Can you emulate common TV IR blaster protocols without first recording them?

I used to have an LG G4 android phone with a TV remote app built in- with just the TV manufacturer information, I could change the channel / volume in all sorts of useful places (the gym, etc.). I miss this feature often.

Yep:

"Flipper Zero has a built-in library of signals for common TVs, ACs, projectors, and stereo systems brands. This library is regularly updated with new signals, thanks to the Flipper Zero community's active contributions to the IR Remote database."

(from the flipper zero homepage)

I've successfully used mine as a "TVbGone", switching off all the TVs in a bar...

Thank you, and sorry for being so blind. I think this is enough to sell me on one!

For God knows why reason, the original PSPs used to come with an IR LED. I put a homebrew program on my PSP that let you control it, and fed it a txt file with thousands of TV IR codes. What a blast!
