Simple question

Set up my mp with aero, took me a week but so worth it

I want to use my iPhone as remote for videos and music, I don't use it for tv at all

What's the best software/app I need to make this happen

Thanks

    I have to agree with the auther;)

    iPiMP is a very good nice, useful plugin.
    And it's not a plugin for the Ipod/Iphone, just a webpage in Safari
    Using it every day...

    And the support is very good.

    iPiMP lets you browse your music playlists and video database and play them on your client. Further music functionality will be added soon.

    If iPimp isn't what you are looking for, you could just set up a VNC server and use any of the iPhone VNC viewer software to control your whole pc.

    Many thanks for the answer. So far I've used Logitech's Harmony hub. This allows you to control all components (including the media portal). I have now contacted the Sofabaton hotline. It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...
