Free bluetooth remote control software for linux

GNOME Bluetooth control remoto (AKA GBTcr) It is meant to be a fast and functional remote control for GNOME Desktop working between a Sony Ericssons phone mobile (maybe others) and computer box using Bluetooth comunication protocol.
Main features:
- Realtime control by plugins for:
- Music player. (beep-media-player, xmms)
- Video player. (mplayer, totem, xine)
- Slideshow software. (ooimpress, magic point)
- Image Viewer. (gthumb, gqview)
- Mouse and Keyboard events.
- Nice and HIGgy GNOME gui GTK+ based.
- Notification Area Support (Tray Icon)

KDE Bluetooth Framework is a set of tools built on top of Linux Bluetooth stack BlueZ.
Our goal is to provide easy access to the most common Bluetooth profiles and to make data exchange with Bluetooth enabled phones and PDAs as straightforward as possible.
Enhancements:
- Exporting public includes to make other applications use of kdebluetooth.
- Fixed some bugs on kioslaves.
- Fixed kbluepin.
- Allow compiling with lastest openobex and bluez packages.
- Fixed compilation with gcc >= 4.1.
- Fixed configure script, warning user about missing headers.

Automated Revision Control System is used to automatically monitor remote and local git, subversion, CVS, and even rsync repositories.
It notices changes and updates the local and remote repositories almost automatically. It requires either git, subversion, rsync, or CVS, and can be used for Web site maintainance, backup, communications, and many other purposes.
Enhancements:
- This release generally works a lot better to the extent that the authors are starting to using it for everyday file syncing and backup.

Getcontrol project is a GNOME 2 multimedia frontend.
Getcontrol is a GNOME 2 multimedia frontend.
It aims to play DivX, DVD, MP3, Ogg, and Shoutcast streams,and also provide digital photo viewing, video conferencing, etc., all connected with your remote control and running on your TV out.
It relies on Gstreamer for multimedia playback.
Indeed even with a smart lirc configuration it was a real maze to launch any DVD player application, or even a simple XMMS.
My wife just turned crazy and was not able to use it. I realized that compared to a hardware player my remotelly controlled linux box was not so friendly to use.
Then i took my Anjuta IDE, some docs from gnome.org websites and started to develop my own coherent GUI for this multimedia box.
Enhancements:
- Releasing : getcontrol 0.1.7
- Divx : Divx playback from CDROM (mounting/unmounting/ejecting)
- Audio : MP3 streams supported with xml configuration file (bookmark)
- Control : Play/Pause/Stop/Mute/VolUp/VolDown supported
- Tasking : Pressing menu while watching movie suspend movie and go back to main menu. Movie can be restored from menu.
- Busy activities : Implemented a busy animation showing clearly to the user what is busy. (Inspired from Mac OS X(R))

File::Remote is a Perl module to read/write/edit remote files transparently.

SYNOPSIS

#
# Two ways to use File::Remote
#
# First, the function-based style. Here, we can use the
# special :replace tag to overload Perl builtins!
#
use File::Remote qw(:replace); # special :replace tag

# read from a remote file
open(REMOTE, "host:/remote/file") or die $!;
print while (< REMOTE >);
close(REMOTE);

# writing a local file still works!
open(LOCAL, ">>/local/file");
print LOCAL "This is a new line.n";
close(LOCAL);

mkdir("host:/remote/dir", 0755);
unlink("host:/remote/file");
unlink("/local/file"); # still works too!
symlink("host:/remote/src", "host:/remote/dest");

chown("root", "other", "host:/remote/dir/file");
chmod(0600, "host:/remote/dir/file");

#
# Next, the object-oriented style, if you dont want to
# mess with the builtins.
#
use File::Remote;
my $remote = new File::Remote;

# Standard filehandles
$remote->open(FILE, ">>host:/remote/file") or die $!;
print FILE "Heres a line thats added.n";
$remote->close(FILE);

# Create a new file and change its permissions
$remote->mkdir("host:/remote/dir");
$remote->touch("host:/remote/dir/file");

# Move files around
$remote->copy("/local/file", "host:/remote/file") or warn $!;
$remote->move("host:/remote/file", "/local/file");

# Read and write whole files
my @file = $remote->readfile("host:/remote/file");
$remote->writefile("/local/file", @file);

# Backup a file with a suffix
$remote->backup("host:/remote/oldfile", "save");

# Use secure connection methods
my $secure = new File::Remote (rsh => "/usr/local/bin/ssh",
rcp => "/usr/local/bin/scp");
$secure->unlink("/local/file");
$secure->rmdir("host:/remote/dir");

This module takes care of dealing with files regardless of whether theyre local or remote. It allows you to create and edit files without having to worry about their physical location on the network. If a file passed into a function is of the form host:/path/to/file, then File::Remote uses rsh/rcp (or ssh/scp, depending on how you configure it) to edit the file remotely. Otherwise, it assumes the file is local and passes calls directly through to Perls core functions.

The nice thing about this module is that you can use it for all your file calls, since it handles both remote and local files transparently. This means you dont have to put a whole bunch of checks for remote files in your code. Plus, if you use the function-oriented interface along with the :replace tag, you can actually redefine the Perl builtin file functions. This means that your existing Perl scripts can automatically handle remote files with no re-engineering(!).

rmRemote project lets you remote control xmms with a REALmagic Remote. In the future it may be used to control everything in your house if you add the functionality.

RitmarkFS is an open source filesystem storage engine for MySQL server. Using this engine you can work with filesystem on the server using SQL queries. RitmarkFS allows you to access common file attributes such as name, extension, path, size. RitmarkFS is also possible to access raw file contents.
