[QUOTE="Big_Kev, post: 202160, member: 52102"] [b]New Version 0.2.0.04[/b] Just because you asked for it j1nx... This version contains the first test of the "Remote Control". The first component of this is the TCP server for the Keystrokes. After you have finished installing this version, you will find a file called MPKeySvrSetup_0_0_1_01.exe in the application directory. This file is the installer for the TCP Keystroke server. You need to install this on the machine that will be running the MediaPortal client. This can not be a service as it has to interact with the desktop, so it runs as a tray or notification application - you will see an icon in the tray when it is running. You can right-click this icon to configure the listening port that is originally set to 50510. Now go to the manager program and go to the Web Interface page. You will see a place to enter the port number of the keystroke server (initially defaults to 50510), and the address of the PC running it (this could be "localhost" if the web server and MP Client are on the same PC). Underneath that is a grid showing command names and Key strokes. These are completely configurable, I have just added some to get things started. When the command in the Name column is submitted to the web server "remotecommand" page, the keystrokes on the right are sent to the MediaPortal client. A full list of abbreviations for virtual keys (like the arrow keys, enter, function keys etc) can be found on MSDN - just go to Microsoft website and search for "SendKeys". Just for fun, you can go to another PC (not the MP client PC) and fire up Hyperterminal, you can connect and send keystrokes directly - just type in "{up}" for the up arrow etc. (you will need to configure to send a line feed / carriage return after each line). When you go to the web interface, you will find a new page - remote control - this has a very basic remote with the bare minimum of buttons.... but you will get the idea. The Key Server looks for the first instance of a form with the words "Media Portal" in the window title. If you have the manager program open on the Client PC, it may find that instead - so make sure nothing else is running with "MediaPortal" in the window name. I have only tested with IE7 and XPpro.
