Shutdown via remote control (lirc)

hi all :>
is it possible to shutdown the computer through a ir remote control? do i have to configure the lirc conf or is there any easier way?
best regards

Option 1
LIRC
try irexec if you don't know what it is please google.
arch wiki, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lir … o_use_Lirc
Add this to your .lircrc file:
begin
prog = irexec
button = Power (or wahetver the PC button is named on your /etc/lircd.conf)
config = shutdown -h now
end
Option 2-1000

Remote control using DCOM: Error: "ActiveX component cannot be created."

Hello,
I want to address a OMICRON CPC100 device via remote control. I have a dll ("TESTCONTROL.dll"), which provides methods to control the CPC100. In order to encapsulate this functionality, I've written a VB.NET-dll ("CLC_CL_for_Net.dll") (it's a class-dll) which calls methods of TESTCONTROL.dll. Now I want to use CLC_CL_for_Net.dll in LabVIEW.
Here's the code of CLC_CL_for_Net.dll:
Imports TESTCONTROLLib
Namespace MyCPCNamespace
    Public Class CPCClass
        Public Sub New()
        End Sub
        Public Sub testfunction(ByVal ipaddress As String)
            Dim tc As TestProcedure
            Dim atm As IATMTest
            tc = CreateObject("TestControl.TestProcedure", ipaddress)   '<-- here the error occurs!
            atm = CreateObject("TestControl.ATMTest", ipaddress)
            atm.Activate(300, 10, 1)
            atm.Deactivate()
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace
In order to enable DCOM on my computer, I did the following:
- I switched the firewall off.
- I started "dcomcnfg.exe", chose "Component Services/Computers/My Computer -> Properties" and checked the checkbox "Enable Distributed COM on this computer".
- I also chose the tab "My Computer Properties/COM Security" and allowed everyone full access and launch
permissions.
- I created an exe-file from my LabVIEW VI, which uses the dll, with the help of the LabVIEW Application Builder.
For this exe-file and also for the TESTCONTROL, I set the authentication level to "None".
For test purposes, I used my dll in a C++ project. There everything works fine. However, when I try to use the dll
in LabVIEW (using LabVIEW's .NET constructor node and method node, which you can find under Connectivity -> .NET), the program fails at the line "tc = CreateObject("TestControl.TestProcedure", ipAddress)".
Here the error message displayed by LabVIEW (I translated it from German into English):
"Error 1172 has occurred at Error calling method CLC_CL_for_Net.MyCPCNamespace.CPCClass.testfunction of ObjectId
handle: 0x2BB117C for obj 0x3F19E1D[CLC_CL_for_Net.MyCPCNamespace.CPCClass] in domain [LabVIEW Domain for Run] and
thread 3792, (System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
Inner Exception: System.Exception: The ActiveX component cannot be created.
) in CPC100_RemoteControlVI.vi"
As the dll works when I use it in the C++ project, I don't understand why this error occurs when I use the dll in
LabVIEW. Do I have to give LabVIEW any special permissions?
Can anyone help me to solve this problem? Thanks a lot for your efforts!
Regards,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
I am not really familiar with .NET assemblies but I found couple informations on your error :
First of all, about the Error 1172 in LabVIEW, there is two things to proof:
Ensure that the .NET assemblies that you are using are saved in the root directory of the top-level VI.
Add the .NET assembly as a reference in LabVIEW by selecting Tools»Advanced»NET Assembly References. Click the Add button and navigate to the location of all the assemblies that you want to call.
Those two steps sometimes solve Error 1172 related problems. I also found some information about the "ActiveX component cannot be created" error. A .Net Class library needs to be in a COM wrapper in order for it to be called through COM methods, such as ActiveX. The way to do so is:
1. Create a new .NET Class Library project.
2. Remove the Class1.vb that is created.
3. Click Add Class on your project.
4. Choose "COM Class", and add it.
5. Add at least 1 function or sub in it.
6. Compile it, and Visual Studio should registrer it automaticly.
If you whish to manuall reg it, or create a registry entry file, use "RegAsm.exe" in the .NET Framework folder.
I hope this could be any helpful to you

My account was switched by remote control, now Verizon won't switch it back!

