Hello,
is there a plugin to control the mediaportal with a cell phone ? It would be realy cool if I could use my smartphone based on windows to control the htpc.

Well ive got a bluetooth dongle on my pc and can control any app including mediaportal

that sounds good, if you do not think of windows terminal client. Is it the terminal client ?

 

[flamezmack]

nope

 

[zippelmann]

okay, what is the name of the software ?

 

[flamezmack]

you dont need no software at all..as long as your mobile phone has remote control..alot of phones do

 

[zippelmann]

nice, but I don't understand how it works. Please tell me more, or give me a link where I can find more information about it.

Well 1stly..have you got a bluetooth dongle on your pc??..if you dont you need one...and what mobile phone do you have??...all the phones ive had have been
Sony Ericsson and all have had bluetooth remote control in the menu-entertainment-remote control(where you can find it if u have Sony ericsson)

I have a O2 XDA neo with windows mobile 5. I cannot find a remote control program installed on the smartphone. It seems to be a sony Ericsson freature.

It probably doesnt have it..heres a app you could try Bluetooth Remote Control - Bluetooth Remote Control turns your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone into a universal controller for Window.
