Basic EyeTV Control from PiaF

[jpe]

Here is something i pilfered and prodded during the Haiti relief show. It works, but it is dog slow on my system. Takes 20 seconds to respond. I am prolly doing something wrong. I pretty much photoshopped the whole thing. You will need a Cepstral voice to use this properly. You will also have to make a sound file for the menu.

Noobs like me should be able to get a grip of whats going on looking at the code.
One of you Guru's will hack it up some more and make it so channel numbers can be entered and "record for 30 minutes" commands can be implemented.


Create control file
We need to make a file that translates into the apple events for the mac.
Create a text file and copy the stuff below into it.

            esac
done

Save it to your EyeTV Mac desktop as 'eyetv'

Copy File to Proper Location
Open up the app 'Terminal' on the Mac
Switch to root -

sudo su

Enter your password (user password)
Enter the following commands to copy the file to the right place.

cd Desktop
cp eyetv /bin/eyetv
chmod +x /bin/eyetv

You should now be able to control EyeTV from the Terminal. Test it by entering the command to play/pause

eyetv playpause

Set Up SSH
if you don't know the ip address for your mac enter the following command in Terminal

ifconfig

look for "en0" then "inet" that should be your ip address. (or "en1). Write that down.

Or go into System Preferences/Network and look it up on the interface your using.

Now log into your asterisk box command line as root.
Now switch to the asterisk user.

su asterisk

Now enter

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Hit return three times. Use default location, no passphrase
Copy the public key file to the Mac with EyeTV. Replace 'username' with your mac username and '192.168.1.100' with the mac's ip address (what you wrote down earlier)

scp /var/lib/asterisk/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [COLOR=DarkRed][B][I]username[/I][/B][/COLOR]@[COLOR=DarkRed][B][I]192.168.1.100[/I][/B][/COLOR]:/Users/[COLOR=DarkRed][B][I]username[/I][/B][/COLOR]/.ssh/authorized_keys

Setup Dialplan
Now log into the Admin web page and go to Config Edit.
Open up 'extensions_custom.conf' and scroll to the bottom.
Paste below in

Make sure to change user=Username and eyetvhost=192.168.1.100 (marked changeme) above.

Save and hit 'Re-Read Configs'

Setup Extension
Now Navigate to the "Custom Destinatioins' Module under the Tools section.
Add a Custom Destination -

Custom Destination: eyetv-control,s,1
Description: EyeTV Control (or whatever you want)

Now navigate to "Misc Application" under Setup.
add Misc Application - Description ETV Remote (or whatever you want)

Feature Code: 393 (eye (or whatever you want))
Destination: Custom Destination: EyeTV Control (or whatever you named it)

After that you should be good to go.

Dial 393 (or whatever you used) and try it out.
Controls
The controls are
1 - Full Screen
2 - Volume Up
3 - Exit Full Screen
4 - Channel Down
5 - Play/Pause
6 - Channel Up
7 - Not Used
8 - Volume Down
9 - Not Used
0 - Mute
* - Start Recording
# - Stop Recording
