I've been able to get the roku module working on pythonista! I briefly had a problem when it required lxml, but it seems to work just fine if I replace
from lxml import etree
With
from xml import etree
I've been able to successfully connect to my roku with my iPad and act as the remote (up, down, left, right, select) more to come!
Script to type on the keyboard using up/down/left/right:
# coding: utf-8
import roku, time
r = roku.Roku('192.168.1.110')
keylist = [
['a','b','c','d','e','f','g'],
['h','i','j','k','l','m','n'],
['o','p','q','r','s','t','u'],
['v','w','x','y','z','-','\''],
[' '],]
keymap = {}
for y in range(len(keylist)):
for x in range(len(keylist[y])):
key = keylist[y][x]
keymap[key]=(x, y)
def type(string):
for l in string.lower():
x, y = keymap[l]
for _ in range(x):
r.right()
for _ in range(y):
r.down()
r.select()
for _ in range(x):
r.left()
for _ in range(y):
r.up()
while 1:
type(raw_input())
It was designed for the YouTube app's size keyboard. Resets the cursor to 'a' every time, but the version that didn't failed miserably. Still experimental.
