This new feature lets you control Minerva, using the "Universal remote control" app.
Get the "Universal Remote Control" app:
For this to work, you need to prepare a script on your server, and route each command through to the appropriate appliance.
The current version of Minerva supplies this script as standard.
To see the data the URC returns, you can use this:
<?php print_r($_GET); ?>The arguments will generally be:
The command will be in the format:
command=menu.[index].region.[icon_reference].index.[position_on_screen]
I'll admit the video is not overly exciting, but it covers the basics of preparation, and function.
<homeremote>
<menu>
<button text="TV"/>
<button icon="20"/>
<button icon="19"/>
<button icon="35"/>
<button icon="36"/>
<button menu="1"/>
The indentation is a mneumonic to indicate the horizontal lines of 6 icons. By including an element with an 'icon' attribute it becomes a button. Using a 'menu' attribute causes the '...' button to be drawn, and it navigates to the specific menu. (Counting from 0 for the home page.)
As you'd expect, using the 'text' attribute displays no button, just the text.
