Remote

• This is a summary of kmttg Remote tab, Remote sub-tab.
• Tivos will only show up in this list if "Enable rpc style communications with this Tivo" is checked in the Tivos tab of the kmttg configuration panel.

• Contains a complete set of virtual remote control buttons similar to the TiVo iOS application and a few select "combo" buttons in addition to some advanced navigation controls not ordinarily found on other network remotes.

• Each button has a keyboard shortcut as well and tooltip for each button indicates the keyboard mapping.

• In addition to the buttons and their keyboard shortcuts there is keyboard support for a-z (lowercase), A-Z (uppercase), asterisk, delete, space, back space, comma, underscore and ampersand keys all of which are useful when using a screen with virtual keyboard on the TiVo. See [keyboard_shortcuts] for full list of supported keys.

• There are "combo" buttons for Standby toggle, Closed Captions toggle, My Shows and Find Remote.

  • NOTE: Closed Captions toggle assumes CC is off as initial state when first used in kmttg.
  • The "Find Remote" function is telnet only mode, not RPC and the intent is to make the remote control associated with the TiVo unit play a song so you can find it if lost, for units that support that functionality of course.

• There is also a set of advanced navigation buttons:

  • Jump to minute - Supply a position in minutes from the start of the show that you wish to jump to for currently playing show. For example, if you enter 22, then playback will jump to that exact minute mark. NOTE: Non-integer minutes such as 0.5 can be used.
  • Skip minutes ahead - Supply number of minutes that you want to skip ahead to for currently playing show. NOTE: Non-integer minutes such as 0.5 can be used.
  • Skip minutes back - Supply number of minutes that you want to skip back to for currently playing show. NOTE: Non-integer minutes such as 0.5 can be used.
  • Launch App - Allows you to choose a TiVo application in given list and launch it on the selected TiVo.
  • NOTE: The streambaby launch point assumes that you are running streambaby on port 7290 on same computer running kmttg and is useful for those that get C501 errors in the HME launch points on the TiVo itself.
  • See App Launcher Configuration in [config_ChannelNavigator] to configure which apps are listed, or to change what uri is used for e.g. streambaby's computer and port.
  • SPS backdoor - All known Select-Play-Select backdoors for series 3 and later units are available here. You can select the desired backdoor in the pulldown menu and then click on this button to execute it. The meaning of each backdoor is listed as a tooltip as part of the pulldown menu when you select a specific item.
