Post subject: | instant view cam |
Whether viewing a video, a recording or listening to music, clicking a button on the remote switchs the screen to firefox with a view of a cam that is set up to a view down the driveway. Probably possible to do this with other programs but in my case I'm using zoneminder on another box. I've added a user with view only to zoneminder and use that with the script. After launching firefox manually I set the home page to what I want to view. In my case: http://<ip>/zm/index.php?view=watch&mid=5 On bootup firefox can be started in .fluxbox/apps or from the script. I've add it before the LinHES-run line. [startup] {/usr/bin/firefox} then I added after the LinHES-run line [startup] {/home/mythtv/zm.sh} zm.sh #!/bin/bash #`/usr/bin/firefox` sleep 20 WID=`xdotool search --title ZM` xdotool windowactivate $WID xdotool key Return sleep 5 #xdotool key alt+Home xdotool type --delay 1000 "<ZM-username>" xdotool key Tab xdotool type --delay 1000 "<ZM_password>" xdotool key Tab xdotool key Return xdotool key alt+Home sleep 1 xdotool key F11 sleep 3 xdotool key alt+Tab then setup the remote. I added: begin prog = irexec button = Pictures #try each below # config = xdotool key Alt+Escape # config = xdotool key Alt+Tab end On my mce remote I needed to use Alt+Escape as Alt+Tab only toggled between firefox windows, but on my streamzap remote I had to use Alt+Tab as Alt-Escape didn't work. And on the streamzap I assigned the button = BLUE. Not an elegant solution but it works for me on frontend only and master backend-frontend. The sleep times might need adjusting to allow the frontend to complete its launch. Also, I remember making some changes to firefox preferences. |
