[QUOTE="Shukuyen, post: 1009140, member: 74313"] Hi rickd, WifiRemote is using a direct socket connection between client and server, not the HTTP protocol used by other webservices. This allows us to have an open connection between server and clients without any tricks, so we can deliver information and commands in both directions without polling and the like. So the short answer is you can't just call an URL and be done with it. Please have a look at the [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/WifiRemote']wiki[/URL] ([URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/WifiRemote/Commands']commands[/URL] and [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/WifiRemote/Messages']messages[/URL]) and at the [URL='https://code.google.com/p/wifiremote/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2FSources%2FDemoClient']DemoClient[/URL] (written in c#). That should get you going. Feel free to ask any questions or to extend the wiki if it lacks any information you find interesting. [/QUOTE]
