Human Interface Device (HID) file for MPlayer

This file enables remote controlling of MPlayer (the Linux movie player) over Bluetooth for SonyEricsson phones (maybe others too).

Download

Graphics is made from SonyEricsson’s original HID pictures by LÉNÁRT Dóra Anna.

Installation

pair your phone with your box
enable HID support in the bluetooth stack (Debian):

send the .hid file to the phone
- obexftp -b PHONE_BLUETOOTH_HWADDR_HERE -p mplayer.hid
start the remote control
- hidd –connect PHONE_BLUETOOTH_HWADDR_HERE (for the first session this is the only way)
- OR on the phone: Games&Entertainment/Remote Control/MPlayer
