Been lurking in this forum for year, but never posted. Dont really know why. Time to change!
Anyway: I love Mediaportal and the only thing missing is the ability to use a PPC or Smartphone as a remote control (I have got one of my HTPCs in one room with the main speakers in another room, the living room). Its a big fuzz running out of the room just to change song or lower the volume...
I know there are a lot of threads about this subject. No really good solution exists as far as I know.
Two thoughts:
Why dosnt VNC or remote desktop work? I remote control most of my computers with VNC from Windows Mobile, but the Mediaportal interface just dosnt show up. Is there any VNC server that I can get to show the GUI? Dosnt even work with the client on a standard PC...
Secondly and maybe most important: Sideshow is comming to Windows Mobile. It should be fairly easy to build a widget for doing some basic things? Or is widget communication one-way???
Thanks
