ABOUT
-----

 Control the most common audio/media players with one script on MorphOS.
 You can assign this script to keyboard shortcuts, multimedia keys, remote
 control's buttons etc with MMKeyboard for example. Or use your imagination
 for something else (make control buttons to Ambient's Panel, get commands
 from remote machine with telnet etc).

 Supported players: MPlayer, Jukebox, AmiNetRadio, AMPlifier, SongPlayer,
 AmigaAMP, DeliTracker, XBMC (remote), WebRadio, RNORadio, DAPlayer, RNOTunes.

 XBMC support relies on JSON-RPC API version 6 (XBMC 12, Frodo) or later.
 Many commands won't work on systems with an older API. I might think about
 adding support for the older API too, if there will be enough requests.
 XBMC support was tested with OpenELEC on Raspberry Pi.

 Lua and ARexx versions included.

 *NOTE* the ARexx version is now obsolete and isn't maintained anymore.
 Use the Lua version.


INSTALLATION
------------

 1) Copy multimeedio.lua to SYS:S/ (or to any other location you want)
 2) Edit player_exe and player_arg lines if needed


XBMC SETUP
----------

 1) Edit xbmc line(s) on the script. Normally it's enough just to have xbmc_ip
    configured to your XBMC device's IP address
 2) Enable "Allow programs on this system to control XBMC" and
    "Allow programs on other systems to control XBMC" from Service settings
    on XBMC itself
 3) Enable TCP: device on your system. You can mount it on S:user-startup or
    mount it from the requester which is shown if you run the script without
    mounted TCP: device.


USAGE
-----

 LuaX multimeedio.lua <Play|Next|Prev|Stop|Pause|Random|Mute|VolUp|VolDown|
                       GlobMute|GlobVolUp|GlobVolDown|FS|Quit>

 Glob#? options will change global volume in MorphOS. Other options control
 individual programs.

 If no player is found STOP starts the default player. Any other command
 will start the default player with a custom option (like adding a dir to
 the player).
