Scripting for Remote Control

Hey folks,
I'm working on a project where I'd like to have a hidden track that would only be accessed when the user entered a specific number with the DVD remote. For example, while a menu or track is playing, the user could enter the number 14 and press enter on the remote, then immediately be taken to the start of the new track. Is this possible?
Thanks for any help.
Kevin

Hi Kevin
You can actually do this without scripting. Each button in a menu can be accessed via the numberpad on the remote. If you've got 5 buttons you can access the 5th button by pushing "5" on your key pad. So if you make an invisible button with no highlight states as your button 5 then the view won't know it's there but by pushing "5" you'll activate it.
In a track, you should be able to do the same thing using 'buttons-over-video', I haven't tested this so I'm not sure where the numberpad finds priority - but give it a go and let us know what happens.
Cheers

Does Av digital adapter works with the universal dock for remote control?

if I only connect the Lightning to 30 pin adapter to the universal dock for remote control it works so good with music, spotify, Netflix, YouTube etc.
but if I add the av digital lightning adapter to watch on Tv, the dock and remote control don't work anymore what can I do? I want to watch stuff on tv and use the IR dock for remote control please help me what's going wrong?

Thanks for your advice.
I recently purchased a universal dock for my iphone 3g. It works great. I just had one question. When my iphone is sitting on it for lets say 20 - 30 minutes. Then if i press the buttons on the remote. nothing happens! If I then press the home button while it is on the cradle then, the remote, it plays music. There after lets say if I stop stop the music through the remote and again press the remote button after a few minutes it starts playing. So what happens after a long time. Why do i have to press the home button on the iphone for the remote to work. Is that how it is supposed to work???
Thanks

Import for remote control

If I install desktop management agent on our XP workstations will those
clients get automatically registered, and imported upon login? The goal is
to have workstations registered and imported in order to have
them created for remote control.

There is no error. The console screen from the server is just blank showing
no activity. When I deleted the server policy the screen still had no
activity. I should have gotten a message on the console indicating that no
policy exists.
On a functioning server with autoimport enabled, a message will be displayed
showing that a workstation was created. In this case nothing happens, and
the workstation doesnt get created.

Looking for remote control App (iPhone) to use with iMovie

I just got a Macbook Air, and my infrared Apple remote control doesn't work with it.
I wanted to be able to do presentations (in this case using iMovie) and be able to have a remote so that I could pause, go back, fast forward, i.e. the usual things a remote does.
There probably is a good App that I can install on my iPhone that will let me use my iPhone as a remote control, but I don't know which one. Any suggestions???? Ideally, it would be a bluetooth program (although Wi-Fi would work too) that would also work with other programs, like Keynote.
Thanks!

Well, I don't know much about this, but if you need to control the actual system in some way, you are going to need to use JNI (Java Native Interface), which is essentially embedding C/C++ code in your java app, which doesn't lend well to platform-independence. I too develop on a Mac, and there is a mailing list for Java related issues on the Mac. You can check it out at: http://developer.apple.com/java/
If you sign up for ADC (Apple Developer Connection, it's free), you can have access to these mailing lists. They've been quite helpful to me in the past. I don't mean to slam the forums here, but you are looking for a Mac specific solution, and you'd probably get more specific information on this mailing list. Hope this helps!!

System design for remote control

I just wonder which tech of ni I should use.
My system is one data center and some remote DAQ site. The communication is through WAN.
It need to
- start stop and schedule DAQ card from remote data center
- send realtime data back for display
- report the DAQ running status, such as online.
- send history data from site pc to center database
there are many choice, such as tcp/ip, data socket server, shared varible, remote panel, remote vi server, web server.
May I know which one is more fit for the application?
Thanks a lot.

Hi all,
I am very new to Labview, but I have to deal with somewhat difficult problem of remotely controlling the Laser in next room. The PC I will be using has already built labview software to control the laser if laser is closeby. But the laser is next door (~200-300 feet), and the PC which controls the laser also have the labview software to control the laser. Please suggest me how should I start communicating from my first PC to the laser (may be using the laser labview software or not). To start with I would be glad to find some reads or demonstrative examples or any suggestion which will head me to right direction.
I hope for great help.

It would probably be a good idea to start a new message on this rather than continue in this message thread. It seems to be a different situation you are asking about then what the original poster was doing.
How does the PC communicate with the laser if it is close by? Is it a serial connection? ethernet connection? GPIB? something else. If it is serial, is it RS-232, RS-485, USB? 200-300 feet is too far for an RS-232 or USB connection. But there are numerous products on the market that will adapt those serial protocols to either an RS-485 wiring setup, or put it out over an ethernet connection. So you can go RS-232 to RS-485 on one end. RS-485 goes to 4000 feet (depending on baud rate). Then on the other end another adapter converts it back to RS-232. I have also used a remote USB hub that connects to a LAN connection, and with driver software installed on the PC, it turns that remote connection into virtual serial port connections.
These are good devices that have worked for me. But if they would work for you all depends on how the PC connects to the laser now.

Manual for remote control

Where can I get a users manual for the remote control and the DVR features? I don't need help with programing to control my TV. I want to know about the features, menues, how to use the favorites, etc.

what is displayed as the answer - where can I get a manual for my dvr - does not address the X1 equipment I received yesterday. The remote is completely different from what is shown in the manual displayed - must be an older model, and the dvr is also completely different. Does anyone know whether these manuals are available at a Comcast center?

