I noticed something about a “remote control” feature in the multimedia
player’s properties. What does this do and how can I use it? I tried
my Lirc device on it with no luck. I am assuming it is sometype of
serial device like that.
All I want is some software that will display an mp3 playlist and let me
scroll through and jump to songs without using a mouse (keyboard or IR
remote). Is there any other software that will do this without using the
X or Gnome libs?
Also are there any kind of “trippy” visulation plungins for the mp3
player.
The remote control interface is for the Sigma Designs remote control
interface.
You will find a binary called mvremote that gets exec’d if you check this
box.
This device is a serial remote. I’m sure you can find it on the web page.
The problem is you can’t tell the remote from a mouse in any way so
it is problematic at startup. Truely this interface is a message pass
and a guy a work wrote a phab app for a web pad that just sends this
message. You could write something cool this way. Note I will add the
definitions for the Phplay Remote Interface into the next rev of the
Multimedia Programmers Guide.
Thanks for the feedback

Note the phplay hotkeys support next and previous track. The mp3 playlist
is displayed in both the active playlist dialog and the playlist editor.
I assume you mean the spectral display that shows the by band
amplitude like in XMMS when you say “trippy”. For this one, not
yet but everybody is asking for it.

Thanks for the reply. That remote is attractive because of the very low
price. When the box is checked for remote, it says “mvremote not found”
It’s no big deal because I am looking for the ability to jump to specific song
in the playlist, and the ability to scroll ahead/back in increments of 10
and 100.
After reading the mutlimedia programmer’s guide I think I won’t have any
problems writing an app for my needs. My project is on hold because I am
waiting for the driver for the M-Systems DiskOnChip 2000 flash drive drivers.
