I am trying to build a remote control application to control media on my Ubuntu. Does anyone know a way in order to accomplish this. The media keys in particular.

Thank you.

EDIT 1:

I have tried using XTE, but is seems python in truncating the input or there is a limit or something which means that you can't do Ctrl + Key key presses, which wont suit my needs.

I also tried uinput, but alas you need to run it as root, which also will not quite my needs.

Now I am looking at EVDEV which seems promicing, that is if I can get it working.