When will Canon start making its' own software for remote control since Pixela is so terrible at it?

It totally sucks that Canon dares sell their camcorder on the fact that YOUR smartphone is the remote control and yet they have ZERO support on the software! At present your chances are far more likely that your smartphone will not work with the Pixela software and that you WILL NOT HAVE A REMOTE CONTROL for your Canon product. Canon seems very uninterested in taking care of this problem.
How many people have bought a Canon product with the promise of your remote control being your smartphone and then not finding that they have a phones that is not “compatible” ?!?!?!? Is Canon expected everyone that buys one of these to then buy a matching phone? This is crazy and it sure puts a terrible light on Canon!
This is my first Canon product and I am NOT impressed! I have the Canon Vixia HF R42 and Android 2.3.4 and I am NOT a happy camper with Canon! Send me my damned remote control for this camera!

Canon should have a complete list of all the phones that do not work with this crappy software maker! Better yet, they should include a real remote with their cameras, but at present Canon needs to advertise that more than likely their camcorders with be remoteLESS for you! This is crazy that you don’t know until AFTER you get the Canon product home that you might have to buy a new phone to have a remote control.
This seriously SUCKS!

What rights are needed for remote control

I have a user that I want to allow remote control rights for a group of

workstation object which I find hard to believe as its so time consuming!
Thanks in advance

OWB_REMOTE_ADMIN value for remote control centre service?

We're upgrading from OWB 10.2 to 11gR2, and it's failing with a message saying that the 'owb\UnifiedRepos\remote_owb_install.sql' script needs to be run to set the OWB_REMOTE_HOME to the OWB home on the database server.
However, as with our version 10 architecture, we don't want to install OWB on the database server, we want to have the Control Centre Service running on a separate application server. OWB11 has been installed on the apps server but when we run remote_owb_install.sql and then try to run OMBSEED the same error is coming up saying to run the script again. I've tried setting the OWB_REMOTE_HOME's value implicitly and explicitly, but neither works.
Any ideas or pointers gratefully received!

to add to the above information......
since I am using my own tablespace and schema as described above .....
I created a new control center through the design center user interface.......
for the new control center ...i provided the details of the above new user ...new workspace etc....
the ran the below ORACLE provided script(show_service script).....
set serveroutput on;
set role OWB_USER;
declare
l_available number(22);
begin
l_available := owbsys.wb_rt_script_util.show_service();
if l_available <> 0
then
dbms_output.put_line('Available');
else
dbms_output.put_line('Not Available');
end if;
end;
output is 'AVAILABLE'
but when I deploy my first mapping ..... I get the below error message
Error
RPE-01012: Cannot deploy PL/SQL maps to this target schema.
The target schema must be in the same instance as the Control Center and have the OWB_USER role granted
I have only one instance of oracle database .....also I have granted the OWB_USER role to my targer schema
how do i check what the Control Center is trying

Best script for recreating control file

Hi
Yesterday I had a lot of fun trying to refresh a Dev db with an inconsistent backup (just learned that the offline backup from that night finished late and not before the db was started up again, thus making datafile inconsistent).
Today I will try again. I am waiting for the tape backup to finish restoring to the Dev datafile directory.
I would love to know if there is a template out there, or if we can agree here, for the best standard for recreating a control file through a @script.
I will include the one I intend to use here, minus the datafiles.
I am using the RESETLOGS, since we are using :"SET" database.

AIX 5.2
Oracle 9.2

I normally break it up into seperate scripts (even though the "trace" file generates a single script file).
1. The first is the CREATE CONTROLFILE itself. If successful , it also mounts the database.
The most important portion is to validate that we do have ALL the datafiles included.
(eg if you are generating from an old controlfile backup and some new datafile(s) have been added since that backup you had better ensure that you add them to the script , else the RECOVER DATABASE will ignore them and they will be unrecoverable after the OPEN RESETLOGS !)
2. The next portion is the RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE which I never run non-interactively.
Always ensure that it is NOT an interactive run. If you really have more than a dozen archivelogs to apply, then you could just enter AUTO after supplying the first 3 or 4 archivelogs and wait for the RECOVER DATABASE to "error" out after it applies the last archivelog.
3. The next portion is a manual RECOVER to apply any Archivelogs that couldn't be applied by the AUTO -- eg Archives that weren't on disk but which I've restored OR the actual last Active/Current Online Redo Logs that hadn't been applied.
between step 3 and step 4,
to be safe : I could SHUTDOWN (it is MOUNTED but not OPEN) and take a Cold Backup of the database files and controlfiles. -- This can help me retry a RESETLOGS or restore a datafile that I might have mistakenly excluded from the CREATE CCF script
and re-"recover" database -- meaning that Oracle will recover that datafile alone.
4. Finally I review the alert.log, satisfy myself that I have applied all archivelogs and then manually issue the ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS.
5. Now I add TEMPFILEs (if 10g hasn't done it "automagically")
6. If I have time, take a Cold Backup OR initiate a Hot Backup asap.
I know that 10g now provides supported methods of recovering through a RESETLOGS, based on Incarnation ID, ... but still , old habits and old commands die hard.
Have I answered your question about how to format the CREATE CCF ? No. But I've just added some inputs on how I prefer the next few steps be done.
