<h1>How to use anyRemote</h1>
<p>To run anyRemote frontend execute command:
<ul type="disc">
<pre class="screen">
<span><strong class="command">ganyremote</strong></span>
</pre>
</ul>
for Gnome or
<ul type="disc">
<pre class="screen">
<span><strong class="command">kanyremote</strong></span>
</pre>
</ul>
for KDE
</p>
<p>
<p>
<table style="text-align: left; width: 700px;" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: center; text-align: left; width=80%;" colspan=4>
After startup anyRemote icon will appear in the tray. To open main window choose "Restore" tray menu item. It is possible
to specify <b>-o</b> option to open main window at startup. Upon startup frontend will scan all found configuration files
and show list which will looks like picture below.

<td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; width=20%;"><img style="" alt="tray icon and menu" src="data/ganyremote-tray.png"></td>

<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; width=100%;"><img style="" alt="main window" src="data/ganyremote1.jpg"></td>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Status column shows does particular application runs on PC or not. Frontend will rescan application activity each minute (can be changed in
preference window).
<p>To run anyRemote it needs just to double-click application name. Alternatively it is possible to use tray menu items Execute/Stop, or
File->Execute/Stop menu items in main window.
<br>
<p>In preferences window (see below) it is possible to specify locations of configuration files, filters and tune
various parameters.
<table style="text-align: left; width: 700px;" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; width=100%;"><img style="" alt="main window" src="data/ganyremote3.jpg"></td>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>To use anyRemote GUI it needs to have at least one element in "Directory" list. In normal situation frontend will find
location of configurational files automatically.
<br>
<table style="text-align: left; width: 700px;" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: center; text-align: left; width=60%;">By default frontend
will scan for BT devices each minute. Found devices will be marked as
<i>"Available"</i> in list. To be detected an BT device must be in <b>discoverable</b> mode. If new BT device will be detected, then
<i>Device Detail window</i> (see below) will be shown automatically.
</td>

<td style="vertical-align: center; text-align: left; width=60%;"><i></i> In Device Detail window it is possible to
<ul>
<li>ping BT device
<li>verify will it works with anyRemote in AT-mode
<li>upload Java client to the phone
<li>configure anyRemote autostart in case of BT device will be found
<li>set configuration file which will be used by anyRemote if BT device will be found

<h2>If something goes wrong ...</h2>
<p>... be double sure that all software <a href="pre.html">prerequisites</a> are installed.
</p>
<h1>How to use anyRemote from command line</h1>
<p>By default anyRemote will search the following configuration files:
</p>
<ul>
<li>/.anyremote.cfg
<li>$HOME/.anyremote.cfg
</ul>
<p>You can specify another configuration file with <b>-f</b> option, for example:
<ul type="disc">
<pre class="screen">
<span><strong class="command">anyremote -f /...path_to.../xmms.cfg -s _connect_string_ </strong></span>
</pre>
</ul>
<p>See <a href="man.html">Man page</a> for details.
<p>
</p>
<p>You may find some predefined configuration files in:
<ul>
<li>cfg-data/AT-mode
<li>cfg-data/Server-mode
<li>cfg-data/Bemused-emulation
</ul>
directories.
<h1>Web interface</h1>
<p>It is possible to use anyremote2html package to organize web interface for anyRemote. With help of this
interface any device which contains web browser and which can connect to PC with anyRemote by IP (GPRS, Wi-Fi, ...)
could be used as remote control. Read for <a href="web.html">details</a>.
<h1>Logging</h1>
<p>By default anyRemote does not prints any logging information.
<p>It is possible to set <b>Log=false|true|debug</b> in configuration file or use <b>"-log"</b> command line option to allow
logging. By default all logging information will be stored in <i>$HOME/.anyRemote/anyremote.log</i> file.
This could be altered by setting <i>AR_TMPDIR</i> environment variable.
If <i>AR_TMPDIR</i> environment variable is set then logging information will be printed to <i>${AR_TMPDIR}/anyremote.log.${USER}</i>
</p>
<h1>Sound control with amixer</h1>
<p>If configuration file uses amixer utility to control sound volume and it needs to control non-default soundcard it is possible
to create file <b>$HOME/.anyRemote/amixer.card</b> with content like <b>"-c X"</b>, where X is number of sound card to control.
<p>If configuration file uses amixer utility to control sound volume and it needs to control channel different from <b>Master</b> it is possible
to create file <b>$HOME/.anyRemote/amixer.channel</b> with content equal to channel name to control.
