Is it possible to start MediaPortal from my android phone using aMPdroid?
Thanks

z3us: I can answer yes and I have no idea to your question. Yes there are apps that let you start application on your home PC... does aMPdroid have that feature built in? I have no idea. So if DieBagger reports that aMPdroid does not have that feature atm, then u can do it the other way.

can i use this plugin with svn versions?

tks

Which svn versions? MediaPortal svn? I haven't tried but the backend apps SHOULD work with svn versions of MediaPortal.

Not yet, as this will require an additional program to run on the pc (a tray-application). It is one of the features though that I want to implement rather sooner then later. What you can do with the latest version is to wake your pc from sleep using Wake on Lan.

Hello... thanks for the plugin, looks very good.

However if've got one question: Is it possible to configure remote control especially of the TV server via Internet (i.e. if not connected to local Wifi)? I played around a bit with the configuration but didn't get it going. So is there a way?

If not, does anybody know a way (besides I-Phone solutions and 4TR, which i both don't want to use) for remote view of EPG and scheduling of recordings?

Best regards,

I can recommend External Access with W7 VPN - MediaPortal Wiki if you're running on W7. I wouldn't advise using the current tv-server solution over the internet since it has no authentication/encryption yet. It's one thing having it accessible on your local network, another if it's publicly available.

Hi Diebagger,

Maybe missed something here but I have version 0.7 installed and for me the WOL options is still greyed out (in the settings section you can access on the startup screen).

Unfortunate wording from my side, WOL is included in the latest code (svn) so it will be available in the next version (0.8).

:sorry:

If my tablet after a view minutes goes into power saving mode, aMPdroid lost the connection to the server.
If I do aMPdroid as an remote for MP the whole evening, this is not practicable.
Can You help?

malte you only have to redirect the ports on your router and configure a second client on your Android-Device with your external address over dyndns or your fixed external IP if you have.
i am using it that way, i have a client called MPS and a client called MPSdyn, the second i use from all over the world for reading and programming EPG, in the moment you need also a app like "WoL Wake on Lan Wan" to wakeup your PC if it is in standby.

Thank you, works perfectly... exactly the feature I was looking for!
