cant wait!

yeah, awesome. i tried to do something like this myself, but found it was beyond my abilities. thanks for your hard work!

will you be publishing the code, or will it be binary only?

Hey Everyone!

I managed to work out most of the serious bugs enough to make the driver usable.
I made a beta release today which is available here:

http://www.brandon-holland.com/irkeyboardemu.html

The binary includes a readme.txt which should contain most of the installation instructions. If your a dumb-ass feel free to post your questions in this thread. Also please post any problems or errors that you may find. Please do not use this driver for anything illegal. I am not responsible for any illegal use of this driver.

Have fun!

hi brandon - great work, cant wait to try it.

do you think this could be adapted somehow to allow events from third-party IR dongles to be passed as apple IR events?

specifically, i have a Manta TR1 usb dongle (from twistedmelon.com) and an apple remote. i guess i could set up their sw to emulate keypresses, but i'd rather just get the thing to act like the apple IR receiver.

i might have a look around your src and see if i can figure something out thanks for posting it!


EDIT: Ok, i've just read your readme. the bit about the sysctl variable is very interesting maybe i can hack something together...

a big news ever heard! thanks for your great job!
i'll test it when my hackint0sh turns alive back.

i can confirm it works well on an hackint0sh

thanks again bholland, also bikedude880!

It worked on my hackintosh...Great works and Thanks.

Thanks for your great work, bholland!

Edit: I don't get it...volume keys are the same as up/down keys?

Great news . Will be sweet to get to try aTV on my Mac Pro. Keep up the good work bro.

if you get this error :
second level name sendIR in kern.sendIR is invalid

you need to set the kext to a new USB HID device
