# PHPTv

A Command-Line Remote control for Sony Bravia Android TV written in PHP.

It was one of those evenings where I could not find the fu****g remote for my TV. So instead of doing the work I'm supposed to do. I decided to procrastinate by writing this little program that allows you to control your Sony Android TV over the command line.

## Installation

If you are using composer you can make use of global packages.

```sh
$ composer global require mario-deluna/phptv
```

Make sure that you have exported the vendors bin path:

```sh
$ export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin"
```

You can also just download and use the prebuild `.phar`.

```sh
$ wget https://github.com/mario-deluna/PHPTv/blob/v1.0.1/phptv.phar?raw=true -O phptv.phar
```

And if you trust me, add it to your bin dir.

```sh
$ sudo chmod a+x phptv.phar
$ sudo mv phptv.phar /usr/local/bin/phptv
```

### Setting up the Pre-Shared Key (PSK)

1. Go To "Settings" > "Network" > "Home network setup" > "IP control"
2. Set "Authentication" to "Normal and Pre-Shared Key"
3. Choose a "Pre-Shared Key". (Default is 0000)

Now you should be ready to use the remote.

## Usage

To start the remote just enter `phptv `.

```sh
$ phptv 192.168.1.42 0000
```

Remote key controls:

```
------------------------------------------------------------
| key | action | description |
============================================================
| ← | Left | Navigate left |
------------------------------------------------------------
| β†’ | Right | Navigate Right |
------------------------------------------------------------
| ↑ | Up | Navigate Up |
------------------------------------------------------------
| ↓ | Down | Navigate Down |
------------------------------------------------------------
| ↡ | Confirm | Enter / Confirm |
------------------------------------------------------------
| ⌫ | Return | Go Back / Return |
------------------------------------------------------------
| c | Command | Opens the command prompt. |
------------------------------------------------------------
| f | Forward | Enter the forward raw commands mode. |
------------------------------------------------------------
| g | Home | Go Home. |
------------------------------------------------------------
| p | TogglePower | Turns the TV on / Off |
------------------------------------------------------------
| m | Mute | Mute / Unmute the Tv. |
------------------------------------------------------------
| b | VolumeDown | Turn down for what? |
------------------------------------------------------------
| n | VolumeUp | Turn up the Volume |
------------------------------------------------------------
```

## PS

This is an absolute "just for fun" and "because I can" project. You will be off much faster just using the normal Remote. I still hope you like this little goof.
