button press. The possible applications are obvious: Infra-red mouse, remote control for your TV tuner card or CD-ROM, shutdown by remote, program your VCR and/or satellite tuner with your computer, etc. Using lirc on Raspberry Pie is quite popular these days.
There are some config files for remote controls at the remotes database. This is about 2500 devices and counting. These devices should work with the general drivers or (if it lacks timing info) the driver used to create them.
If you can't find your remote control here it does not mean that your remote control is not supported. It's just that there is no config file for it yet. All remote controls that are supported by learning remote controls i.e., almost any, should also work with LIRC.

Besides a remote control you also need a capture device to read the data from the remote. Former versions focussed on home-brew capture hardware connected to the serial or parallel port. Descriptions how to build such hardware can be found here. Current versions of LIRC also support a broad range of other hardware. As a starter, you can use the kernel built-in support for many USB dongles and similar. Besides this LIRC supports basically any conceivable way to capture your data including serial devices, parallel ports, sound input etc. You can see the complete list in the left pane.
