XBMC remote control script for streams

synopsis

Xopr needed a quick way of 'zapping' through the streams of the 30C3 congress (also see no nerd left behind), so he wrote a remote control for his OpenELEC (XBMC, but it might work on RaspBMC as well) to open a predefined stream with one keypress from within a console:

CCC OPENELEC remote

1. Room one
2. Room two
4. Room G
6. Room six
q. quit
n. Native
t. Translated
Input(native): _

code

It's a bash script and uses pproximately 20x10 characters so you can place it next to your stream schedule

#!/bin/bash
# IP address of Raspbian/OPENELEC/XBMC box
IP=192.168.2.11
# Base stream url where [KEY] and [LANG] are replaced
STREAM=rtmp://rtmp.streaming.media.ccc.de:1935/stream/saal[KEY]_[LANG]_hq
LANG=native
###############
if [[ $* == -h || $* == -? || $* == --help ]]; then
    echo -e "\tusage: $0\n\n\twill trigger openelec links for ccc\n"
    exit 0
fi
# print menu and save cursor (menu including input is 20x10 chars)
echo -en "CCC OPENELEC remote\n\n1. Room one\n2. Room two\n4. Room G\n6. Room six\nq. quit\nn. Native\nt. Translated\n\0337"
while [[ $key != "q" ]]; do
    echo -en "\0338" # restore cursor
    # Clear line and print previous entry
    echo -en "\033[KInput($LANG): $key"
    read -n1 -s key
    case $key in
        1|2|g|6)
            RESULT=${STREAM//'[KEY]'/$key}
            RESULT=${RESULT//'[LANG]'/$LANG}
            wget -q "http://${IP}/jsonrpc?request={%22jsonrpc%22:%222.0%22,%22method%22:%22Player.Open%22,%22params%22:{%22item%22:{%22file%22:%22${RESULT}%22}}}" -O /dev/null;;
