Update Notes - 9-21-2024

• Added custom key remapping. You can now reassign keys to any button or combination of buttons supported by the browser.
• Updated Help page to read list of key commands based off of input mapping.

Here's an example of how this works:

inputMapping: # Optional. You can override the default keyboard commands here.
  volumeUp: q # For any key you override, the default key will be unassigned.
  volumeDown: a # The combos supported should be in lower-case; the keys supported can be found at https://github.com/madrobby/keymaster?tab=readme-ov-file#supported-keys
  power: shift+p, enter # Using + will require multiple keys to be pressed at the same time. Using , will assign multiple combos to the same function.
  # Important: the browser may have some reserved key combos that can't be overridden. If you're having trouble with a key combo, try another one.

The commands available to override are:

• 0
• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4
• 5
• 6
• 7
• 8
• 9
• channelDown
• channelUp
• help
• info
• mute
• power
• resetPicture
• scaleDownX
• scaleDownY
• scaleUpX
• scaleUpY
• setup
• toggleAutoScale
• toggleBezels
• toggleBezelType
• toggleBlur
• toggleChangeChannelNoise
• toggleClosedCaptions
• toggleNoise
• toggleOSD
• toggleRemotePairingCode
• toggleScanlines
• toggleShadowMask
• toggleShadowMaskType
• version
• volumeDown
• volumeUp

Read this first!

Get started quickly:

• Put the files in the root directory of a web server. For now we require serving out of the root directory.
• Visit index.html and it should load the example configuration.

Basic keyboard controls:

• M toggles mute
• Up / Down control channels
• Left / Right control volume

In the browser you need to un-mute when the page loads because of autoplay restrictions.

Edit the example configuration file (config.tvs.yml) and make it your own.
