Does our nexus 5 supports IR transmitter over P2 (3.5mm) ?

You mean 3.5" audio jack? Yes it was working with myremoconx app and a selfmade jack to IR adapter. But sadly after I updated to cm13 it s no more working,and I don't know why. I can see the led blinking when I try to press a button (using a camera...I can see infrared,I m not a superhuman),but my TV doesn't react as when I had cm12.1. It could be something caused by audio latency? Or something else? I tried many times but can't find an answer. I only know that it was working great,I even build my own ultra small jack to ir adapter ,big no more than 3 mm over the plug ( I used smd ir LEDs) . And one month ago I received from China a device that is made for iPhone and it s small like the one I build but with on and off function,so you can keep it connected every time,led light power is even stronger than my diy project. Now to bypass the problem I ordered from China a zazaremote microusb to ir ,but I don't t know if it could work on nexus 5 (almost sure it will work) ,and sadly it s bigger than the other options...
Are there anyone interested in investigation about the problem

Let me know something, I m interested, because it was very useful to me,and maybe to someone else. The USB device can even clone a remote from what I understand, but the last one I bought or the one made by myself are more portable, you can leave it attached to the headphones socket.As you can see in the picture if you rotate the device inside the socket,it turns off or on

Can you guys post a link if you buy one and it is working in order for us to avoid non working products?

Thanks
I bought one of this, and I can see the ir leds working trough a camera (cm13 + my remoconx app) , like on the one I build. But for some strange reason before the update from cm12 to cm13 ,the two devices are no more switching channels

Which apps can be used with this device?

Zazaremote app and his micro USB device are working great... You can even clone a remote from the original,and create a mixed one. You can find it in aliexpress for cheap. This is the best devide I could find, forget about the audio to IR devices , you will not regret

i would but in the current political-economical situation of my country(Brazil) i can only buy from local sellers, and those only have the 3.5mm one(which was already hard to find).
zazaremote i found for about 10 bucks on aliexpress, however due to inflantion ,taxes, import taxes and conversion $-R$ i would literally pay more than 50 USD, in comparsion the p2 one i bought is 8 USD with 1 week shipping, currently awaiting it (there has been some holidays, i expect to get it next monday)
there is also the 3+ month waiting from aliexpress

I paid only 10$ for 2 pieces, one for me and one for my brother. We bought many jack to ir receivers and the best ones are the self made mine,and the iPhone one. Please let me know if you can make it work. With cm12 and nexus 5 was working great but after cm13 it doesn't work no more.The or one lack the clone features but it s more portable, and you can leave it inserted every time.

I got mine yesterday, paid around $7 for it with shipping on eBay. Works great. The ability to diy a remote by cloning the signal is priceless.

Now, besides the (...) option on the diy, how can you fit so many buttons for so many things on the screen? Or do you only create a power button?

How does nex look like with Zazaremote..to big..easy to carry...please help with pics..!!

Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have it and I wouldn't carry the Nex with the remote attached as you could potentially damage the charging port. The remote itself doesn't fit properly with my spigen case on it, I'm sure the same applies to other cases. Love the diy remote learning feature though.
