What on earth for???
I’ll tell you what for! (the lolz)
No really, what for?
Umm… how about umm .. for scheduling crazy cron jobs?
use papaltv to check up on your kids tv
if test `papaltv --cmd np |grep -o pr0n` == pr0n; then
echo 'big brother sees you' | /usr/local/bin/sms_gateway `cat ~/kidsnums.txt`
fi
use papaltv to annoy your wife
if test `papaltv --cmd np |grep -o "gossip girl"` == "gossip girl"; then
if test $(( $RANDOM %= 200 )) < 80; then
papaltv --cmd stop
sleep 20
papaltv --cmd cd /Settings/General
sleep 5
echo 'hahahahahah'
fi
fi
use papaltv to please your wife
NOTE: not actually possible
while test `papaltv --cmd np |grep -o "gossip girl"` == "gossip girl"; do
sleep 5
done
~/speech_synthesis "well wasn't that one a diffy"
sleep 30
~/speech_synthesis "uhuh?, oh yeah I know"
sleep ((60 * 90))
~/speech_synthesis "wow, that was an interesting story about your day. thanks dear."
or… just use it when you lose the tiny remote.
Want more??? Prepared to sell your soul?
Well now.. have I got a deal for you. I’ve included an example class which tells papaltv how to find your media collection so that you can even start shows by name.
… but… you have to code your own script. I’ve kept that crazy stuff out of the main papaltv module, but it’s included in the extra - more evil module evilpope… no, wait: popeville. Yes… Good… Goood.
