HomeVisionXL Remote Plug-in
The remote plug-in allows other plug-ins to run on a different computer than
the computer running HomeVisionXL. The remote plug-in runs as a normal
plug-in of HomeVisionXL. The client computer runs a tool called
hvplugin. You need the hvplugin executable that matches the operating
system of the client computer. This may be different from the operating
system of the computer running HomeVisionXL.
Follow these steps to run a plug-in on a client computer:
- Start HomeVisionXL and go to the plug-in manager.
- If necessary, donwload the remote plug-in and the plug-in you want to
run on the client computer.
- Enable the remote plug-in. (You don't have to enable the plug-in for the
client.)
- Shut down HomeVisionXL
- Obtain the remote plug-in client executable from the
download page.
- Copy the remote plug-in client executable, the HomeVisionXL resource file
(homevision.ini or ~/.homevisionrc, depending on your operating system), the
client plug-in, and any files the client plug-in may need to the client
computer.
- Restart HomeVisionXL.
- Rename the homevision resource file to hvplugin.ini.
- Start the remote plug-in client executable on the client computer.
- If all is well, the plug-in will start on the client computer.
Note: the remote plug-in client has only been tested with the control plug-in.
