About:
Flirc is a utility for programming USB infrared receivers to control media center applications and other software. It captures IR signals from any remote and maps them to keyboard keys or specific commands, providing a universal control solution. This tool is essential for users building HTPC setups who want to use their existing hardware remotes with software like Kodi or Plex.

Key Features:

- Simple graphical user interface for key mapping
- Supports advanced features like combo keys and macros
- Cross-platform software support
|
Use Cases:
