Some days ago I was looking for a way to pass commands from terminal to control Rasplex from a Wiimote plugin. The wiimote plugin isn´t finished but I found this useful and though that it could help other people as I couldnt find it on any manual or wiki. Its a modification on the xmbc-send script, which works if you change the default port as it point to 9777 and RasPlex uses 9778 and passes GUI commands. This couldn´t help me as for example, the ENTER key sometimes work as SELECT and on fullscreen works as the PLAYPAUSE command, so I mod it to pass actual keyboard keys. Add it anywhere you want and make it executable with `chmod +x filename.sh` to run it as ./keyboard-send.py or run it with `python keyboard-send.py` You can run actions like: ./keyboard-send.py --action=“Enter” ./keyboard-send.py --action=“Escape” ./keyboard-send.py --action=“Up” etc With this you can easily make any kind of bash script or a new kind of controller ---
