Customizeable commands (dummy items)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It is not really an issue, but it would be handy (in my opinion) that you
can make customizable commands behing a button.

For instance, i have a transcoding PC wich is in another room then were my
PS3 and TV is.

To this PC there is no monitor or keyboard attached, so after watching a
movie i have to shut down the PC by logging on with my laptop and shutting
it down.

It would be handy if you could make a dummy video behind wich you can make
a command.

Like: sudo halt

This will show up as a Video with the name "Shutdown Computer".

If you can customize these commands then you would be able to control the
most funniest things with your PS3 ;)

I've written about this on the mailing list:

Shutting down your pc is easy, but depends on your OS: for windows it's the 
command
"shutdown /s"
If you do Start -> Run -> "shutdown /s" and press OK, your computer will 
shutdown.

This is also easy to do in Java (the language PMS is written in):
  Runtime.getRuntime().exec("shutdown /s /t 60");

I've added these lines in the "addVideoSettingssFolder()" function in the 
PMS.java
file on my computer:

vf.addChild(new VirtualVideoAction("Remote Shutdown", true) {
                public boolean enable() {
                    try {
                        Runtime.getRuntime().exec("shutdown /s");
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                    return true;
                }
            });

This adds another function in the "VideoSettings" folder, which shuts down the 
pc.
(should logically be put somewhere else and needs a check for OS, linux has
'poweroff' for example, but usually needs SU, not sure about mac)

Possible improvements here are:
- Make it work on linux and mac too (check which OS, issue appropriate command)
- Maybe think about where this is best situated, VideoSettings might not be the 
best
place.

Sorry about being a newbie, but I would like to know were I can find that 
PMS.java 
file in my computer...
Thank you in advance!

This only works if you download the source, edit it and then compile and run 
that.
(sorry!)

It's a bit tough explaining how to do that if you have never programmed before 
and
providing .class or .jar files isn't polite in regards to the developer(s?) 
here.

This is merely a suggestion for the developer of this software, maybe it will 
show up
in the next version? Maybe post in the forum thread about this
(http://ps3mediaserver.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=37) to get them to add it.

Waou, I'm impressed by the speed of your reply!
Thanks but indeed I have ,ever programmed and I do not need that feature so 
desperately to start now!
However I do believe it would be useful so I'll post in the thread you 
mentioned!

I have just been playing with the code...and I made my version of Custom 
Commands :P lol

first I used the code form johannes and adjusted it a little:

            vf.addChild(new VirtualVideoAction("Custom Command", true) {
                public boolean enable() {
                    try {
                        Runtime.getRuntime().exec(PMS.getConfiguration().getCmd());
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                    return true;
                }
            });

Then I added a set and get function in PmsConfiguration.java like this:

    public String getCmd() {
        return getString(KEY_CMD, "cmd");
    }
    public void setCmd(String value) {
        configuration.setProperty(KEY_CMD, value);
    }
u must also define String KEY_CMD in PmsConfiguration ie like this:
private static final String KEY_CMD = "custom command";

finally I needed to add a text field to GUI so I adjusted FoldTab.java like 
this:

private JTextField cmd;

and then in build() function...

       cmd = new JTextField("" + configuration.getCmd());
       cmd.addKeyListener(new KeyListener() {

        public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {}

        public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {}

        public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
                configuration.setCmd(cmd.getText());
            }
          });
       builder.addLabel("Command Line:",  cc.xyw(1,  16, 3));
       builder.add(cmd,          cc.xy(4, 16));

I hope we'll see something like that or better in the upcomming releases ;)
ps u can also add multiple commands in one line using cmd /c and &-sign for 
example
if u want to open windows explorer and calculator u then type "cmd /c calc & 
explorer"

I forgot to add what this gui code will do...it will add a text field in
Navigation/Share Settings under "Hide transcodeing engine names" called "Command
Line:" where u can enter any command(s) that will be executed when u select 
Custom
Command option from Video Settings in XMB

New position for command line input field is:

       builder.addLabel("Command Line:",  cc.xyw(1,  22, 3));
       builder.add(cmd,          cc.xy(4, 22));

Post it to the forum, I think that more people will read your question than 
here.
Also definetely this place is not for asking but posting bugs etc.
That's all what I wanted to say. Better chance is checking forum and asking 
there.
For applying patch use TortoiseSVN...more in forum

If someone is doing this.. it would be nice if you can set several custom 
commands. 

I'd like some that changes PMS configuration files.. and thereby be able to 
switch between settings from the XMB (by restarting PMS with new config).

I'd might like to 4-5 different settings.. so mulitple commands +1

Closing as this won't be done in core and is easy to do with a new or existing
