[QUOTE="sixgun, post: 794757, member: 71410"] I have developed a very simple website which provides basic control of mediaportal via the WifiRemote plugin. The reason I wrote it as a website is that I built myself a new HTPC for my new cinema room (converted garage) and didn't have a spare MCE remote. I have an iPad, so it seemed an obvious thing (to me) to use that to control my new HTPC. So, I looked into what was involved in writing an iPad app, but didn't fancy paying the $99 fee and buying an actual mac computer to write the software on. So, I figured a website was the way to go. Also, I have 3 other HTPCs which it'd br nice to control :) I have since found an MCE remote which works perfectly, so I no longer have a real need to develop the website further. Although it might be a fun project to take it beyond a simple remote. I'm thinking of something along the lines of the plex app, where I can use the iPad to scroll through / search my movie collection, and ask my HTPC to just play that file, without the need to look up at the main screen. I can see the iPad "becoming" the UI for mediaportal. But, as I say, I don't really need to do that to use my setup. Plus, I don't really have a lot of spare time. :( So I'd like to know if anyone would be interested in me putting my little (rough) creation on bitbucket (or somewhere similar), as a basis for another project.
