Good morning, and thanks to all in advance who have some ideas how I can make my system better!
I have a 400 disc standalone dvd player that I would like to control via a computer using IR emitters. Essentially, I would like to set something up where I can scroll through jpeg pictures of movie covers, and when I see something I would like to watch, push a button with the mouse on the computer, and have it send a series of macro commands to my DVD player presumably using an IR emitter.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this? I've seen some IR emitters that are controlled by the computer, but (1) I haven't seen one yet with macro capability and (2) all the ones I've seen basically have a GUI of a remote control itself, which wouldn't allow me to select "play", for example, from the jpeg of the movie itself.
Any help appreciated greatly!
