addition to btsco
Hi Guys,
I hacked together an addition to btsco which is totally unrelated to audio.
It basically converts the volume keys into X key events, so you can use your bluetooth headset to control presentations (slides). Is that something that would go into btsco? I would guess not, but if you guys think otherwise I'm happy to send in a patch. Otherwise I will just make an separate app. for just this.

please do a separate application for this. I like to switch the slides with my Bluespoon at the 22C3 in Berlin. This would be fun ;)
I still have the epox-presenter application laying around and someone might put the stuff for the SonyEricsson phones without HID in a similar application. All three input methods in one application would be great.
Regards
Marcel

That is an interesting idea. Yet another remote control protocol? We've got at least sco, ericsson+AT, HID, AVRCP. :)
Yes, make it a separate app and we'll put support for the other protocols in it too. We can also provide another delivery mechanism like dbus eventually.

I allready fingured that out with Marcel, I will put it into the epox-presenter app. for now.
BTW. I allready used my btsco-hack for a presentation at school today and the people where really amazed by me controlling the slides with my headset :-)

All software sucks equally, but some software is more equal.

cool.
too bad sco voice quality is so poor or you could also use it to amplify your voice as you give your talk. maybe esco isn't so bad but i haven't tried it.

we need a better name when I put it into bluez-utils. So please come up with some proposals.

Even using the EPoX Presenter and running around is quite amazing. The good thing of this device is the integrated laser pointer. The new ones are all HID based and so no "special" application is needed.

Yes I know, but for those of us who only do very few presentations everyonce in a while the headset solution is way more cost efficient :-)

PS: Maybe just getting a recent sonyericsson phone with builtin HID is the most efficient but thats a different story...

Marcel and others,
here is epox-presenter (originally written by Marcel!) with generic headset support...
http://www.mulliner.org/bluetooth/epox-presenter-0.3.tar.gz
It was just to easy to add so it had to be done right now!
Feedback is welcome!
