PYERIR -> Do not use this branch!, go to: Win_get_IR_codes

About

Simple fullscreen player for m3u files(IPTV:tv:). It works in Raspberry pi 4 with Python3.9. It can get the IR code from (any?) IR remote control.

++++

This project is a small example of wxpython for the GUI, threading for getting the IR codes, using wraper vlc library, gpio pins and the m3u_parser library for parsing the m3u files and pyttsx3, a text-to-speech conversion library in Python.

It has two types of notifications: wx.adv(OS notification) and popup windows.

Enjoy it and I would like to know if you have used it, thanks.

*Not testing with other python versions.

Features

• Play channels in fullscreen, doing streaming from url in a m3u file.
• Changes volumen.
• Shows list of the channels.
• Speech some information.
• Works in raspberry 4.

First step: Installation of dependencies

Start the pigpio daemon

Install the pigpiod libraries

$ sudo pigpiod

pigpiod libraries

Using

$ python[3.9] pyerir.py [-v | --version]  [<m3u_file_name>] [--debug]

Parameters:

• [-v | --version] shows script version.

Necessary:

• Work on raspberry pi.
• Visual studio code.
• Python installed.
• Vlc installed.
