Description:
This is a small "konfigure and run" script for bluemote allowing You to run remote bluetooth control for various media players without using console.
This blumote bluetooth control will let You control Your PC with an Ericsson mobile phone - i test it on Sony-Ericsson T610.
Pls note that amarok option gives You a possibility to send commands to console and see the results as well. So u can remotely shut down Your computer or for examble disable Your home surveillance software like "Motion".
It's made in Kommander and it's a really smalls script just to make starting remote controle easier. I use it to control kaffeine and amarok by my Ericsson t610 mobile via bluetooth. But u can control practicaly everything and also execute shell commands (for example using "amarok" configuration
To use it You need:
bluemote (doc says u can also use it with irda). http://www.geocities.com/saravkrish/progs/bluemote/
for bluetooth interface i use bluez-libs and bluez-utils http://www.bluez.org
Kommander
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=12865
and some bluemote configure scripts - i used the ones i found on
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=22649
and
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=20707
these config files- slightly modified are included in my tar.
All You need to do to make it run is to install all the above mentioned programs (You don't need the config files because i included them). Copy the files that are included im my tar.gz to the directory ~/.bluemote which is the directory bluemote should be installed to (remember not ~/bluemote but ~/.bluemote)
the run the configure script by ./bluemote_konfig
So when u create a shortcut u can run remote control for a media player just with 2 clicks. Then the pc-remote apears in ur accesorries menu in ur ericsson telephone as shown on the second screenshot
HINT:
On my yoper linux i had to execute
mknod -m 660 /dev/rfcomm0 c 216 0
chmod 777 /dev/rfcomm0
from root account to create rfcomm device before i could use any bluetooth device
If u have some suggestions feel free to post them
Changelog:
0.36 to 0.37
another bugfix reported by ktech - bluemote execution path is now ~/.bluemote/bluemote so if You want to use another (newer/modified) bluemote You have to put its binary to ~/.bluemote
PS. I have only 1 bt device which is my T610 so for now i can't work on multi device support (menu to choose on of several detected BT devices)
0.35 to 0.36
small fix to allow those users who don't have permisions to hciconfig (for non-root acounts), to use the scanning option - thanks for reports ktech
anyway try to be sure that hciconfig is in ur path and that You have exec rights to it
0.31 to 0.35
-added support for bt device names handling
-some dialogs informing about hcid daemon not beeing run
bugfix:
-hcid daemon is beeing starded when bringing up hci interface
Pls note that amarok option gives You a possibility to send commands to console and see the results as well. So u can remotely shut down Your computer or for examble disable Your home surveillance software like "Motion".
0.3 to 0.31
bugfixes:
-removed device binding with buttons for kaffeine,OOffice and KMplayer
-removed unnecesary .sh files
-fixed hard-link in bluemote_konfig bash file
0.21 to 0.3
display of bluetooth interface state and also current bind device state
buttons devided in groups
operations that require root passowrd are separated from the nonroot ones to make using bluemote konfig more comfortable
(seperate binding and bt interface operations, so now when u want to change for example bluemote controle from amarok to kaffeine u don't need to introduce root password)
0.2 to 0.21
bugfix: added the scripts that were missing
0.1 to 0.2
added - wait messages
added - release connections button
modified - now You only need to extract this package in Your home folder - because it includes bluemote binary and bluemote configure scripts
TODO:
- selection beteween more then 1 detected BT devices
- more gui controlled options like hci interface number, rfcomm device, charset etc.
