hello all ,

Dorian Scholtz has released (finally PyS60RemoteControl ...

PyS60RemoteControl allows you to remote control your PC with a Symbian
mobile phone with PyS60 via Bluetooth.


PyS60RemoteControl allows you to remote control your PC with a Symbian mobile phone with PyS60 via Bluetooth.

It uses plugins written in Python to control and display information about applications.
Further more it supports other remote control systems (i.e. Girder).

The following plugins are already avalaible, please contribute if you can:

- Mouse: mouse move and button control, continous screen capturing with zooming and rotation

- WinAMP: playback control and status display

- MediaPlayerClassic: playback control

- WindowsMediaPlayer: playback control

Nice,

I'll have a try since I'm doing the same kind of application ( for Linux ) in C++ and Java for 2 projects

Well done!

Hi,

I've installed everything, and when I run the script. I get the connection and the screen on my phone turns white, and doesn't do anything. I've left it for a couple minutes but nothing changes. How can I get the program to load?

Anyone gotten this working with WMP 11? I've got the mouse control working fine, but it looks like it loads the MediaPlayerClassic plugin for WMP 11. All commands then fail with a "could not find window" error. Anyone had any success getting this to work?

[andersnc]

If anyone's curious, just a reply from Dorian via SF:

"Sorry about the missing Windows Media Player menu entry. I just don't use the WMP, so I disabled the menu entry. But you couldn't have know that, since I haven't done enough documentation yet ;-)
Just open the 'PyS60RemoteControl.conf' and add the following line to the 'menu->structure' entry:
('Windows Media Player', 'plugin WindowsMediaPlayer'),
And you can just remove the WinAmp entry if you don't need it...

Both Media Player Plugins will also get playback status feedback on the phone very soon, just like the winamp plugin... "

Works fine for me now, should for the small handful of other folks that still use WMP too.

Hi!

I've just released version 0.1.1 ;-)
Not much has changed, but now you get status feedback from Media Player Classic. (WMP seems to be much harder to get feedback from... Since I'm not using it, someone else will have to do this. But the controls seem to work fine.)
And i've enabled WMP in the menu...

So check out the webpage for a feature desciption and please post feedback in the sourceforge forum:

Have fun

Dorian

That means your phone is not connected to the PC part of the application.
Make sure the 'PyS60RemoteControl.conf' has the right value for 'com_port' and the value 2 for 'verbose'! Start the PC script first and it should state something like this:

LOG: ('Connecting to serial port', '\\\\.\\COM13')
LOG: Configuration.load: ('loaded conf from file plugins/KeymapLearner.conf',)
LOG: Configuration.load: ('loaded conf from file skins/n73/Skin.conf',)
LOG: Configuration.load: ('loaded conf from file plugins/MediaPlayerClassic.conf',)
LOG: Configuration.load: ('loaded conf from file plugins/Mouse.conf',)
LOG: Configuration.load: ('loaded conf from file plugins/Winamp.conf',)
LOG: Configuration.load: ('loaded conf from file plugins/WindowsMediaPlayer.conf',)

When you start the script on the phone now it should switch from the white screen to the welcome screen after 1-2 seconds.
Now you've got a menu on the left softkey...

Hope that helps!
Cheers
Dorian

I have released a new version of my PyS60RemoteControl using the G2 patched version of PyS60 1.3.18. It has quite a lot new features and most importantly it has a greatly improved response time for screen updates!

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...roup_id=187900

Check it out and please give me some feedback!
Especially owners of 2nd edition phones, since I do not have one for testing...

Cheers
Dorian

Great, looking forward to playing around with this some more!

As an aside, I noticed that the phone's library files go into {c,e}:\Python\libs. However, {c,e}:\Python\lib is on the default library path for PyS60, so if you drop the library file in there instead, you can lose those three lines near the top of the phone script. Functionally, it doesn't matter, but for folks (like me) that have other library files in Python\lib, I prefer to keep them all in one spot.

Awesome application though, one of my favourite PyS60 projects.

[DorianScholz]

Thanks for that tipp!
(Why would I name the thing 'libs' if 'lib' is on the path??? stupid me ;-)

Hi and welcome to the Python discussion board.

Could you please describe, in detail, the steps you took to install it on your phone? I tried it on my N95 and didn't get errors, and the author said he tested it on an N73.

[samo05]

hello
thank you for answering
i followed the steps that have been described on the readme file.
i have installed all the software needed to do the configuration.
then i run the scrpit that i have found on the phone file from my mobile after connecting it to my PC.
