WifiRemote - a tcp remote control server 0.8.3 [2014-07-20] (18 Viewers)

When you use the WifiRemote Plugin under Mediaportal 1.4 pre Release you get a bug. When you open a saved Playlist the loading boar does not diaspear. And it only happens when your plugin is enable.

Hi I want to use iRule to control mepo with wifiremote. iRule supports ip or http and works great with the xbmc json capability. I would like to start simple and just inject commands and receive some simple feedback on now playing etc. What is required to for ip eg here is the command for xbmc json

jsonrpc?request=%7B%22jsonrpc%22%3A%222.0%22%2C%22method%22%3A%22Input.Back%22%2C%22id%22%3A1%7D
This works in irule for xbmc. give protocol is similar

what formating would work for wifiremote for json command as follows would this require
http://<ipaddress:port for wifiremote>/jsonrpc?request=


{
2 "Type":"key",
3 "Key":"h"
4
}

Hi rickd,

WifiRemote is using a direct socket connection between client and server, not the HTTP protocol used by other webservices. This allows us to have an open connection between server and clients without any tricks, so we can deliver information and commands in both directions without polling and the like.

So the short answer is you can't just call an URL and be done with it. Please have a look at the wiki (commands and messages) and at the DemoClient (written in c#). That should get you going. Feel free to ask any questions or to extend the wiki if it lacks any information you find interesting.

Thanks so all i need to do is setup my ip addresss and port for wifi remote and then send ip stream for a command once a connection is made like :


{"Type":"key",
"Key":"h"}

or in iRule context converts to URL encode

%7B%22Type%22%3A%22key%22%2C%0D%22Key%22%3A%22h%22%7D%0D

Will need to install 1.5 and have a look.

Hi guys, how can I start a cable Radio channel?

the id is 1253!
new MessageStartChannel(1253,false) don't work but all other works fine

Not sure if it's included in latest release or only in SVN, but you should be able to start a radio channel(both TV-card or web-channel) with

{Type:"playradiochannel", ChannelId:id}

Hi.
I dont know if this is an issue through your plugin or a issue from mpextended or ps++. Here you can read about my problem and there are also logs.
