Summary
ivtv-channel is an utility to change channels with a remote control. It is designed to work along with Lirc. It is very useful for watching ivtv in standalone applications such as VLC or MPlayer.
Requirements
- Python >= 2.4
- Ivtv utilities >= 0.4
As far as I know it's compatible all the way back to 0.4, either way, it detects the major API change in 0.8 and works automatically across all recent versions.
Download
The latest version of the script can be downloaded from the link below:
Only tagged (final) released versions should be used, but the trunk development version is also available in that repository.
An RSS feed of releases can be found at the link below:
Install
Save ivtv-channel.py to a folder in your current environment path and ensure it has execute permissions:
cd /usr/bin/ wget --no-check-certificate https://www.jardinpresente.com.ar/svn/utiles/tags/scripts/ivtv-channel/0.5.2.1/ivtv-channel.py chmod +x ivtv-channel.py
Lirc
Note: Fedora Core 7's init script for Lirc will automatically launch irexec if the /etc/irexec.conf file exists.
Create the /etc/irexec.conf file and then copy the sample configuration below into this file:
vi /etc/irexec.conf
Note: Make sure the button names match with those specific to your remote's configuration. (See Config Below)
# The following is an example into how to integrate this script with Lirc. #-------------------------------------------------- # File: /etc/irexec.conf (This works with the '''Hauppage 150 Silver & Black Remote''') #-------------------------------------------------- begin button = Ch+ prog = irexec config = ivtv-channel.py up end begin button = Ch- prog = irexec config = ivtv-channel.py down end begin button = OK prog = irexec config = ivtv-channel.py enter end begin button = Prev.Ch prog = irexec config = ivtv-channel.py last end begin button = 0 prog = irexec config = ivtv-channel.py 0 & end begin button = 1 prog = irexec config = ivtv-channel.py 1 & end begin button = 2 prog = irexec config = ivtv-channel.py 2 & end begin button = 3 prog = irexec config = ivtv-channel.py 3 & end begin button = 4 prog = irexec config = ivtv-channel.py 4 & end begin button = 5 prog = irexec config = ivtv-channel.py 5 & end begin button = 6 prog = irexec config = ivtv-channel.py 6 & end begin button = 7 prog = irexec config = ivtv-channel.py 7 & end begin button = 8 prog = ireec config = ivtv-channel.py 8 & end begin button = 9 prog = irexec config = ivtv-channel.py 9 & end
Standalone Usage