Hello, I signed and gave a verbal agreement for a 2 year contract to Verizon FiOS for triple play bundle. My price after taxes was supposed to be 114 per month and it was for 04/2015 until 04/2017. On 6/22/15 Verizon claimed someone in my home upgraded my package via remote control. It was not me nor my wife. It is possible it was my 7 year old daughter however I cannot be sure. This new package will cost me 135 per month approximately. I called Verizon immediately that night and asked for it to be removed. I was told my a sales person that it would be. When I discovered I still had channels I was not supposed to I called back. I was told that there was no way to remove this package and I would have to pay the new amount. My monthly charge has now gone up 21 dollars per month which would be a total of 462 for the life of the contract. All I was offered was a credit of 10 dollars per month. I did not agree to any of this and feel it is wrong, illegal and unethical. These remote controls should come with built in locks and be agreed upon by the homeowner!!!! I am looking at Time Warner right now to see what they can do for me and I will be filing complaints with the BBB, FTC and the NY Attorney General.

Is is possible to launch a remote control session via a command line as well
as the other "remote actions"?
Thanks,

Zfd4.01 remote control via desktop4.exe. What rights are needed?(repost, seems to have been stuck in wrong thread)

Hi.
Trying to give some non-admin users the right to remote control workstations via the user object. I have followed the tids/documentation for
this when using ConsoleOne and that works just fine.
When trying to remote control a user object with desktop4.exe (dopps zenwsbrowser actually) there seems to be some rights missing. Making the
user into an admin solves the problem and until the remote controlled user changes IP on his workstation it keeps on working even when removing
admin rights.
So the question is simply put:
What rights is needed on user AND workstation objects to remote control with desktop4.exe? Or if someone knows how I can check what attributes
has changed on a user after a remote control has been performed that would be sweet too.

Remote control of Mac via Flash iOS app

Hi all
I am a very trial-and-error Flash coder but have managed to create a (I think) pretty serviceable VJ system - see http://www.smashedupsoiree.com/magic-wall/
There are two Flash movies that run concurrently on the same Mac. One is the video content itself which is displayed by a projector; the other is the Controller movie which runs on the mac laptop screen. The two movies communicate by LocalConnection. I have had some success using VNC apps on an ipad which grabs the screen from the Mac and therefore enables this Controller movie to be effectively operated as a touch screen, portable interface. However there are latency issues with VNC - not what you need for a live performance tool!
I am considering instead developing the controller as a packaged-for-ios app to reduce the latency issues. If I do so, does anyone know how it will be able to control the flash movie running on the mac on the same network? (In the vein of these kinds of apps: http://mashable.com/2010/02/28/iphone-remote-control-apps/ )? I have read that Local Connections do not work in Packaged-for-iOS apps. Would I instead use Apple APIs? How is this done via Flash Actionscript? I would want to either control the Mac-based movie like a LocalConnection or even simulating keypresses would be fine, that I can then detect with the Mac Flash movie.
As I mentioned before, I'm no professional coder so the whole matter is a bit blurry to me! Any pointers would be much appreciated...

Remote control via Airport express

I am looking for a remote control for my music via Airtunes other than the premote app for the Iphone/Itouch. Keyspan has a solution but it's really old and I'm hoping to find a more updated solution. Ideally, I'd like to have a screen that will mimic my Itunes interface so I can scroll through my music. It's a shame that Apple doesn't have a remote to do this.
Thanks for any help

Hi Sean,
I basically was in the same situation as you - too lazy to get up and walk to the computer with my music library
The only way I found to do this was using Apple Remote Desktop which unfortunately is too expensive (for me certainly) to be a solution in this case.
Sorry I can't really help, but at least you know you're not alone!

Remote control iPhone 4 via Windows Laptop/Desktop

Hello,
I was wodnering if there was a way to remotely control my iPhone via my Windows Laptop? My speaker system is across the room which is hooked up to my iPhone, so everytime I want to change to a specific song or skip a song, I would have to get up and manually change it.
I have seen apps in the store that allow you use the iPhone control another apple device, or use your iPhone as the remote. However in this case, I want to use my computer as the remote.
Anyone have any ideas or tips? Thanks in advance.

Gave it a look, tried all the troubleshooting. My IP addresses are the same, so now I really don't understand. I'm just super confused. If it hadn't ever worked, I would just write it off as my university network being too strict... but now that it has worked once and really... nothing changed... I am just very confused.

Control a swf via RF remote control, ala Powerpoint?

Hi
I am in the middle of a Flash project creating a powerpoint
like
presentation to be shown on a projector screen. Flash 9 or a
projector.exe
I wonder have you ever had to ask Flash/Flex to control the
remote clicker(pointer) buttons using a Front Projection screen ???
I looked on Adobe, Forums and found only this entry,
Topic Title::: How can I control a swf file via RF remote
control, ala Powerpoint?
- but don't seem to be able to get to work.
Is there a new method used in AS3? I really need to get my
hands on a very simple .flv example.
I need to click to the nest stop(); and click back if needed.
onKeypress pagedown
onKeypress pageup
Thankyou

I figured it out. Just make a full-screen invisible button
and place it on a layer on each frame.
For insatnce, Actions - Button for frame 2:
on (keyPress "<PageDown>") {
gotoAndStop (3);
on (keyPress "<PageUp>") {
gotoAndStop (2);
sends the show forward to frame (slide) 3 with a press of the
remote's "Next" button and sends it back to frame (slide) 1 with a
press of the "Back" button.
I have a Stop action on each frame.
This allows me to control a Flash show just like a Powerpoint
show. Cool.

1) When I go to the apple.com website my computer will either be really slow or freeze my whole system down to where I have to reboot my computer again. This does not happen all the time but when it does operate it is molasses slow.
By any chance, are you uswing Kaspersky security software?
If so, see:

Remote control via ethernet

Is it possible to remotely control my "main" iMac with an older Macbook over ethernet?
I use the iMac for all my business/communications stuff but would like to do some music recording. There is not enough space on my desk for all this so I'd like to use the Macbook next to the synths etc. but the Macbook does not have the horsepower to run the music software.
I have run an old PC using RDC from the iMac but I've not been able to do more than drop files into the Macbook's public folder and retrieve them in the iMac.
What I want is to totally control my iMac from the PB.
thx for any input.

Which OS version the PB is running?
If it is on 10.5 you already have Screen Sharing. If the PB is still at 10.4 you can get JollysFastVNC

Win2k8 Remote Control Not Working With SRSS 4.2 + SRWC 2.2

Hi there.
I have an install of Windows Server 2008 (32bit) with SRSS 4.2 & SRWC 2.2 setup. I was previously on SRSS 4.1 & SRWC 2.1 and having the same issue I am having now, which to me tells me this problem is unresolved or i'm being a total muppet. (hopefully not the last one)
Windows Terminal Server environments has this awesome remote control feature where you can login to an RDP session which is already active and take control of the session while the end user is still logged in.With Server 2003 this works perfectly fine- it's brilliant. WIth 2008 it is a nightmare. It works for a split second and then closes off. The end users session also gets locked out (not logged out) and they have to put their windows credentials in to carry on working again.
Now... I can remote control users who are logging in via Remote Desktop on Windows XP/Vista etc.. but I can't with the Sun Ray Sessions. Does the SRWC 2.2 fully compatible with RDP 6.1 or is there any information anyone can give me to point me in the right direction of resolving this issue, like I said.. Win 2k3- Works like a dream....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
- Joe.

I just realised I hadn't posted the logs from SRSS Server with the issues. I have just tried on another WIN2K8 Server which wasn't configured by myself or my company and the same symptoms occurred. See logs below:

Unplugging all network devices from Fios router prevents DVR freezing and remote control lock ups.

All,
I recently had a Verizon tech visit my house due to constant DVR and remote control freezing. TV content was freezing whether it was locally recorded, pulled from another DVR in the house, or On Demand. On a hunch after the tech tested everything and was about to leave, he unplugged my gigabit switch from the Fios router. Lo and behold everything started running perfectly. Since to the tech, the problem was solved, he closed the case and was on his way. The probem is of course I have more devices than the built in router switch provides ports for. My network is compised of an 8 port Netgear gigabit switch downstream from the Fios router with two wireless access points (with their own built in gigbait switches) connecting to the Netgear gigabit switch. There are no loops in the switch topology. I've tried changing out the router, the gigabit switch, removing the wireless acces points individually as well as plugging the access points directly into the Fios router switch (one at a time with no Netgear switch in the middle) and all scenarious cause the DVR/remote control freeezing to come back. The only devices I can plug into the Fios router without causing freezes are PC's....anything with it's own switch essentially brings the network to it's knees. If anyone has an idea how to get my network back in one piece AND make the DVR's/remotes behave, I'd greatly appreciate the help!
My Fios equipment:
MI-424WR GEN-3I rev I (eye) running firmware 40.19.36
5 Motorola HD-DVRs all QIP 7232-2 running software release 1.9.1 platform build 25.39 (Oct. 22, 2012)
Specific config:
75/35 Fios connecting via ethernet from ONT. Set-top boxes connect to Fios router coax port via powered splitter.
*All SNR/dB mesasurements taken by the tech from the set-top boxes and router are well within spec.
Fios router provides DHCP addressing. Wireless N access points are configured for roaming with the same SSID and non-overlapping channels. Access points are not providing routing or IP adressing...all layer 3 and up services still provided by Fios router

