First Flash App - SageTV Controller on Insignia Infocast
I've written my first Flash app. It's a remote control panel for SageTV and it runs natively on our Insignia Infocasts (which are Chumbies under the covers). It was a bit of work for me to understand Actionscript and figure out everything to make it work, but I've gotten to a point where I can show my progress. I started off using the Chumby2MPD sample code and the FlashDevelop package for the development. Each button on the app fetches a URL to a PHP script running on my Apache webserver, while passing it the command to be issued. The PHP script in turn issues an xPL message directed to the SageTV xPL plugin, which interprets the message and controls SageTV.

This is almost exactly what I have been wanting to do with my Infocast, but instead of xPL/Sage, control my HA system via php scripts. Is your source available for this?
ReplyDeleteno my source isn't available, but the Chumby2MPD sample i linked to above has everything you need to do the same thing - the flashdevelop project, the actionscript source and php scripts used.
