Introduction

LIRC is a standard communication protocol between remote control devices and application that receive data from these devices.

Download, Install and Run the LIRC server

To enable LIRC support in Zoom Player, you must first have a LIRC server installed and running. For windows, an open-source server you can download is WinLIRC.

Zoom Player Setup

Once the LIRC server is installed and receiving input from your devices, in Zoom Player's advanced options dialog under "Playback / Controls / LIRC", specify the LIRC's server Address (or IP) and Port.

Assigning events

To assign LIRC events to Zoom Player functions, simply connect to the LIRC server and use your remote device. Any event the LIRC server generates should appear in Zoom Player's "Incoming event log" window.

To assign a Zoom Player function to a LIRC event, select the event and click the "Assign Function" button. Several Zoom Player function types are available to choose from. Once assigned, any event coming from the LIRC server will trigger the assigned Zoom Player function.
