After using MythTV through several years, I've ended up wit h a system with several Frontends. And with several FE there will be several remotes lying all over. So instead I've search the internet and found this wonderful APP for my new Blackberry. In late 2010 I bought an Blackberry Torch 9800 (with touchscreen) and hoping using this phone for almost everything in the future about MythTV.
The freemote APP are available through APPworld on the Blackberry ( Or Iphone), but I recommand using the direct download on the website - mostly becarse there's the newest version always available - Carse when I installed the APP - the version in APPworld was 0.99 and the one from the website was 1.01 - so getting the newest APP should be a must.
Just open the browser on the phone and go to http://www.accentual.com/freemote/download.htmland download the APP. Follow the instructions on the screen to install it all. And thats it - for the Phone part rigth now.

wget http://www.accentual.com/freemote/releases/freemoted/freemoted-src-1.03.tar.gz |
This will actually install the program and place the files here /usr/local/bin/freemoted and /usr/local/etc/freemote.conf, so calling the binary file will start the server. Normally you can call the service directly in console - But after playing around with this for a while - I discover that the server was closed - becarse of the remote deskop..... So the command I've putted in /etc/rc.local - looks like this:
|
freemoted -t socket -m nodesktop -m lirc |
So this command gets executed at each boot time - allthough I thinking of making my own package for ArchLinux instead. But afterwards I've no remote lying around in the house for each TV - just using my Blackberry :-)
