Remote control via web - draio - 04-18-2008 02:22 PM

This is a just a test for a web based remote control.
Create a file called webcontrol.php in /mnt/syb8634/web and go to http://YourPCHaddress:8088/webremote.php

I hope this will be useful or just interesting for someone...

Note: I have some problem with the "enter" command... probably i didn't find the correct "key".

That's awesome, draio! How did you determine the keycodes that you determined (for the cursor keys, for example)? They don't seem to bear any relationship to the codes shown on the NMT Wiki (Where do I find the remote control codes for Popcorn hour?) for the remote.

How can I do this without mounting the HD in a computer?

Wow-, amazing! thanks this has given me a few ideas to play around with

Cool!

By using the information from this we can actually create a plugin like the "play on XBMC" where you click on a link and automatically send it to your PCH like:

"http://"+xboxIP+"/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=playfile&parameter="+theLink,true

Where we open up our own php page that redirect mono and sends play to mono.

Owl: Now you can create your ipod touch remote control!

I was thinking of replacing /tmp/irkey with /tmp/usbkbdpipe but no success. May be I do not know right codes.
Tracking write to this files could help discovering codes.

"13" seems to be the "Return" key.

Hi all,
i got inspired by this thread, by the MediatankController
and also frustrated by the fact that there is no adobe air for windows mobile.
so i created a little webpage and implemented the basic functions.

Instruction:just copy both webremote.jpg and webremote.php into
/mnt/syb8634/web/
and point your browser to
http://your-popcorn-ip:8088/webremote.php
to get this image: (most buttons work already) Smile
[Image: webremote.jpg]
sorry Niels, i stole your image Smile

however there are still some bugs:
- i have a strange behavior with the OK-button while i am in a subfolder,
sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. (same problem as draio has i suppose)
using just the keycodes seems not to be enough, but i have not figured out yet where the problem is. ideas anyone?
