Is this Possible? Controlling IPTV/Freeview
View

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
I'm using the freeview/iptv that comes with my internet at Uni (through safari/firefox). I would like to set up the apple remote to control the buttons you can see in the image below.

Each button uses javascript or something, i'm not too sure: here is a link from one of the buttons:

javascript:window.iptv.ChangeChannel(+1);ChangeChannelImage();

how would i go about setting this up or is it possible?

Thanks for asking.

I don't think this is possible - for technical reasons.

Javascript is executed in the respective browser's context and I 
wouldn't know of a way to inject Javascript into a running web app 
from outside.

What would be a possibility, though: 
If that web app reacts to key presses (f.ex. + / - for channel / 
volume change), you could have RB emulate keypresses and send them to 
the browser.

If the web app does not support key presses for navigation, yet, and 
you know who is writing that software, don't hesitate to contact them 
and ask them, if they could add that feature. It should be a rather 
easy to add and certainly also of great use beyond just your case.

Best regards,
