<h1>How to use anyRemote</h1>
<img class="float-right" alt="tray icon and menu" src="data/ganyremote-tray.png" />
<p>To run anyRemote frontend execute command:</p>
<ul>
<li>Gnome: <code>ganyremote</code></li>
<li>KDE: <code>kanyremote</code></li>
</ul>
<p>After startup anyRemote icon will appear in the tray. 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 Java 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>$HOME/.anyremote.cfg</li>
</ul>
<p>You can specify another configuration file with <strong>-f</strong> option, for example:</p>
<pre>anyremote -f /...path_to.../xmms.cfg -s _connect_string_</pre>
<p>See <a href="man.html">Man page</a> for details.</p>
<p>You may find some predefined configuration files in these directories:</p>
<ul>
<li>cfg-data/AT-mode</li>
<li>cfg-data/Server-mode</li>
<li>cfg-data/Bemused-emulation</li>
</ul>
<h1>Web interface</h1>
<p>It is possible to use anyremote2html package to organize web interface for anyRemote. With help of this
interface any device which contains web browser and which can connect to PC with anyRemote by IP (GPRS, Wi-Fi, ...)
could be used as remote control. Read for <a href="web.html">details</a></p>
<h1>Logging</h1>
<p>By default anyRemote does not prints any logging information.</p>
<p>It is possible to set <strong>Log=false|true|debug</strong> in configuration file or use <strong>-log</strong> command line option to allow
logging. By default all logging information will be stored in <strong>$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>
