I am looking for a proper remote control, which can handle media players and such.
Does anyone know any?
Salling Clicker
+1 on Salling clicker, great compatibility, speedy, and if bluetooth doesnt work, you can also connect with WIFI (if your computer is connected to a wireless network)
and you can also download alot of extra scripts from the Salling forum.
saling clicker works great.
I use it for a lot of stuff. you can can controll powerpoint windvd winamp windows media player....
and you can add software you're self if the application you need it for isnt supported (yet).
I'm a happy user
Does it work on Vista x64?

Hi all. I seem to be having a little problem since I Flashed my latest 6.5 ROM. I use pocket player instead of windows media player, and always use a blue tooth stereo head set. any other time when I install pocket player, and am using it, my bluetooth controls work to control the track selection, pause, play make call funtion and so on... Now however, when I'm using Pocket player and hit something on my bluetooth head set, it automatically opens up windows media player. I really don't like WMP so this is really annoying. Can anyone tell me how to change what program is called up when I use my blue tooth. I can hear the music fine through the head set, it's just the controls that aren't working properly. Thanks anyone....

Conduit Pocket Player can do that after you download appropriate plugin
This has been fixed in version 4.1 of Pocket Player (well, it works for me anyway ).
I'm looking for a way to monitor my webcam from my phone. This webcam is USB connected to my PC. Currently I have Windows Media Encoder running and it works perfectly. From work I can open windows media player and point it to http://"IP ADDY":"port" and it works. Now how am I going to get this on my phone?
I do have the port forwarded in my router. Not that much of a newb.
good question ive been wanting to know this for a while myslef.
I don't believe the G1 will stream a Windows Media stream (heck it won't play a WMV file). You'll have to stream using a different format. If I remember correctly (and I might not), Orb offers webcam streaming that can be used with the Android Orb app.
try IP cam viewer, it might be compatible with your camera

goto market and search 'webcam' - you'll see 'IP cam viewer' by Robert Chou. It works with many many commercial webcams and the dev is the best at responding to questions and requests.
I would like to see an app that makes the Hero into a remote control for Spotify. It would be great to control the music from anywhere in my apartment without the need to walk over to my computer.
There is a similar app called Gmote that controls VLC video/music playback, so doing the same with Spotify should be a possibility.. I hope..
You could just have Spotify on your Hero and use headphones.
Found this:

Will test it when I get home from work, and give you all a review.
Works perfect on my Hero with MoDaCo 2.3, thanks for the tip
I got the opportunity to test Remotify this weekend, and it does exactly what it's supposed to.
There is a simple interface with play/pause, previous/next and Volume. The remote also shows you what song you are playing.
Setting up the remote is easy, as the server is a single exe-file, and you only enter the pincode for the server.
The remote itself searches for the server, so it's easy to connect.
Remotify is simple, and does exactly what it says.
Remotify with Donut (Android 1.6)
Is it still working for you guys under Android 1.6.
I can install client and server OK but the client side is frozen and the control buttons are unresponsive.
Thanks
For you windows guys we have just released a video demo of remoteless, An iPhone remote for Spotify on Windows.
It got search, browsing, volume-slider and all kinds of features. We are working on a mac port, but 1. march the windows version will be released.
Nice video demo on front page; http://bit.ly/a-less
ReSpot
ReSpot is a Spotify Remote control for android - probably the most feature rich remote for Spotify available.
Visit http://h3x.se for more info.
It requires a premium spotify account.
Does anyone know of any apps that you can remote into the gtab from another pc? like for instance with logmein you can remote from you gtab or from a computer to another computer and control the screen remotely. Wondering if anyone has found any app that can do that but from Computer TO gtab. Like control the gtab screens with your computer.
or even if someone knows of anything that can be used as a remote to control the songs playing or the volume on the gtab from say your phone or computer.
I know there is a program called webkey that i've used to control my droid from my pc not sure if that would work ill give it a try tonight on the gtab.
There's also Paw Server, if you can get that from Market.
If you just want to control music, there's a Gmote app. It's not a full on RDP type thing, but gives you controls for playing media that's on the Android device.
Jim
P.S. I would think that Webkey, that you mentioned, would also work.

Ill have to look into Paw Server, i know of gmote i use that all the time to control the music on my computer via my droid. I try my best not to store music directly on my gtab since the memory isnt too too big trying to save some room and there and not clog it up, but it would be awesome if i could control the songs playing say on pandora from my phone.
Hey guys,
I've been searching around for a while and can't find much of an answer... Everything points me towards running xbmc which isn't really what I want.
I want to run something like TVersity or mythTV on the RPI as a TV / PVR / Media server and probably a number of other things.
I can connect to it and watch / pause / record live TV wirelessly from my netbook / PC / tablet... but the XBOX 360 won't. It has the capability to do it with a Windows Media Centre PC but it doesn't even know the pi is there.
XBMC came from hacking XBOX so I was surprised I couldn't get this functionality even when I did run XBMC.
I know it'd be easier to just run XBMC and connect it to the main TV but it takes uses WAY more resources on the pi than just the servers alone.
Is there a program out there that will fool the XBOX into thinking the RPI is a Windows Media Centre so I can watch TV with it?

Use Windows Media center

First to clarify XB360 or Original XBOX?
By far the best solution is to use Windows Media Center on a PC to stream live TV to the XB360. I am a Unix guy through and through and have been so professionally for 15 years, but Windows Media Center is a fantastic product. The windows guys at work turned me onto it years ago, and its the only piece of windows software I have in my house. I use XB360 for gaming, and adding Windows Media center gave me a 6 tuner, multi-room DVR with 1TB of storage and streaming to any device such browsers, ipad etc to boot. It is also a fantastic replacement for XBMC via the Media Browser plugin.
I run Media Center inside a Windows7 VM running on a Linux KVM server and it records/live stream TV tune signals from a couple of HD Homerun network tuners to the XBOX360's we have in the house. You could use an extra PC or a VM too like me to run Media Center.
I would really suggest you look at that solution. It works fantastic.
It's the 360 I have.
My main PC could be set up as the server instead fairly easily but then I'd have to leave the big beasty computer on all the time... I wanted to use the pi because it's low power, silent and I like the idea of running all my servers from such a tiny device.
I doubt it's going to be able to run Windows in a VM solely for Windows Media Centre though.
I was hoping there'd be a way to trick the 360 into thinking that the TV streams coming from TVHeadend are coming from Windows Media Centre.

I don't think there is anyway to do this.
The way that Windows Media Center works on an XBOX360 is not actually media streaming at all, its a special kind of remote desktop session to the windows media center computer, and there really are not any other programs that can do this same thing.
Wow... That's a weird way of streaming TV... Or even just running the interface...
Maybe I'll just get another pi. Run a TVHeadend server on one and then just use an XBMC client on the other. I've tried running both on one and the performance isn't really great.
Cheers dude
