KDE 4.1 - irkick gorn?

This is irritating because I use it to control kaffeine (I'm a gnome user really) and it works nicely.  Ok, I spent a little time this eveing hacking the pkgbuild for the kde3 version of kdeutils to just build irkick and it works but did I miss something in kde 4.1 that I could use instead?

Re: KDE 4.1 - irkick gorn?

I believe from googling that the kde4 version is in the pipeline.

http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-utils … 00069.html

Been trying to get the kdemod3 version working on kde4.1, with limited success.

I too used it with kaffeine

BTW, check out me-tv if you're using kaffeine for dvb

Irkick just sends dcop calls, you can do the same trough ~/.lircrc (in kde3 there was a little app "kdcop" which would list all the dcop calls for a given application...).

An example command:

        begin
                remote = MyRemote
                button = STOP
                prog   = irexec
                repeat = 0
                config = dcop kaffeine KaffeineIface stop
        end

You need to install an RTFM interface.

Dcop does not longer exists in Kde4. D-bus replaces the functionality of dcop.

You don't say. If they did it nicely it should be trivial to do the same thing.

    ...
    config = dbus-send --dest= ...
