remcon

This program was developed for a very specific problem. Let me describe a situation.

You have a pc, and you want to use it as a television. Simple, most channels have online live streams, right? That's good. But you want to watch from your bed, which is across the room, on the other corner. So every time you want to change the channel, adjust volume, or simply pause, you have to get up from bed. This is cumbersome.

That's where this program comes in. You can run this program (a REMote CONtrol) on your far-away pc (presumably through SSH or the like), and it'll take care of handling things like switching channels, toggling fullscreen, muting/unmuting, pausing etc. with a simple command.

Currently supported operations/commands:

• fst : Full Screen Toggle
• 'refresh' : refresh the page and enter fullscreen again.
• 'exit' : exit.

Only a few of the channels that I watch are really supported. Most of which are turkish channels. Feel free to mail me if you want a channel added.

Installation

Download the JAR

If you don't want/need to build the program yourself, just download the jar file from releases.

Building

Install dependancies from your distro's package manager (or wherever you can find them, if you're on windows):

• Clojure
• Leiningen
• Java Runtime Environment

Clone the repository:

git clone https://git.emin.software/haxala1r/remcon.git

Run it directly:

lein run

... or build an uberjar you can run anywhere with JRE installed: lein uberjar

Usage

Just run with java -jar:

    $ java -jar remcon-0.1.0-standalone.jar

If you want the program to use chrome instead, pass ch as a paramater.

After the program starts, you can type the name of a channel, and the program will switch to that channel. Or type some other command.
