is it possible with open pli 6 rc (on vu+ duo2) to execute scripts on the receiver by using the remote control ? if yes, how ?

Yep.. via hotkey...

Could you please provide some details about how exactly ? And can this also be done without using hotkeys ?

yes with ppanel

With hotkey it is much easier. Just put the sh in a directory and configure it.

i have script in /usr/script/do-something.sh

 

which i want to run with  long red

 

so i start hotkey select long red

 

how to navigate to /usr/script and select do-something.sh

 

???

Open Hotkey setting , press OK on "Red long" and then attache your script under "Shellscripts", then save

 

@littlesat: would not be better - if is /usr/script empty or not exist - display item Shellscripts always in tree and if user will open it, then there will be some as "place your script into /usr/script" ? It would be good help for this. Without it most users do not know, that this feature exist.

i rebooted Shellscripts now shows

and all my scripts

 

thanks

According to the code the script has to end with .sh (lower case!):

https://github.com/O.../Hotkey.py#L218

 

So you should be able to see it.

is there any reason why the plugin dont auto exit when its done its thing ?

 

you have to push exit on remote

To see if the script is finished...

 if i edit the Hotkey.py

 

can you tell me what line to edit and with what

 

to make the plugin auto exit

 

thanks

Why do you want to have it auto exit? Then you can't see if it was successful. And what are you trying to do with the scripts. Probably there exists a different solution.

It would be nice if we can decide if we want to have an auto-exit or not.
 
Some scripts doesn't output on screen, they just create a log file, or perhaps there is no need to check the output.
So it is not always mandatory to have the script exit blocked after running it.

 

It is even better to not have the script blocked at exit because then you can decide to block the script ending with it a "read -p "Press any key to continue"" the opposite way is not possible.

I want to make is smart... so please no config or so required. But still I did not get an answer what the script is doing and why auto close is required