I am inclined to echo several of the "tns" comments, particularly with respect to your splitter. My layout is based on a standard 8-port splitter of the type usually supplied in a VZ install. In addition I do have a ChannelPlus device that functions as a powered splitter, but its use is limited to distribution of secondary TV signals to older analog TVs. My first point then is that this may be an offender as "tns" has suggested.
In addition, I'd describe your wiring as "non-standard" (red-colored items in the above diagram)  As you're no doubt aware, with 75/35 you don't really need Cat5e from the ONT (your original diagram). It seems the highest tiers do require it, but in "standard" installations this run is coax directly to an 8-port non-powered splitter (below diagram), then from that splitter via coax to all STBs and CableCards, other TVs, et.), and also to the Actiontec.   Subsequent feeds from the Actiontec to wired devices (including WAPs) are via Ethernet (typically Cat 5e).
In fact I don't immediately see how your STBs get additional services such as On Demand and IMG with the wiring shown in your diagram (perhaps someone can help me out here). In "standard" installs the Actiontec must be connected via coax to the ONT to provide such services to other network clients. I don't see that requirement being met here.
For starters I'd recommend that you change your service from WAN Ethernet to WAN coax. This can easily be accomplished over the telephone. Then I'd run coax directly from the ONT to the Actiontec as in my revised diagram below (blue-colored items). If your setup can manage with this arrangement, I think it will help greatly with the "freezing" issue.

Subsequent Note: You provided additional info while I was composing a response, and I'd like to offer another comment. Structured wiring "panels" of the type usually available are pre-configured to provide data, phone and video. This usually means that one is in certain respects limited by the ideas of the panel designer. I have what can be called a structured wiring layout, but it really is composed of individual small custom networks for each service (automation, security, video, data, telco, etc.), configured so that all wiring terminates in "home run" fashion at a central panel (a few details here: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Home-Networking/Cmon-Show-Us-Your-Network/m-p/481733#M765 ). This layout makes it easier to make adjustments (and there have been quite a few over the intervening years). I'm thinking that in your case you may have to abandon the powered splitter (presumably) built into the panel in order to avoid your present fix.
Subsequent Subsequent Note:   From your description it seems that you are using more than a single "whole house" DVR to supply programming to other devices. This is a bit puzzling to me because somewhere along the line I recall reading that only a single whole house DVR was allowed on the network. Can you elaborate a bit?

Can you manually advance a Captivate slide presentation with a remote control and a projector.

I have published a large volument of PowerPoint presentations with Captivate 5.0 and intend to distribute the presentations to live instructors as a means to control content delivered live by instructors to the students. The files are aggregrated into groups of lessons and published to PDF with a Table of Contents.
We need to avoid manually advancing the show from the laptop.
Having difficulty determining how to use remote control via laptop and projector to advance the next slide or presentation. Can't get it to work. Was able to do so previously with PowerPoint slides converted to PDF shows. Remotes/Laser pointers worked fine. But now that I have processed the shows through Captivate 5.0 can seem to find a remote that will work with the new PDF or SWF with our systems.
We use a laptop and projection system, so need to be able to advance the show to the next "slide" manually and are trying to figure out how to do it with a remote control.
Has anyone else experienced this challenge and did you find a solution?.

Hi Carey,
if you can apply the letter "A" for "next" to your remote control?
Then you could add a shortcut to your buttons in the captivate file.
In deapth:
Go to a PPT importet slide (using the "click mouse" option to continue".
Click somewhere in the screen (clickbox_xx will be selected).
Properties - Action - Shortcut. Click it and press "A".
Click somewhere on the stage.
Now when you press your next button on the remote, Captivate will receive an "A" and continue to the next slide.
Hope this helps
Best

HT1947 iPhone 5 remote control to ipad 2

I'm looking for an app to use my iPhone 5 as a remote control to the ipad 2. I have netflix on the ipad plugged into the tv and would like to control it from my iPhone. Does any app exist?

Thank you very much for your help MetaSolaray; this is most helpful ... I have followed your advice and was able to establish the following:
My kids can send messages to my iPad via iMessage, and they receive messages sent from my iPad ... so, all ok with respect to Apple devices in Canada!
It now has become apparent that messages sent by my wife from South Africa to my kids' iPhones are received randomly (i.e. not consistently), and still not delivering at all to my iPad. What is interesting is that my wife is able to txt my eldest's Blackberry perfectly. Does this mean that it is an iMessage/iDevice to iDevice issue?
My wife has not yet been able to get to a WiFi location, so all texts have been sent via cellular (data roaming is turned off on her iPhone). We are hoping that soon she will be able to get to a location where she can hop onto a wireless network to test this further; but, I have to say, I find this highly frustrating as txt (pre-iMessage) seemed so reliable. I will keep you posted ...
I really appreciate your kind assistance!
