The following page has been changed by 62.127.12.35: http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/DocumentationPage ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ @@ -221,6 +221,24 @@ In newer versions of freevo (>1.32-pre2) the rc_client/youremote.py files are not used anymore, but a configuration file which is /etc/freevo/lircrc by default. the syntax is different, but you can use the helpers/freevo2lirc.pl script to convert rc_client/yourremote.py to a lircrc file. +=== Bluetooth Remote Controll deamon === + +This is a small deamon that let's you controll Freevo with your cellphone. It's currently placed under contrib/, and if you want to use it you might want to change the source a bit, depending on what kind of phone you have. If you got a Ericsson T68 you should be happy with the current settings. (It's a bit akward but it works, the phone it was tested with had some semi-operational buttons; they only worked from time to time.) + +Requirements: + * A Bluetooth phone, a Bluetooth dongle. The phone should be able to receive AT (Hayes) commands, and it must have a certain command that sends all keypad events to the computer. + * The Bluetooth Subsystem (kernel) + * Bluez-utils (and it's deps, http://bluez.sf.net) + +When you get all that, and are sure it's working you should set a serial port on your phone to "/dev/bluetooth/rfcomm/1" with rfcomm. It was tricky with a patched kernel so I recommend the 2.4.21 kernel, which has the bluetooth subsytem by default. + +Make sure you enable support for the network control in local_conf.py, otherwise Freevo won't receive any commands and you should get an error from the deamon. The port is changed to 35000 in the deamon which isn't the default port for the network remote function. +I made an init-script to start the bluetooth interface (hciconfig) and rfcomm. This script also starts the deamon, which I also recommend you to do. + +The deamon seem to disconnect after a while, solutions to that is welcome. + +If you need any help you can find my email adress in the deamon source. + === Video game emulators === See the /GameEmulators page. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
