reworked most of the UI
added a third row of custom buttons (a total of 54 now)
fixed some minor bugs
custom button names are auto-set now if “-/-” or blank
added a colour parameter to the custom buttons – set it in the Command Builder dialog
removed some buttons from the UI – those functions are in the menus
As [...]
Just uploaded a new version of OyRemote with some requested features added.
PAUSE (in ms) command added – certain actions take the receiver longer to react to than the standard Batch Delay time, so you can add some extra delay here
Added Title/Artist/Album info to network controls – this will show ID3 tags, Internet Radio stations etc.
Some [...]
Finally got around to write a basic manual for OyRemote, based on v0.14. Hope it helps.
Using XML file now instead of registry to store config data. This is to make it for portable and easier to edit for users (although some would argue the registry is easier, but it’s easier to break your system by fiddling with the registry, so…)
Input Device IDs and labels can be changed via the XML [...]
Because it was a popular request to send commands to the receiver via the command line (e.g. to automate certain tasks, schedule them to run at certain times etc.), and because OyRemote relies quite heavily on the GUI, I have decided to fork of a quick command line version of OyRemote, OyRemoteCL. It’s very straight [...]
Loads of improvements (at least I think so). Should be more stable too. Made a lot of changes under the hood, so there is a good chance that new bugs have been introduced too. Please let me know!
Next step is to finish writing the manual.
Ooph. I don’t even know where to begin, so many ideas, so little time. I’m currently working on a Command Builder interface that will let you select commands from a list of all available commands for all zones. You can then assign these selections to custom buttons or the batch commands.
I’m trying to decide whether [...]
Due to a small but nasty bug I broke the Listening Mode store buttons. These should work again.
There’s also a new feature where when you click into the small textbox next to the cursor buttons, the keyboard cursor keys + return + backspace are recognised and sent to the receiver as button clicks. Makes navigating [...]
A new version of OyRemote is done. I’ve rewritten large parts of the application. The entire network code is redone, as are large parts of the UI code. Listening Mode shortcuts are now fully configurable for example, and the backchannel from the receiver is working quite well too. If you have a network ready Onkyo [...]
So I’ve bitten the bullet and bought a new AV Receive, an Onkyo TX-NR1007. Amongst other things, it is can be controlled via both RS-232 and Network (using more or less the same protocol). So instead of actually testing the receiver, I’ve spent most my time so far writing an application to control it from [...]
