Thema: How to make macro command with remote control ?

Hello,
I want to assign 2 functions to my remote control.
1 Swap pip
followed by
1 close pip

But If can't assign a serie of 2 functions to hotkey

I searched functions of remote control to find PIP and swap PIP

I used the cmd function in windows and type
curl -u root:passwd http://IP_of_my_Vu:80/web/remotecontrol?command=##
where ## is a number
You can find the list in attachment It's more complete than list I found in forum

The pip function is 64 but if you send the command twice you have pip zap
and there is no function swap pip

In old post someone used multiquickbutton but I don't found this plugin working with openATV 6.4

May be it's possible to create a plugin called by hotkey but I don't know how to do

Do you have a solution ?
Thank you

hi,

yes this is possible with hotkey, for that you need to know the key_ids which you can found here;
enigma2/keyids.py at 6.4 . openatv/enigma2 . GitHub

as example;
if you want to start a plugin with name mediaplayer and this plugin you found on your box under menu -> plugins (if plugins is the first entry in menu) and here as the third entry from above is the plugin mediaplayer then you can start this as macro in a script as following;

Code:

#!/bin/bash 

## Variablen ##
BOXIP=http://localhost
WGET=/usr/bin/wget
TMP=/tmp
LOGFILE=$TMP/pip_macro.log

exec 3>&1 4>&2
trap 'exec 2>&4 1>&3' 0 1 2 3
exec 1>$LOGFILE 2>&1

# close the first window automatically, you didn't need it.
$WGET -q -O - $BOXIP/web/remotecontrol?command=174

# it's the same as you press the menu button on your rc.
$WGET -q -O - $BOXIP/web/remotecontrol?command=139
sleep 1

# it's the same as you press the ok button on your rc.
$WGET -q -O - $BOXIP/web/remotecontrol?command=352
sleep 1

# it's the same as you press the curser (down) button two times on your rc.
$WGET -q -O - $BOXIP/web/remotecontrol?command=108
$WGET -q -O - $BOXIP/web/remotecontrol?command=108

# it's the same as you press the ok button on your rc.
$WGET -q -O - $BOXIP/web/remotecontrol?command=352

exit

name the script test.sh put it on your box to the directory /usr/script and make it executable with the following telnet or ssh command;

Code:

chmod 755 /usr/script/test.sh

and at last put it on a key with hotkey and start it, then you can see how it works.
in this case it starts only the third plugin from above which is under menu -> plugins (if plugins is the first entry under menu)
otherwise if plugins is not the first entry under menu it opens a setting or whatever you have under menu -> first entry -> third entry


This is only a example, if you can start swap pip by a shorter way you can use the key_ids for this shorter way too.

Zitat from "houbahop"
The pip function is 64 but if you send the command twice you have pip zap
and there is no function swap pip

maybe a timing problem and a sleep between the commands can help.

change it to;
#!/bin/sh

and hopefully you write this script with a linux compatible editor as example with notepad++
otherwise write it new with a linux compatible editor or use dos2unix to fix the script which was written with a windows editor

which image do you have - openatv ?
