IR and SLIMP3



Those of you who have a SLIMP3 player have possibly thought about using the
IR in a couple of different ways so as to reduce the number of remotes
around the house.

SCENARIO 1
The idea is to place a slimp3 in every room and use that as a general IR
receiver rather than having an additional standalone IR receiver in
every room. So is there a way to get the IR codes off the SLIMP3 server and
on to a more conventional IR gateway/distribution system.

SCENARIO 2
A different approach would simply be to NOT use the SLIMP3's IR reciever at
all, and use instead a standard whole house IR distribution system. In this
'mode' you would need to get the IR codes from the IR distribution system
into SLIMP3. Is there a way to do this without sticking an emitter onto the
front on the beautiful SLIMP3 player?
