Been looking at this for a while now, and we've finally got something working.This little widget will allow us to use an infra-red remote to control media playback (or do pretty much anything else) on pretty much any PC without the need for additional drivers (so long as it can support a USB keyboard).
It is programmable over USB using a simple command line interface allowing the user to configure it on a per-button basis. Currently working on configurations for controlling a PS3 for video playback.
More work being done, so watch this space!

Interesting!. Did you design this hardware?. And i hope this is plain IR and not IrDA?. I have been looking for a Plain IR to USB for some time to connect to my beagle board.
Thanks,
Deepak
It's an in-house design, partially done as a project by one of our summer students. It is plain IR. We are planning to sell them soon - drop us an email and we'll let you know when it happens.
