I've been using Pierogi ever since I got my N900 about 4 years ago. It's great to have a whole bunch of remotes in my pocket. I was using my HP48G to be my remote control before the N900, alas, I don't have my HP48G anymore....
Recently I've been getting some equipment with missing remotes. Unfortunately I can't seem to find keysets that work completely, so I ended up buying the actual or a work-alike remote.
The questions I have -
1. It looks like all the remotes are hardcoded into the binary, so it's not really possible to move buttons around or to make a keyset that has all the functions of a particular device on the same keyset that's currently on two keysets?
2. I ended up using irrecord on a full Linux box to record remotes that I can't seem to find on Pierogi. Is it possible to get these added? I need to test these lircd.conf files to make sure they work with the device, and I probably should submit them to the lircd project as well...
I just recorded:
Funai VCR (Sylvania?)
Funai DVD player (Symphonic)
Broksonic (CRT) TV
I recently also got a SV2000 DVD recorder/VCR combo. The two Funai remotes above appears to just about be able to control all the functions of the combo - having just one but not the other I'm missing half the features of the SV2000... The irrecord output looks a little weird and not sure if they actually can be combined into one file - which is weird as both remotes can power the device, yet the file looks very different for the representation for the power button... strange.
