Web controller for Acdsee

Leave a comment

Last Updated or created 2023-02-06

UPDATE: 2023 It’s still working

I made a webcontroller for viewing images on a big TV.

Using a Acdsee instance with MCE Controller installed and a webserver.

https://tig.github.io/mcec/example_commands.html

Rate the picture 1-5, clear rating, slideshow start, escape, open/close image, zoom-in out and zoom-reset. Previous and next image fullscreen and delete/yes

Some used defined keys (see php file)

 if ($cmd=="I"){ $put="chars:+"; };
 if ($cmd=="O"){ $put="chars:-"; };
 if ($cmd=="R"){ $put="chars:*"; };
 if ($cmd=="Y"){ $put="chars:y"; };
 if ($cmd=="F"){ $put="chars:f"; };
 if ($cmd=="D"){ $put="delete"; };
 if ($cmd=="N"){ $put="right"; };
 if ($cmd=="P"){ $put="left"; };
 if ($cmd=="ENTER"){ $put="enter"; };
 if ($cmd=="ESC"){ $put="escape"; };

PHP Script for the buttons and creating the TCP packets for MCE.
