To open main window choose "Restore" tray menu item. It is possible to specify <strong>-o</strong> option to open main window at startup. Upon startup frontend will scan all found configuration files and show list which will look like the picture below.</p> <p class="center clear"><img alt="main window" src="data/ganyremote1.jpg" /></p> <p>The status column shows does particular application runs on PC or not. Frontend will rescan application activity each minute (can be changed in preference window).</p> <p>To run anyRemote it needs just to double-click application name. Alternatively it is possible to use tray menu items Execute/Stop, or File->Execute/Stop menu items in main window.</p> <p>In preferences window (see below) it is possible to specify locations of configuration files, filters and tune various parameters. </p> <p class="center"><img alt="main window" src="data/ganyremote3.jpg" /></p> <p>To use anyRemote GUI it needs to have at least one element in "Directory" list. In normal situation frontend will find location of configurational files automatically.</p> <p><img class="float-right" alt="main window" src="data/ganyremote-devbr.jpg" />By default frontend will scan for BT devices each minute. Found devices will be marked as <strong>Available</strong> in list. To be detected an BT device must be in <strong>discoverable</strong> mode. If new BT device will be detected, then <strong>Device Detail window</strong> (see below) will be shown automatically.</p> <p class="clear">In Device Detail window it is possible to</p> <ul> <li>ping BT device</li> <li>verify will it works with anyRemote in AT-mode</li> <li>upload J2ME client to the phone</li> <li>configure anyRemote autostart in case of BT device will be found</li> <li>set configuration file which will be used by anyRemote if BT device will be found</li> </ul> <p class="center"><img alt="main window" src="data/ganyremote-devdet.png" /></p> <p class="info extra">If something goes wrong be double sure that all software <a href="pre.html">prerequisites</a> are installed.</p> <h1>How to use anyRemote from command line</h1> <p>By default anyRemote will search the following configuration files:</p> <ul> <li>/.anyremote.cfg</li> <li>$HOME/.anyremote.cfg</li> </ul> <p>You can specify another configuration file with <strong>-f</strong> option, for example:</p> <pre>anyremote -f /...path_to.../xmms.cfg -s peer[,peer ...]</pre> <p>See <a href="man.html">Man page</a> for details.</p> <p>You may find some predefined configuration files in these directories:</p> <ul> <li>cfg-data/AT-mode</li> <li>cfg-data/Server-mode</li> <li>cfg-data/Bemused-emulation</li> </ul> <h1>Web interface</h1> <p>To use anyRemote with any device which contains web browser and which can connect to PC by TCP/IP (GPRS, Wi-Fi, ...) it is possible to use built-in <a href="web.html">web interface</a>. <h1>Logging</h1> <p>By default anyRemote does not prints any logging information.</p> <p>It is possible to add command <pre>Make(var,Log,by_value,false|true|debug);</pre> to the <code>(Init)= ...</code> command sequence in the configuration file or use <code>-log</code> command line option to allow logging.</p> <p>By default all logging information will be stored in <strong>$HOME/.anyRemote/anyremote.log</strong> file. This could be altered by setting <strong>AR_TMPDIR</strong> environment variable. If <strong>AR_TMPDIR</strong> environment variable is set then logging information will be printed to <strong>${AR_TMPDIR}/anyremote.log.${USER}</strong></p> <h1>Sound control with amixer</h1> <p>If configuration file uses <strong><a href="http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Amixer">amixer</a></strong> utility to control sound volume and if it needed to control a non-default (<strong>0</strong>) sound card it is possible to add the folowing command</p> <pre>Make(var,MixerCard,by_value,1); <i>% change 1 to the appropriate sound card number</i></pre> <p>to the <strong>$HOME/.anyRemote/hook_init</strong> file.</p> <p>If configuration file uses <strong>amixer</strong> utility to control sound volume and if it needed to control a channel different from <strong>Master</strong> it is possible to add the folowing command</p> <pre>Make(var,MixerChannel,by_value,PCM); <i>% change PCM to appropriate channel to control</i></pre> <p>to the <strong>$HOME/.anyRemote/hook_init</strong> file.</p> </div></div> <!-- content --> <div id="foot"> <p>Maintained by <a href="mailto:anyremote@mail.ru">anyRemote</a>.
