The usage of ocf-tv
looks like:
ocf-tv [-h] [-H HOST] {connect,volume,mute,stop-tunnel,tunnel-audio}
If you provide no arguments to ocf-tv
the default behavior is that it will
start a VNC session to the TV. If you do not specify the host it will use the
TV by default.
ocf-tv connect
will open up a VNC window using xvncviewer
to the host.
The TV uses i3wm, a tiling window manager, so if you are
unsure of how to use it read the linked documentation.
If you'd like to just change the volume on the host, you can use the
volume
or mute
options to change the pulseaudio volume level.
ocf-tv volume 50
sets the remote volume to 50% (acceptable values in [0,150])
and mute
does what you might expect.
If you'd like to tunnel audio playing on your local desktop to the TV (for
example, so you don't have to manipulate YouTube over VNC), you can start
the tunnel via ocf-tv tunnel-audio
from any desktop, and similarly, use
ocf-tv stop-tunnel
to close the tunnel and resume local-only playback.
