Add other buttons to media player #1386

Closed Bart274 closed 8 years ago

Bart274 commented 8 years ago

Hi, I was wondering if we could add other buttons to a media player, now that we have a universal media player etc. It would be great if we can use these buttons as well on the media player card. I want to use it to control my Fire TV and my Android TV Box completely from within HA. The suggested extra buttons are: UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, ENTER, BACK, MENU Both the frontend and the media player entity would need to be changed for this

Could be useful to be able to customize them, for example someone might want just "record" and "tv guide" buttons. :-)

Some sort of remote component would be nice. Then we can develop skins for the card based on the real remote?

if we would have a remote component, we would be able to configure remotes for a lot of stuff instead of just media players (like ac, lights, tv,...)

I made a first try of this remote component, the code is located here: https://github.com/Bart274/remote/ I didn't create a branch in my home assistant repo because I don't have access to my notebook right now so I can't test my code for the Travis CI build. For the fire tv remote, we would also have to wait until @happyleavesaoc merges my PR in his repo: https://github.com/happyleavesaoc/python-firetv/pull/2
