This class can send commands to a Vudu set top box (BX100 or VBX1000).

It can connect to the IP address and port of a Vudu set top box and send several types of commands.

Currently it can send commands to power on or off, play or pause, scroll or other commands to mimic the VUDU remote control, formatted as XML.

The class returns whether or not the transmission of the command was successful.

Details

This class provides a method to control a VUDU set top box using XML over a
socket.

It is very easy to use - all available commands are listed in an array in the
class and the action function handles each one.

Note:
This was created after viewing the downloads for Duet remote control for VUDU.
