Apologies for linking to a non-MP app or if this has been discussed elsewhere, but this Android Remote for XBMC looks very slick -
android-xbmcremote - Project Hosting on Google Code

Even shows incoming callers on the TV screen :)

Looks really really cool
And if live TV on the phone could be added in the future, it would be a killer MP plug-in

Control MP when you're home, Stream everything to your phone when you're away :eek:

this app for XBMC looks very nice.
if we could have something similar for mp that works on one of those many android tablet pc's (ipad knock offs, see ebay) then that would be awesome. i really like the design of those tablets.
it would be nice if you can see the cd album covers and radio channels on the tablet, then i don't need to switch on the tv to listen some music. for me personally there is no need to be able to watch movies and tvshows on the tablet.

    +1 tablet only needs to do music/radio and have a basic one way interface for navigating.... altho a tv guide might be usefull too.

    I also wanted TV on my android, so I fixed it using VLC.

    Index of /port/MP you can see the result here, it has a webinterface to select a channel, then VLC has to stream for 10 secs (which is faster then iPimp ;)).

    There is only one problem. It uses the RTSP protocol, but VLC won't allow me to choose the ports on which audio and video will be streamed. You can only give a startport (like above: 1234) but each time you start a stream, this port will be upped by three. So you have to open NAT ports 1234 to 5000 or more... or use VPN or use it only local (Wifi).

    If someone knows an answer to this problem, I can fix it and release MP HTTP-Stream. It can also stream your movies and music :).

    did you find a solution to your problem or do you mind to share anyways? I did not find any way to properly stream tv to my samsung galaxy tab yet. . .

    MP1 MP2 MP2 DLNA status? DE
    What I meant is that we have a MP2 plugin called UPnP Render that can play media from DLNA servers if I remember correctly. I don't know the current state of the plugin though. That's why MP2 probably never will be certified. ;) Yes, that was also the idea, but it is a big job as all TV's, software etc. seems to not do everything...

    P.S. - Strangely, the TV Server my single seat setup (1.27 on a modest machine running Windows 10 Pro x64) is working from my office machine MP client. Same exact network, firewall, Defender settings. It's a slightly older version of Win 10 though - I haven't updated to 20Hx on it yet. Maybe I shouldn't (or maybe I should image it...

    Hi, must be really a while, cuz I can not remember any post from you ;) But might be also that I joined the team too late. Yes, there will be many things. Main reason is simply, that MP2 is not developed based on MP1. I for example never used MP1. I tried it lately to test voice control and was shocked about many inconsistancies in...

    That's fun. I shattered my kneecap on one of those e-scooters. I'm terribly out of shape from the months of being bedridden. I didn't get fat, at least, but a walk in the park is not an expression of something being easy anymore.
