[QUOTE="Shukuyen, post: 980216, member: 74313"] Hey there, I am tinkering on a new feature for WifiRemote: [B]AV Receiver support[/B]. What's that good for? Some of you will control the volume of what you are watching through MediaPortal, but I am sure there are many user who have an AV receiver for that. This means you can't control the volume with CouchPotato, Ampdroid or any other WifiRemote client, but you have to grab your AV receiver remote and use that. This I want to change. [CENTER][IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3996208/WifiRemote/AVReceiver.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] With this new feature you will be able to select your receiver instead of MediaPortal in the WifiRemote configuration. Some things are required for that: [LIST=1] [*]Support for your receiver has to be coded into WifiRemote. At the moment we only support the Pioneer VSX-921 (and compatible), because that's what I have and what I can test. [*]The receiver has to be on the same network as the WifiRemote HTPC. [/LIST] The whole system is as flexible as possible, in theory we can expand it even beyond AV receivers like for example add support for TVs or beamers. Check out a short video demoing how the receiver is controlled via CouchPotato: [media=youtube]yxebtjw650A[/media] What now? [URL='https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3996208/WifiRemote/WifiRemote_AV_Alpha1.zip']You can download a test version and check it out for yourself[/URL]. If you have a receiver that you think should be integrated please send me all the info you have (Model, documentation of the network interface, ...). It will probably be hard to add new receivers as testing will involve sending many test versions, but I don't know of a better way. Or you can implement it and submit a patch, have a look at my svn branch here: [url]https://code.google.com/p/wifiremote/source/browse/#svn%2Fbranches%2FHardwareController[/url] Let me know what you think!
