[vdr] Re: vdr-xine and remote trouble

Thanks for the great reply,

 

Now my challenge is how to compile xine with Lirc suppport. I have searched all over for an answer to this, but it is not mentioned anywhere...

 

Also, why is the lircrc file hidden? Could it not just be /home/lircrc instead of $home/.lircrc ?
