You can change the list of search terms for the user 'steev', for example, by editing the file /usr/local/minerva/etc/users/steev/tvsearch/list. This should be a comma-separated list of terms. Leave this blank to get a list of all the programmes on TV. If you include a file in this directory called email then this list will also be emailed the user specified in the file.

Only Minerva users can receive TV guides, so ensure the user exists in /usr/local/minerva/etc/users. New users can be added with the addminervauser command. After adding a new user you must re-build the web components for the Minerva applet, and manually start a search. This is done by running the commands,

~minerva/conf/tv/make_web.sh
~minerva/update/tv/process_searches.sh

The configuration files are ultimated stored in /var/www/minerva/warp/conf/tvguide and are all generated automatically by the scripts above. You should never need to alter these.

Dependencies: xsltproc

Future Plans: Integration with the Minerva TV server to automatically record the selected shows.

The left hand side displays a list of the current directories, with a play button to play all files in that directory. The right hand side shows the files in the current directory, and by clicking on them will play that specific file, and (if left) all those after it. You can forward through this list, but not backwards prior to the first song played. If an MP3 is playing, the track information (album and artist, if given in the MP3) will appear below, in addition to the control gadgets.

Only files beneath the specified root directory will be visible. This can be set by constructing the applet appropriately. i.e.

$app = new Warp_MP3Play_Applet("MP3Player", "/media/mp3/");

in the originating PHP file.

Dependencies: mplayer or mpg123, mp3info

Future Plans: Upgrade its functionality with playlists to make it a fully fledged MP3 jukebox.

Known bugs: Directory names will not work correctly if they are invalid in an HTTP GET request. You can not move to the 'next' MP3 specified when the Linux user requesting it differs from who initiated it.

You must start VLC on the server mentioned in the vlc.conf file thusly,

vlc --sout='#standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=192.168.1.1:8080}' 
   /media/video/cc/cenobitic.mpg

Replacing the dst= part with the real address and port to which your clients will be listening, and the filename with your actual file.

VLC also allows you stream the output from your TV card directly across the Internet. Consequently, you can plug your CCTV camera into the composite socket and use VLC as a remote viewing station.

Dependencies: vlc. Clients may need the VLC browser plugin. Windows VLC plugin
