Zapper_1.0

DOCUMENTATION FOR ZAPPER

This site is intended as user documentation for the Zapper VDR remote control software for iPhone.



At the moment, I feel that there is no real need for "proper" documentation, as there is only one preference and the program offers only one page with buttons which do exactly what they suppose to do....

But for getting you running, here what you need to do for having the most expensive Remote Control in ya pocket:

• build or buy a Home Theatre PC
• install LINUX on it (most uber-cool operating system on earth besides Mac OS X)
• install VDR on it (the ultimate weapon for DVB-S/T/C)
• have it connected via WLAN directly to ya iPhone or via the Internet and EDGE/UMTS "indirectly"
• edit /etc/vdr/svdrphosts.conf to allow connections from your iPhones IP (you know, these four magic numbers?)
• restart ya VDR
• go to settings application on your iPhone
• open up "Zapper"
• enter either a hostname or the IP of your VDR
• launch "Zapper"

Done!!!!!!



If you have any questions or wonder what happens if you press the wrong button, e.g. if your car would eat your pets then or anything else, just contact me via thomas (at) herzogonline (dot) net.

And here to pimp my site some screenshots:

This is the fabulous main page of the application with the wonderfully styled metal look buttons (hail Adobe for your layer styles!):



And here the intuitive settings page. Be overwhealmed by the available options:
