Example of toggling between two inputs on a Sony Bravia TV.

E.g. a Mac Mini HTPC on HDMI 1 and a Nintendo Switch on HDMI 2.

You're assumed to have set up a pre-shared key (PSK) per https://github.com/breunigs/bravia-auth-and-remote/.

It assumes it can call send_sony_tv_command.sh. Change the path if needed.

Example usage:

henrik

def stub_env(key, value)
  is_set_up_flag = "__stub_env_is_set_up"

  unless ENV[is_set_up_flag]
    allow(ENV).to receive(:[]).and_call_original
    allow(ENV).to receive(:fetch).and_call_original

    allow(ENV).to receive(:[]).with(is_set_up_flag).and_return(true)
  end

The only game I play on the Mac Mini connected to our TV is Cuphead.

I wanted the game to launch automatically when I turn on one of our Nimbus game controllers, which connect via Bluetooth.

This is how:

• Save the .scpt file below as e.g. ~/Library/Scripts/LaunchCupheadIfControllerIsConnected.scpt
  • In the .scpt, change "Nimbus" if your Bluetooth game controllers have some other name.
• Save the .plist below as e.g. ~/Library/LaunchAgents/henrik.launch_cuphead_if_controller_is_connected.plist
• In the .plist, change media to whatever your username is.

My notes from updating to El Capitan, as a Ruby/Rails developer working in VirtualBox/Vagrant.

VirtualBox and Vagrant

Our dev environment currently requires us to use older versions of VirtualBox (4.3) and Vagrant (1.7.1).

It seems the new "SIP" protection messes with that version of VirtualBox.

I tried upgrading VirtualBox (to 5.0.6) and Vagrant (to 1.7.4). Those seemed to run fine on El Capitan, but we rely on Chef v. 10 and Vagrant doesn't seem to get along with it (error: "invalid option: --force-formatter").
