New Plugin: Pocket PC Remote for MP

[MrSensitive]

Silverlight for windows mobile 6 is in an early alpha... I saw a demo somewhere..

Codeshack:
you should really go trough the MPBlue code, a lot of the communication issues have been adressed there already..
feel free to use any of it in your project..

I implemented visual feedback using UDP in combination with Webservices.. (UDP just broadcasts a bunch of properties, if the nam of the song chages, i use a webservice to fetch the coverart image etc..)

I think this could be enough to navigate in MP with the pda. A nother opinion is the CaseDisplay. Is it possible to get these information (and more) to the pda ?

Take a screenshot and shrink it to that resolution, its not really readable.

Just thought I'd add my two penneth!.... just found this plugin, fantastic work so far and has saved me forking out for another usbuirt for the upstairs htpc!

Works great on my Orange SPV M700 running Windows Mobile 5.0

Keep up the good work....

btw I agree with all the comments about feedback/two way system so info about what's currently playing could be shown on the pocketpc.... that would be great!

Hello, i'm interesting by this plugin. I have a question:
does it work with mediaportal 0.2.3.RC2 or i must install with mediaportal 0.2.2.0

Keep up the good work.

I have an other question. This plugin can display the cover of my album. It would be great if it works.

unfortunately it dosen´t seem to work, i tested today and i can´t retrieve the music.
Anyone else that can confirm?

have had the same problem, listen process doest not start after RC2 install, any ideas?

Ok, couple questions. I have been using MPBlue with 0.2.2.0, haven't gotten around to upgrading and don't want to for fear it will break communications. MrSensitive, have you given up on MPBlue? If so, I'll start getting into this project, however it sounds like there are some issues with RC2, and I just saw RC3 coming out.

I was following the development of MP Blue for a while and now I've been looking into this plugin as well. After I looked through all the posts, I've done a little reading on Silverlight and since it is still not supported by PocketPCs I was wondering if it would be of greater benefit and easier to change the direction of remote controlling MP (be it from a PocketPC or even a mobile) to focus on the (now in limbo) WebInterface. Most of the things I've read that people want (including myself) could be implemented through a web service and accessed by most devices that have a modern browser, without resorting to proprietary coding for each device.

atsakir, agree with you, a web page is the way to go.
It must be customized to have a workable page for small devices & must not rely on java flash, js, ... or 2 different versions...
Easy things in mplayerc (included as is)), let 's you play stop & so on.

It would be good to have full interface like the Mediportal icons as nice choices in the page , when clicking, it d open the Mediaportal part (my pictures or so on), based on the same pictures as from the different skins (or resized images...)

dreaming dreaming... but d really 'd like this! (did you alerady see proximis netremote?)

Hi all.

Looks like a nice plugin.

Does anybody know if it work on RC3?
