Stb

Automated Control & Testing Library for Set-Top Boxes

⚠️ This package has been superceded by stb-automator.

Stb allows you to issue commands to your set-top box (or whatever device you're controlling that takes in IR). It can then analyze the behavior of the device by inspecting the video output (using image recognition and OCR).

Installation

Stb requires OpenCV and LIRC to be installed already on the given system in order to work properly. LIRC works best with Linux, but there are ports to macOS and Windows.

Install GoCV

See the Getting Started page on GoCV's website for installation instructions for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Install LIRC

For Linux:

• Your package manager likely already has it i.e. for Ubuntu, sudo apt install lirc.

For macOS:

• See the port of LIRC on MacPorts.

For Windows:

• See winLIRC.

Install stb

Now stb can be installed like any other go package with the following command.

$ go get -u github.com/eugenetriguba/stb
