Hi there,

I wrote a python script to send the key as an event to an arbitrary machine (specified by the parameter) running xbmc on the network.

You need lirc configured on the machine you want to run the script, and you need to install python-pylirc. On XBMC you need to enable event server and allow other computers to connect.

To run the script, untar the tar ball and enter into xbox-remote folder and run the script

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-pylirc

./xbox-remote.py --address 192.168.0.10

You can run it as a system service. Instructions and files are hosted on google codes

http://code.google.com/p/xbox-remote/

You can have multiple instance of the script running on the same machine.

It's really a cool way to share the remote. I don't need to plug&play the remote between xbox and my desktop any more.
