Gaya remote control
Is it possible in some way to remotely control gaya (the GUI shown on PCH)??
This would be great.. |

I have sketched on a client/server solution for the NMT players which invokes the mono player directly without using gaya. playback should be initiated from a client browsing all available media on the NMT... I am thinking of implementing a client for the iPod Touch and the SonyEricsson UIQ 3.0 Symbian based cellphones via WLAN. Think: A list of all the movies on the NMT... tap one of them, and the NMT starts playing. the UI on the client changes to "playback controls" .... when you press stop or the movie ends, the controls changes back to the browse list... If I get the time I will start up a project page, free for other to join... and we will realize this, if enough interest exists! Regards // OwL |

My experiments with mono makes gaya go crazy and then I'll have to reboot my PCH..
Have you managed to invoke mono and still have gaya working? |

I have only enabled telnetd yesterday, and had a look around.... looked at the commandline switches for mono (there are PLENTY) I didn't try mono out yet.... maybe Ill get some time for it tonight... ![]() But feel free to post in this thread, if you find something out!

I cannot get mono to work well with any apps that own the frame buffer. I just killall gaya to play from the command
- I'm more interested in the mono's undocumented options -delay -audio -playlist -single -bgimg Of course mono isn't the only player for video amp_test is VERY interesting and play_asf_streaming for me not so much. Martin |

Syabas: Is it possible to open gaya for external commands? I'll like to interface with gaya over a socket or similar to get it to open specific files and even remote control my PCH.
There are two file-pipes in /tmp what is the purpose of them? |

I just killall gaya to play from the command You can see an example of -single, -audio and -bgimg by opening an audio file from gaya and checking mono's command line args with 'ps'. My guess is -playlist is just for vod='playlist' links, although I haven't seen it. |

You will see playlist with internet radio for sure. I can most of them now, but I want to know I'm doing and I'm especially interested in using them from my own app.

Dont know exactly how gaya is controlled in the first place since I havent actually recieved my PCH yet and I am new to this forum.. But how is the ir commands translated? I mean do they use lircd or what? In case syabas doesnt have an answer one way to go would be to hijack the remote reciever dev and send messages through that.. It has been done with lircd so I know it could work in theory.. |

While ir works for custom remote controls like the Pronto and even some pc's and mobile phones, it wouldn't work with WLAN devices like iPhone/iTouch, eeePC etc. that lack ir capability. Sure, it could be added on to them too, but at an expense in various dimensions. I figure mobile phones and pc's have quite a weak ir signal generally, or is it the same oomph in them as standard ir remote control equipment?
On a PC/Mac you'd have the issue of the ir port being located from a strange angle. But remote control via tcp/ip over a WLAN would allow for more freedom; You could be at a remote place (in the loo, at work, in the kitchen, wherever) to schedule a recording, change a torrent dl, browse the media directory, pausing/starting the unit etc. This also means the PCH can be stashed away completely; good for those who want a really clean layout around the TV/projector area, or have an HDD inside and don't have to worry about noise issues. The sky's the limit! (read: available network is the limit).

I figure mobile phones and pc's have quite a weak ir signal generally, or is it the same oomph in them as standard ir remote control equipment? If that was directed to me I didnt mean to use IR comm. But to hijack the software device inside the OS that the gaya frontend listens to for commands. What then generates the commands is up to the programmer.. tcp/ip, bluetooth whatever.. In other words your server software hijacks the software device.. And regarding IR on phones its true.. They use a IrDA transmitter wich has higher throughput but alot less outputpower.. It probably also has a smaller transmission angle.. So no.. IrDA on phones and those kinds of devices wouldnt make a good remote.. (And by the way a ton of apps alreade exists to emulate remote commands from phones so if that was what you wanted that solution already exists) edit: Allthough since you are emulating the remote commands you would still probably have to see the tv since up/down play and so on generally would need you to see what you are doing.. =) Another thing would possibly be to port VNC or somthing similar, then you would be able to accuratly control you NMT from anywhare.. (I think clients already exists for symbian and and a bunch of other OS:s). Allthough I dont think that would be a particularly great solution since you would have to scroll through a 1080p (or whatever) framesize on your phone.. Another device I have lets me control it through the webinterface.. Perhaps a similar solution could be utilized here? But that would probably require custom commands too... |

Yes, there's a /dev/lircd
/dev # cat /var/run/lircd Dec 31 17:00:25 uclibc lircd 0.6.6: /dev/input/event0 USB KB init failed Dec 31 17:00:25 uclibc lircd 0.6.6: lircd ready Jan 1 01:01:33 uclibc lircd 0.6.6: accepted new client on /dev/lircd Jan 1 01:05:33 uclibc lircd 0.6.6: accepted new client on /dev/lircd (I got my unit in mid-january) Audio, video, disco - I hear, I see, I learn.

(I think clients already exists for symbian and and a bunch of other OS Why VNC!? We have telnet that is way better!!! But, we need the right commands how to control our devices.. Yes, dc11ab, we have lircd but we don't know how to interact with it.. So unless syabas helps us with that spec we will have some hard days o reverse engineer.. Got a new idea.. Perhaps we can emulate a usb keyboard over tcp, then everything shuld be easy to solve.. |

Yup, I saw that there's no /etc/lircd.conf waiting to be inspected...
