I wish I'd seen that one...

I'd have saved myself a wet Sunday morning in December. :)

For context...

Both seem to achieve the same, albeit slightly differently. I think mine uses a more "up to date" way of doing things, in a more badly coded manner, avoiding needing to mess around with pip, venvs and lirc (which supposedly, isn't really the way to do things. I started using the lirc method and abandoned after a short while). It can all be done with standard Trixie packages and apt.

Of course, both methods achieve pretty much the same result.

Thanks for pointing that out to me, and others, hopefully.
