Re: EventGhost for Android

timhoeck — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 22:40:40 -0000

You don't have an event setup, only a payload. This is why your event shows
up as 'Android.' - with an event setup, it would show something like
'Android.tvoff'.

You could do it one of two ways:

1) Setup an event called 'tvoff' and just act on that event (no payload)
2) Setup an event called 'tv' with a payload of 'off' or 'on'.

Re: Nexus One Emulator Skin

timhoeck — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 23:37:25 -0000

He,

It's fairly straightforward to create a skin..

Each version of the android platform comes with several default skins which
you can find located in the directories under
<android-sdk-base-directory>/platforms/android-X/skins. An android skin
consists of a single layout file referencing a number of image files. Check
out some of the default skins to get a grasp on what is going on...

First, Describe the parts of the skin. The default skin parts are portrait,
landscape, device details, and controls - this is done in the parts { }
section (you can even add your own parts, I believe). Be aware that some of
these are required. You might just want to change the background for
landscape/portrait/controls that will be used and also modify the device
display size for the appropriate device type (i.e. QVGA, HVGA, etc..)

Second, in the layouts { } section, you describe where everything goes with
size and x/y coordinates for each layout - portrait and landscape.

It takes a little playing around, if you mess something up, you might get
unexpected results or the emulator may not even start up. When you are
finished, make sure to copy your skin into each platform folder you will
want to use it for - platform/android-X/skins/

Re: ZodTTD makes PSX4Droid 3.0 free, claims Google booted him from Android Market

Re: PlayStation One games appear in Android Market, predictably restricted to Xperia Play (update)

timhoeck — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 17:16:46 -0000

It's all about the graphics, right?? Metal Gear Solid (1998) > Angry Birds (2009) :)

That said, it is pretty irritating that a) these are limited to xperia play (I thought devs can't limit to specific hardware, is Sony special?) and b) $6.38 is too much, especially if you have already purchased the game in previous instances.

Maybe if they released the wifi version first.. they would have had more apps from developers!

That is a good question, I have never used the iPhone/iPod app, however, I am able to use multiple Android devices using my app without issues. If you can provide some more information, maybe I can take a look into it - does your device work if the iPod app is closed out?

Hi Everyone,

I'm truly trying to get the update finished - lots to look forward to! There are a few crashing issues I have to sort out. I'm almost there, so hang in for a bit more!

Hi Dan,

The only "off" command would be "IRCODE STANDBY", you can do this by simply
connecting via telnet to port 31339, and passing the command, followed by a
return. That is, of course, assuming your daughter doesn't know how to turn
off the Network Remote Control :)

Thanks,
Tim

Hello,

The current version will allow you to add a Premiere DVR manually, so it
will work with some quirks. I am working to get an update out asap that has
a number of improvements including additional Premiere support.

If you have further questions, feel free to email me at timhoeck@gmail.com

Thanks!
Tim

Hi there,

Market errors typically are due to a poor or limited internet connection, or
issues with the market servers themselves. Unfortunately, I do not have
control over these issues.

Thanks,
Tim

I have an update in the works which will correct a lot of the typing issues.
The Premiere (and now even Series 3) supports direct input typing, so there
will not be a need on most screen to use the 'ouija' type method (which is
not always accurate). I'm hoping to have this update ready by this weekend.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi Kimba,

This is most likely one of two things:

- Your Tivo IP might have changed, try rescanning, or updating it manually.
You can find your Tivo IP address under Messages & Settings, Settings, Phone
& Network.

- Occasionally the Network Remote Control feature can stop working, try
disabling it, and re-enabling it - or restart your Tivo under Messages &
Settings, Restart or Reset System, Restart the Tivo Digital Media Recorder.

I have a new version that should be ready very soon that will correct a
number of issues with connection problems.

Hope this helps!

-Tim

Hi there,

/sdcard would be your L: drive when you plug it up to your computer. So it
should be 'L:\tivoremote\'

An example file would be:

L:\tivoremote\123.jpg

a) Make sure you use jpg, the currently published version doesn't supported
png's

b) You need to Unmount (disconnect safely) your device before the app can
read the files. If you unmount, and are still in the Channels screen, you
might need to exit the channel screen and go back in to see your logos.

Hope that helps!

Re: TivoRemote 1.5 Released

timhoeck — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 21:32:56 -0000

Hi there,

You are correct in the location and naming for the files. It should be:

/sdcard/tivoremote/123.jpg (for channel 123)

Make sure that you are using .jpg images, and make sure that if it is a
channel such as "12.1", you name the file "12.1.jpg"

Most likely the issue lies in the fact that you probably still have your
device connected via usb, with the sdcard mounted. If the sdcard is in use
by your computer, the system cannot load the files, so they will not show
up. Make sure you have disconnected from usb, and the sdcard has been
unmounted. If you still have the channels screen on, you may need to leave
it and come back in for the images to be loaded.

Hope this helps!

Re: EventGhost for Android

timhoeck — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 11:56:12 -0000

Hi,

At this point, you should be able to point the app to an external host, as
long as you have port forwarding enabled for your EventGhost machine.

I will be looking into additional options to make this easier, including the
new AC2DM feature on Froyo.

Thanks,
Tim

Try 40x56 for the icons. Hope this helps! I hope to have some updates for
the way this works in the future..

Hi,

I will add the Rhapsody search to my todo list. If you would like to help
test before release, please let me know. Thanks!

Re: EventGhost for Android.. where are you?

timhoeck — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 14:06:05 -0000

Thanks for the suggestion! I have been thinking about adding multiple
'Actions' on a single macro, which would do what you like. I would like to
point out that in your particular situation though, it is probably better to
have a returned event that launches the app.. this is because it would
confirm that the event was received, before launching the app - at least
until I can add some kind of Success/Fail acknowledgment in the macro. Just
an FYI, I understand not wanting the background service running, and will be
looking for further ways to prevent this (including the new AC2DM available
in Froyo).

Hi Yuriy,

Thanks for that, glad you got it working! I thought I had corrected this,
but I will put it on my todo list for the next version.

Re: EventGhost for Android.. where are you?

timhoeck — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 16:32:31 -0000

Hey there,

It could definitely be done with a plugin.. I'll have to see if I get some
time if I can throw one together! :)

Thanks,
Tim

Re: TivoRemote 1.5 Released

timhoeck — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 22:03:01 -0000

Hi Chris,

With the current app, that would not be possible.. I am reworking the entire
search piece - can I get you to do some testing for me? I'll contact you via
email...

Thanks,
Tim

Re: TivoRemote 1.5 Released

timhoeck — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 19:49:20 -0000

Hi Chis,

This is definitely something I'll have to look into. The app itself attempts
to send either the 'Clear' button, or the 'Replay' button if the OSK has 5
columns (I don't recall but I think that is for the YouTube search?) - this
is to try and get the cursor back on its starting point. It seemed to work
for all of the search screens that I tested (including the Beta Search) but
I do not have a Premiere box.Can you tell me a couple things:

1) Are you sure you selected the correct number of columns for the on screen
keyboard before pressing send
2) What screen are you attempting to search/type on?
3) On that screen, does either pressing either clear or replay exit back to
the Tivo menu?

If anyone else with Premiere boxes is having this issue, please feel free to
chime in!
