---- DEPRECATED SOFTWARE ----
xjadeo can be remote-controlled by OSC or MQ;
remote-synchronization is also possible using netjack.
using xjadeo-rcli is highly discouraged.

this is a quick hack to experiment with xjadeo remote control.
jadeo-rcli is a Command Line Client xjadeo, that generates remote commands
to be piped into a 'xjadeo -R' instance.
eg. ./xjadeo-rcli | ../../src/xjadeo/xjadeo -R
xjadeo-rcli connects to a local time source (jack or MIDI) and generates
'seek <frame>' messages to stdout. It is a crude way to forward sync
information from one host to another. I've been using a small script
'rjadeo.sh' to start a xjadeo on a local display of the remote-host:
rjadeo.sh: (on remote host)
--------8<-------
#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=:0
exec ~/xjadeo $@ &>/dev/null
-------->8-------
./xjadeo-rcli | ssh <user@host> ~/bin/rjadeo.sh -R <file>
This does not require the remote hosts to run a jackd, but gets you a
monitor screen in sync with your local jack transport or MTC.
With TCP or even SSL overhead, the latency is unpredictable, but
even on a cheap system acceptable: playing at 25 fps, I got less than one
video frame skew when transmitting to 2 remote hosts simulaneously
on a local 11Mbit/s wireless!
However if you want to have an accurate synchronization use netjack.sf.net to
sync transport of the jackd's via UDP.

jadeo.c:
this is a proof of concept code. much of the code is hardcoded.
edit jadeo.c for your needs..
* it outputs some hardcoded remote-commands to initialize the xjadeo
* connect to local jackd or MIDI TC source. and generate
'seek <frame>' messages if the frame changes.
* read from <stdin> and echo lines to <stdout>. allows to
insert custom remote commands.

using the 'seek' remote command to play a movie is not an intended
feature of xjadeo! Neither is the concept of passing sync info like
this. However it may come in handy..
