Re: Couch Commander - a custom HTPC set-top box using LiveCode

I wish I could be of more help when it comes to Android, but I'm totally unfamiliar with that platform. However, I'll keep my eyes peeled if I happen upon something that'll help you out. Good luck :-)

Re: Couch Commander - a custom HTPC set-top box using LiveCode

Nice job. If I understand, you were able to catch, in Livecode, the infrared signal from your remote, in order to navigate the UI. If this the case, can you explain how you did it? Trevix Thank you! That's a good guess, but I'm actually using a slightly different approach. I'm relying on Linux Mint...

Re: Couch Commander - a custom HTPC set-top box using LiveCode

Thanks for the positive feedback and kind words, folks. I especially liked the "Devo" part. I saw them once live in Berlin 1978. I still like them. Felt like an apt choice, due to my dis-satisfaction with Roku. Caught 'em live in California in 2018 after discovering many of my favourite artists were...

Couch Commander - a custom HTPC set-top box using LiveCode

I just wanted to share a video overview of a side project I started in June of 2023: Couch Commander https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV-qYv6UW4A Here are some of the fine points: UI navigation is done with a common Universal TV Remote, but you can use other input devices too. PolyList and PolyGrid w...

Re: Mapping handler dependencies

This is from the Mailing List: 3. Hmm, I don’t usually use any gray texts. All texts are black, except for a few big buttons that have ”midnight blue” text, which is also the colour of most of the icons. Is something happening to the UI on Linux? It would be interesting to see a screenshot of how it...

Re: “Coding Nine LiveCode Games” by Scott McDonald?

I wonder if there is a way to code these without a 'gameloop'... recursively calling gameloop probably eats a lot of processing time/resources and that's not playing to LC's strengths judging by frame rates... Even on 'simple' pong, frame rate (visual updates rather than procedural updates) is slow...

[Solved] Re: Processes opened for update won't respond to data written to them

It looks like I was missing a Control Operator, in this case a linefeed at the end of the written command. So my write command now looks like this: write _Terminal["send_line_data"] & linefeed to process _Terminal["command"] I went ahead and uploaded my example, Terminal-ish, to the Sample Stacks ar...

[Solved] Processes opened for update won't respond to data written to them

I've been working on a field that behaves like a terminal emulator, but it's only half-working. When you press the Return key, whatever command you've typed is supposed to be written to the user's shell. So far my implementation sort-of works, but any commands I send just seem to disappear into a vo...

[SOLVED] Re: Advice/Tutorials/Guides for Asynchronous Process Polling

I was able to come up with a solution after hammering my way through the LC documentation. I setup a library stack called Process Monitor with a console log and a mechanism for displaying open process IDs. I plan to develop it out into a more versatile process monitor but it runs primarily like this...

[SOLVED] Advice/Tutorials/Guides for Asynchronous Process Polling

I'm looking for Advice/Guides/Tutorials on how to implement an asynchronous process polling mechanism so I can monitor and react to the output of multiple python processes.

Re: USB Game Controllers?

I tested a usb gamepad external that worked wonderfully well. Get in contact with Thierry Douez for the latest copy. I don't believe I have permission to distribute it, but I need to locate it first. :)
