AirClick USB hack for v1.0.6

Thu, 04 May 2006 17:41:12 +0000

I wrote some AirClick USB hack that extends iTunes and VLC controllers.
AirClick hack for v1.0.6



for iTunes:

Press/Hold Fast Forward Button - next playlist

Press/Hold Rewind Button - previous playlist

for VLC:

Press/Hold Play Button - toggle Full Screen (command+F)

Press/Hold Fast Forward Button - Fast Forward

Press/Hold Rewind Button - Rewind

Press Fast Forward Button - next file in playlist (command+right arrow)

Press Rewind Button - previous file in playlist (command+left arrow)

To install this:



% cd /Applications/AirClick.app/Contents/Resources

% sudo tar xzvf [this-archive]

[enter your admin password]

Don't try this if you are not familiar with unix commands. This overwrites your 'functions.plist' and REMOVE any other functions but DVD, iTunes, VLC controllers. The original 'functions.plist' are saved as 'functions.plist.sav'. If you don't like this, unpack this archive in any other directory and copy-paste proper parts that you need.

What's ry

Thu, 04 Aug 2005 13:25:14 +0000

ry is an remote controller and display for Apple Macintosh.
Technically speaking, it is a web gateway interface for AppleScript.
You can use this as a visual remote controller for Macs,
and also as an additional and external display.

Install

Installing from binary package

just drag & drop 'ry' application to your Application folder.
current version of ry doesn't work in any other place.

(NOTE: You have to install XCode 2.0 or later for OS X 10.4 Tiger, that includes ruby 1.8. thanks > Alex
And for OS X 10.3 Panther, you should install ruby 1.8 yourself.
Binary package of ruby 1.8 can be downloaded from http://homepage.mac.com/discord/Ruby/)

Installing from source code

Installing from source is a little bit complicated.

Step 0) Developer Tools from Apple must be installed in your box.
(including XCode2.1 and ruby1.8)

Step 1) Build COCOA UI.
- open cocoaui/ry.xcodeproj from XCode and build it.

Step 2) Copy ry ruby components into the application bundle built in Step 1.
- just type make at the top source directory
% make

Step 3) Install ry.app to your Application folder.
- drag&drop cocoaui/build/Release/ry.app to /Application folder

Step 4) Install rubyAEOSA.
- download rubyaeosa-0.2.4.tgz from http://rubycocoa.souceforge.net/files
- NOTE: you need XCode 2.1 for building rubyaeosa (XCode 2.0 doesn't work)
- build & install by the following step
% mkdir /Application/ry.app/Contents/ext
% ruby install.rb config --prefix=/Application/ry.app/Contents/ext
% ruby install.rb setup
% ruby install.rb install

Usage

1) Launch ry.app and start ry server from 'ry' tab.

2) You can test server by previewing local access.

3) Access your Mac from the PSP browser by entering
'http://[YOUR-MAC-IP]:2000/' as URL.

IMPORTANT NOTE: MacOS X local firewall should be disabled
or port 2000/TCP should be opened for firewall
