LANRemoteController

Remote controller for LAN

Description

Remote controller for LAN, based on kivy and PyUserInput .

Basic implement thought :

• Client : Send key combination information in LAN
• Server : Explain key combination information and excute key combinations

Things will work on all kinds of devices involved with keyboard.

Install

Dependency :

PyUseInput (needed by server)

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/PyUserInput/PyUserInput.git@d45f45ffbb2399d964eb515c887c493a1837c09d

we do not use master here to avoid dependency on pyHook for python3 on windows (not neccessary && convenient)

pypiwin32 (needed by windows server)

python -m pip install pypiwin32

this is used for windows server

kivy (needed by client)

see kivy official site

if --no-ui is given to server, then kivy is not neccessary

LRC

You can install LRC directly by pip :

python -m pip install LRC

Or install LRC from git:

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/davied9/LANRemoteController.git@master

All packages can directly get from here:

Distribution
