Hi,
exactly one year after the last one there is a new maintenance
release of the Remote Control plugin. No major changes.
History:
--------
2006-01-09: Version 0.3.4
- Fixed to compile with vdr 1.3.38+
- Added -fPIC to CXXFLAGS.
It can be downloaded from
http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/vdr/
See README for details.
Short description:
------------------
This plugin extends the remote control capabilities of vdr.
The following remote control devices are supported:
(a) linux input device driver ('/dev/input/eventX', X=0,1,2,...)
- built-in remote control port of the av711x-based DVB cards
(aka full-featured cards), e.g. DVB-S Nexus [1]
- remote control port of some budget cards, e.g. Nova-CI [2]
- other input devices (not tested, please report success!)
See file FAQ for a list of cards which have been reported to work.
(b) keyboard (tty driver): /dev/console, /dev/ttyX
(c) TCP connection (telnet)
(d) LIRC
Notes:
[1] supported by DVB and dvb-kernel
[2] supported by dvb-kernel only
Summary of command line options:
--------------------------------
-i dev, --input=dev select device which supports the /dev/input protocol
-l dev, --lirc=dev select LIRC device
-t dev, --tty=dev select terminal device
-T dev, --TTY=dev select terminal device with 'OSD'
-p tcp:n, --port=tcp:n select connection on tcp port <n>
Examples:
---------
vdr -Premote
vdr -P"remote -i autodetect"
Try to autodetect device '/dev/input/eventX' (X = 0,1,2,...).
If no device can be identified, '-i /dev/input/event0' is used.
vdr -P"remote -i /dev/input/event2"
use specified input device '/dev/input/event2'
vdr -P"remote -l /dev/lircd"
select LIRC remote control
vdr -P"remote -p tcp:3333"
wait for a telnet connection on tcp port 3333
(use 'telnet vdr 3333' to access this port)
vdr -P"remote -t /dev/tty10"
use terminal device without 'OSD'
vdr -P"remote -T /dev/tty10"
use terminal device with 'OSD'
vdr -P"remote -i autodetect -p tcp:3333 -t /dev/tty10"
use multiple devices
Have fun,
Oliver
