This plug-in adds WinLIRC support to jetAudio. jetAudio is an excellent media player supporting all common audio and video formats. It already has built-in support for Microsoft Media Center and Streamzap remote controllers, but this doesn't work for other types of remotes, and can't be configured at all (the key bindings can't be changed). In contrast, you can use every remote supported by WinLIRC with this plug-in (almost any standard remote control). You also get full control over the key bindings, allowing you to adjust them to your own likings. Because WinLIRC has a client/server model, a WinLIRC server is required before you can use the plug-in. The server decodes signals received from the remote and forwards them to the client (i.e. this plug-in). The original WinLIRC server supports only infrared remotes, but you can setup a WinLIRC server for X10 (radio-frequency) remotes too, more about that in the included readme file. The plug-in can be configured by editing an INI file, which is also explained in this readme file.
