Hi,
there is an update for the remote control plugin.
History: -------- 2007-10-06: Version 0.4.0 - Implemented gettext support for VDR >= 1.5.7, i18n is still used for older vdr releases. - If supported by udev, an input device can be selected by pci slot now. For example: vdr -P"remote -i /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:02:06.0--event-ir" (Thanks to Joachim Selinger for suggesting to add this feature.)
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
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/ir' is used.
vdr -P"remote -i /dev/input/event2" use specified input device '/dev/input/event2'
vdr -P"remote -i /dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:02:06.0--event-ir" select input device by pci slot (udev support required)
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
