====== Web Remote Control ======

===== How to Setup =====

See latest video: [[https://youtu.be/DHtS7-Owcdw|https://youtu.be/DHtS7-Owcdw]]

this is a WIP project. To get the files needed to test this use the following:

[[https://www.nailbuster.com/pupupdatesv14/popperwebremote_v1_4_6.zip|https://www.nailbuster.com/pupupdatesv14/popperwebremote_v1_4_6.zip]]

unblock and unzip contents of zip into root of pinupsystem.

{{:3068dff00902edb311c2d5c170f7cb16.png}} <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>By default</font>
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>go into "Modify script options" (above photo).  Tthe web-remote control is disabled. You must change the existing line and enabled it in system options</font>
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>:</font>
<code>

useWEB=true;   **make sure true is in lowercase.**

</code>
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>To register the remote/web server on your cab.</font>
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>There's a batch file called</font>
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>PUPServerRegisterCOM.bat you must run this by right-click run-as-administor. press yes.</font>
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>Windows will probably come up with warnings and such for the webserver. You will most likely need to setup as public so other computers can access.</font>
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>now you should reboot your computer.</font>
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>on next Popper Menu startup it will auto-start the webserver to listen for requests.</font>
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>to test, you can leave Popper running and alt-tab to chrome. in browser type in</font>

<code>
localhost

</code>
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>a page should come up. if a 404 error comes up you have problems….you've setup something wrong.</font>
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>if works, then next battle is to make sure it works from other computers on your network.</font>
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>some things to note: some wifi routers don't allow traffic between wifi and 'wired' pcs. So always good to test both.</font>
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>Ideally its good to try first the ip of the vpinball address. so in browser on other pc type the address into chrome:</font>

<code>
http://192.168.1.25

</code>
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>replace 25 with ip of vpinball, (or entire address if not using standard 192.168.1.x) you may also try just typing into chrome:</font>

<code>
http://vpinball/

</code>

and see if that works, if it does, then your remote control is all up and ready. Have Fun!
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>note: the webserver webserver is only running while Popper is running, closing Popper will close the webserver as well.</font>

//** <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>Troubleshoot: still not working with localhost?</font>  **  //
 <font 12.0pt/Calibri,sans-serif;;inherit;;inherit>make a shortcut to PUPServer.exe with parameters</font>  -wwwport 80 -sockport 8888

then try browser with localhost.

also check firewall to see if you fine PUPServer blocked or anthing like that.

===== Another different type of project using web-remote!!! =====

See project here: [[https://github.com/doogie2301/pinup-popper-browser|https://github.com/doogie2301/pinup-popper-browser]]

===== Have a Tablet or TV/Device with a browser built in? =====

There's another really neat idea. Where you can have a tablet or some TV hanging on wall showing some of the Popper Media (even during gameplay). For Example, you could have the instruction/help cards on an old Tablet in your hand. You don't need much except to point the device/browser to your vpin cab and specify which pupdisplay. It will refresh every few seconds to correct media.

Once you have confirmed web-remote is working from above. Then you can try this from any browser.
<file>

http://vpinball/pupLoop.html?pupid=2

</file>

note: you set the pupid to which pup screen you want to display/loop.

check if your wwwRoot folder has the puploop.html if not then grab the updated zip at top of this page.

===== How to Use =====

===== Programmers Reference =====

\PinUPSystem\wwwRoot the root home directory.

index.html is the default landing page.

note: this is a bare-bone-slim-down-totally basic www server… don't try anything fancy with it as it just won't work. NEVER use on a public internet facing computer.

Here are list of current URL (mimic rest).

PinUP Popper menu must be running in order for the Remote control to work…

<code>
http://vpinball/function/getcuritem

</code>

use this to get a json of all the info you can get of the currently selected item. fields should be self-explanatory.

sending emulated pupEvents to Popper

<code>
http://vpinball/pupkey/XXX

</code>

where xxx is a number of the putEvent ID. See list for all pupEvents IDs on bottom of this page.

<code>
http://vpinball/function/record/xx

</code>

where xx is the PUPDisplay# to record. 0-top, 1-dmd, 2-BG, 3=playfiled.

it is toggle to start… same event to stop.

<code>
http://vpinball/function/launchgame/xxx

</code>

xxx is the Popper GameID # to launch. it is launched in NON-record mode.

<code>
http://vpinball/function/launchgamerec/xxx

</code>

xxx is the Popper GameID # to launch. it is launched in recording mode.

<code>
http://vpinball/function/getdisplay/xxx

</code>

XXX is the # of the PuPDisplay will return a png or mp4 of the PUPDIsplay # 0=top,1=dmd…etc
