Introduction
Pierogi is a universal infra-red control application for Fremantle written in Qt.
The package is currently in Testing/Development.
More information on the package can be found...
Installation
As mentioned this package is currently in Testing/Development and not currently for normal users. The latest versions can be found in the Devel repository and can be installed using the N900 Application Manager (HAM).
Operation
For general operating instructions please read Pierogi Website
Filter By Device
- "Why does the filter by device, not being up a compatible keyset"
The filter by device feature is to try and utilize the compatible device data I've been slowly feeding in to Pierogi. It's going to take some time to build up a real database of what devices work with what keysets.
A list of the devices currently supported by Pierogi can be found on Pierogi Device Compatibility List Wiki
If you have a supported device, and don't see it on the list, please do go ahead and edit the Device Compatibility Wiki using the link above.
Non-Audio/Visual Keysets
At the moment there are a few keysets in Pierogi that are provided to control infra-red equipment other than Audio/Visual. Due to the way Pierogi keysets are laid out, these buttons my have functions other than there label description. A list of key mappings are:-

Bugs
When people find a keyset that works with their device. I would like to know
- Do all the buttons work?
- Are there missing buttons?
- Are there buttons swapped around?
I'd love to hear about it when a keyset does not perform as expected.

Requesting New Keysets
Pierogi's collection of keysets, while growing, is still far from complete. If you have a device you would like to see supported by Pierogi, the easiest way to do so would be to add it to the bottom of the Device Compatibility List mentioned above.
