Miho is an open source PC remote control. It implements input controls. The goal is to make it easier to use certain PC functions when keyboard and mouse is too inconvenient (such as when connected to a TV).
The driver implements the protocol and executes the commands (e.g. actually moving and clicking the mouse). There is also a command-line program to run the driver without requiring any kind of interface.
The actual "remote" part is implemented by a client app, located in a separate project:
- Android:
miho-client-android
The name is a reference to Miho Noyama, a character from A Channel. I won't explain the joke, if you wanna understand, go watch it. Or not, I'm not your mother.
Miho is currently not only prototype-quality, but also very much insecure. Specifically, the protocol is raw and unencrypted, which carries risks. I do plan to encrypt it soon, but right now that has not yet happened.
- Simple mouse move and button control
- Extensible protocol and architecture
- Stubs for testing without really affecting the host or requiring platform support
- Client library (again for testing)
- More stable error handling
Right now there's a lot of assertions for protocol-related things that the client is expected to get right. These need to be translated to proper error handling (probably by just terminating the connection, maybe with a diagnostic for client debugging).- Most of the assertions have been removed, and there's a much better error handling system now. There's still a couple of assertions for parts of CBOR that I haven't yet implemented, but they are still handled.
- More options for running from command-line (e.g. port)
- SSH transport layer
- Begin more user-friendly interface (will be separate project)
- Keyboard support
- App-specific drivers (e.g. browser plugin for Soundcloud)
- IME for client-side auto-complete (etc.)
- Linux support
