Remote control

==============

This is a simple remote control program, intended to allow to run specific

(configured) commands, on the computer where the server runs, from a device

where the client runs.

Both client and server uses twisted to communicate, so python and twisted are

necessary on both. 

Server

======

The server reads from the `shellserver.cfg` file in the directory it was started from.

The main section is the [commands] one, which list the available commands by name, e.g:

```

[commands]

tv=

```

to each command must correspond a section of the same name:

```

[tv]

command=vlc some_internet_playlist.m3u

```

Commands can define parameters the user will be able to input from the interface.

```

[commands]

my_command=str,

```

will automatically add a TextInput on the line of the command button, and the

value will be passed to the command. Currently, only `str` is managed, but it

can be extended if need arise.

If the config file is changed, the server will reload the it automatically.

Client

======

Client needs to connect to the ip/port of the server (server listen to port

1234 by default). When connected, the list of commands is retrieved, and the

buttons are created.

The client feature a mouse control, which works a bit like a touchpad, with

buttons to click on the right, and a slider to control sensibility on the fly.

Credits

=======

Remote Control uses:

- Twisted for the network management, which make things so much easier.

- Kivy for the client gui.

- autopy for cross plateform keyboard/mouse control on the server side.
