The OpenVIX source code suggests it was designed with the ability to use alternate remotes in addition to the standard Dreambox remote.

I am keen to use a different (non-programmable) IR remote so would like to use this functionality.

Once decoded I see it is a simple task to map the keys using XML.

But how does one actually define an alternate remote or if a new driver is created how is it added to the system?

Alternatively I know it should be possible to use LiRC if I accept that fact that the “power on” function will never be able to work. Since that does not actually bother me is there a precompiled version anywhere?
