BUTTONEVENT structure for classical remote keys (volume, power, ok, return, pause, play, forward, rewind, directionnal keys, num pad)
ZAP structure to send a channel number in 1 request.
APP structure to launch special function of the decoder (mosaic, tv guide, vod, replay, recording, media center, settings)
SETVOLUME structure to set the volume
KEYBOARD structure to type when inside input field

Info commands (not yet implemented):
GETINFO and GETVERSION

in command line mode here is an example of command :
```sfrtvctl --host 192.168.1.100 BUTTONEVENT VUP``` # increase volume
```sfrtvctl --host 192.168.1.100 BUTTONEVENT NUMBER 1``` # type 1 on num pad (will change channel if watching tv)

ZAP

ZAP command is simple, it just take a number as second argument.

in command line mode here is an example of command :
```sfrtvctl --host 192.168.1.100 ZAP 180``` # will go to channel 180

APP

| RECORDING | List recorded shows |
| MEDIACENTER | media center (usb, network media) |
| SETTINGS | Decoder settings |

in command line mode here is an example of command :

SETVOLUME
==========

SETVOLUME command is simple, it just take a number between 1 and 100 as second argument to set volume.

```sfrtvctl --host 192.168.1.100 VALUE a``` # will type a in an input field


Library usage
=============

sfrtvctl can be imported as a Python 3 library:

.. code-block:: python

import sfrtvctl

A context managed remote controller object of class ``Remote`` can be
constructed using the ``with`` statement:

.. code-block:: python

with sfrtvctl.Remote(config) as remote:
# Use the remote object

The constructor takes a configuration dictionary as a parameter. All
configuration items must be specified.

| Key | Type | Description |
|---------|--------|---------------------------------------------|
| host | string | Hostname or IP address of the decoder. |
| port | int | TCP port number. (Default: ``7682``) |
| timeout | int | Timeout in seconds. ``0`` means no timeout. |

The ``Remote`` object is very simple and you only need the ``control(key, arg1, arg2)``
method. See tables above for more details about commands you can pass. You can call ``control`` multiple times
using the same ``Remote`` object. The connection is automatically closed when
exiting the ``with`` statement.
