Hi folks,

this is my my new Anroid project. Its an remote for the MediaPortal.

following additional help from

oddfella (dark skin)
Thundercats (blue3 skin)
rolls1400 (coding)
BLiTZKRiEG (install doc)

Before posting a bug / question make sure to have the lastest version installed !

Server Installer:
Android Remote - MEDIAPORTAL

Actual APK file (05.02.2011):
https://mp-plugins.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mp-plugins/trunk/plugins/AndroidRemote/Release/MediaPortalRemote.zip

https://mp-plugins.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mp-plugins/trunk/plugins/AndroidRemote/Release/Install Android Remote.doc

Using the remote

So far following parts are working:

Server
------
Easy web server implemention
uses POST for commands (remote,playlist control)
uses XML via GET to send directory structures
uses GET to send files
doing thumbs for pictures and recscale images
reply HEAD requests

General
-------
Control up to 3 Mediaportal
Wake On Lan from the remote
switch off / hibernate etc. your MP from the remote
vibration feedback
show what actual playing on the main screen and pause / skip control
uses VLC to stream to the phone
send stack trace if app crashes

Pictures section
----------------
browse folders (MP shares)
display thumbs (threaded)
save to sd
open browser
send picture via MMS
slide show
random slide show

in fullscreen you can swipe left right in the directory
touch long for options

Music section
-------------
browse folders (MP shares)
browse MP database for artist,albums,songs
add title to playlist
play files locally
view playlist
remove items from playlist
clear playlist
save files from MP to phone
fast scroll bars
add whole folder (music dir) to playlist

Video section
-------------
browse folders (MP shares)
play files locally or in the MP

NowPlaying
----------
show actual title
show actual time
show actual cover
clear play list
delete one item

Remote
------
most functions as on my remote
set the power mode for power control
short push is sending WakeOnLan
long push will exti etc. the MP (see power mode)
volume buttons will do vol +/- of the mp
menu opens the keyboard

Main issues
------------
switch WIFI on (just msg now)
save files from Android to MP
progress task for downloads
NowPlaying list show actual / count of items on top bar
add gfx

Its fun to do some coding on an Android.

So far
