IR Blast

IR Blast is for blasting IR commands from the command line.

But really IR Blast is to interface with other software that can launch external applications for IR Blasting.

Usage: IRBlast -host {server} [-port x] [-pad x] [-channel] [-delay x] {commands}

• Use -host to specify the computer that is hosting the IR Server.
• Use -port to blast to a particular blaster port (optional).
• Use -channel to tell IR Blast to break apart the following IR Command and use each digit for a separate IR blast (optional).
• Use -delay to specify a time in milliseconds to delay between each command or digit in a channel number (Optional).
• Use -pad to tell IR Blast to pad channel numbers to a certain length (Optional, Requires -channel).
• Use a tilde ~ between commands to insert half second pauses.
   

Examples:

IRBlast -host HTPC TV_Power.IR

This would blast the TV_Power.IR command on the HTPC computer to the default blaster port.

IRBlast -host MEDIAPC -port Port_2

"Turn on surround.IR" This would blast the "Turn on surround.IR" command on the MEDIAPC computer to blaster port 2.

IRBlast -host HTPC -pad 4 -channel 302

This would blast the 3.IR, 0.IR, and 2.IR commands on the HTPC computer to the default blaster port.

There is also a windowless version of IR Blast in the same folder as "IRBlast.exe" called "IRBlast-NoWindow.exe"

IR Blast (No Window) uses the exact same command line parameters as IRBlast, but when called from another application it will not create a command prompt window.
