Post subject:  network remote control - list of commands

Hi all,

I want to integrate my MythTV with VoIP service based on SIP.
I already have callerID presentation via OSD, but it will be nice also to pause playing when somebody calls.
For this I plan to use network remote remote control.
Can somebody give me hint what commands are accepted by myth on network remote control port 6546 ?

thx in advance !

The "help" command should give you a list of all the commands.

The official mythtv wiki has a few pages with info.

turpie,

thx for info. I already found this info, but now I'm confused.
Provided by You info telling about telnet - which is telent based.
I'm looking for solution to remote controling MythTV from other aplications. Thats why asked about UDP remote control. Since telenet in TCP based - question is: are we talking about the same thing ?
In my initial imagination I was thinking that simple sending string to UDP port 6546 will be enough. Now I'm not shure.
Relevant perl code might look like this:

my $msg = "play\n speed pause\n";
print("connecting to $notifyaddr udp port 6546\n");
my $mythnotify_fh = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>"$notifyaddr",Proto=>'udp',PeerPort=>6546);
if ($mythnotify_fh) {
print $mythnotify_fh $msg;
$mythnotify_fh->close;
}

Well,

It looks like I totally mixed things and confuse this thread.
Ok - I checked Myth config and see that remote control has nothing with UDP. It is simple telnet interface !
Ok, I will use perl telnet module...
Sorry for confusion.
