Remuco is a duplex remote control system for Linux media players and mobile

to get instructions on how to install Remuco for one or more media players.
81
Note: Please remove any Remuco version < 0.8.2. Installation process has
82
changed in 0.8.2 so that you otherwise might end up with multiple Remuco
83
installations on your system. If you do not have the install log files
84
anymore which lists all installed files, then look for files starting
85
with 'remuco-...' in /usr/local/bin and for a directory called 'remuco'
86
and a remuco egg info file in /usr/local/lib/python2.X/site-packages/.
88
Next, install the client application on your mobile device. You find the
89
required JAR and JAD files in the directory 'client/app'.
90
How to install is device dependent - please consult the documentation of your
93
Note: If the client fails to start on your mobile, have a look at
94
http://remuco.sourceforge.net/index.php/Client_Customization
95
for possible reasons and solutions.

107
Some player adapters need to get started manually, others get started
108
automatically when the corresponding player application starts. Please visit
109
http://remuco.sourceforge.net/index.php/Getting_Started for player specific
112
Each player adapter has a configuration file ~/.config/remuco/<PLAYER>/conf.
113
Edit this file if needed. Logging output of a player adapter goes to
114
~/.cache/remuco/<PLAYER>/log.
118
Using the client is not too complicated, just start and use it ;) .

4. Player Adapter Development
127
To develop a player adapter, use 'fooplay' as a template and implement it as
128
described in the file 'api.html'.
130
To test the fooplay adapter, simply run it as a Python script. It requires the
131
Python module 'remuco' which is available if you installed another player
132
adapter before. Otherwise, just add '<package-root>/base/module' to PYTHONPATH
133
before running the fooplay adapter.
135

137
5. Packager Information
139
Packagers should not use the top level make file -- this is a wrapper around
140
'setup.py'. Instead use setup.py directly, which install all Remuco components
141
(base, player adapters and client binaries) by default. The client installation
142
can be suppressed by setting the environment variable 'REMUCO_NO_CLIENT'.
143
Additionally some more environment variables may be used to adjust the
144
installation process, just grep setup.py for 'os.getenv'.
