Accessing the remote control function from your desktop
By Riad
Using the Windows operation system, I needed to send remote control
codes/presses via the LAN to control the Dreambox:
1. Download WGET for Windows and place it in C:\ (google is your friend)
2. Lunch a command prompt window (CMD) and type:
C:\wget.exe –quiet –delete-after http://ipofyourdmbox/cgi-bin/rc?X
(where ipofyourdmbox might = 192.168.1.3)
By replacing X with the correct code number,
the wget command will send a remote control
key press/code to the Dreambox. The flag –quite will make the
command silent, and –delete-after will make wget not write any files to C:\
Here is a list of remote command codes:
116=Power
2=1
3=2
4=3
5=4
6=5
7=6
8=7
9=8
10=9
158=previous
11=0
159=next
115=volume up
113=mute
402=bouquet up
114=volume down
1=lame
403=bouquet down
358=info
103=up
141=dream
105=left
352=OK
106=right
392=audio
108=down
393=video
398=red
399=green
400=yellow
401=blue
385=tv
377=radio
66=text
138=help
The above method can be used in many situations, but the way I use it
is with IR Server Suite to control my Dreambox from a different room using Media Center PC.
