Any Application to COntrol Winamp

Hi Guys sorry to bother you again. Any App to control Winamp from your JAM (next track coulme....) or to control your PC from the PPC
Thanks in advance

Pebbles can be used to control your PC from your PPC via Bluetooth. It's freeware and works quite well.

thanks for your reply please can u post the link to the software. thanks in advance

Pebble
I'm making my own kinda thing like this as well. Should work on any device with a net connection (HTML based interface). Quite some way to go yet, but I'll keep you informed.
Any particular functionality anyone would want in a program that would allow you to control your pc remotely? It won't display the remote screen (although it'll probably show screenshots) but you'll be able to knock up interfaces to control volume, launch apps, close apps etc.
This is not mine, but what I have in mind

RemoteAmp

thanks thanks thanks a lot for you guys for your suggestions and vijay555
I will be waiting for your app to finish .

One more thing my Feedback for Pebbles is EXCELLENt this program is fantastic you can control your pc and all application. As for RemoteAmp 2.0I guess it is the perfect program to control Winamp and I am happy with it since pebbles is a little bit difficult just to control Winamp but on a brighter note you can control your whole PC. Thanks again for your guys.

PuppetMaster. Works on WM as well as on almost any java compatible mobile.

My full review and setup instructions for Remote Amp. It also controls iTunes, which is handy for me as I like the iTunes file format.

remote amp rules!!!!!! its the best remote controll for winamp i have ever seen.

I agree with Whitefox it is very easy to connect and control your winmp application

Hi.
I def. agree with you. RemoteAmp is by far the best WM-client for remote controlling Winamp I have ever seen.
But isnt there an enqueue-function? I have a HTC HD2, and can't seem to find one...??

Universal, 3G & VNC

I've been fantasising about getting a Universal for sometime but I dont want to ditch my BA. As I don't see it as being that much of an upgrade to warrant paying & hassle of arguing with O2.
However, I'm on-call for my company and was wondering what the quality of VNC over 3G was like?
Has anyone tried this and is it practical?

.: bump :.

Not sure about over 3G but can imagine it's roughly comparable with normal VNC over broadband. Also depends what version of VNC you use on the exec as there are a couple.
Over wifi on the exec it's pretty good, though I've found that logmein.com is a far better solution - if such an option is open to you. Also found that dynamicdns.com is meant to be good, and allows you just to RDP onto installed terminals.
If none of these are applicable, then VNC on the Exec is just as good/poor as desktop equivalents.

Thank gawd Citrix released the latest WM 5.0 compatable version of GoToMyPc Pocket View so now I can remote into my desktop using my handset. GoToMyPC PocketView allows pda owners with a gotomypc subscription to access amd work on any registered machine remotely.
If security is an issue it uses an SSL-encrypted Web site and end-to-end AES 128-bit encryption of the data stream and chat as well as keyboard and mouse input; multiple passwords, including an access code that resides on the host computer and is never transmitted or stored on GoToMyPC servers; and notification when the PC is accessed.
Because the o2 XDA Exec has a 640 x 480 touchscreen and UMTS (3G) capacity it makes life a whole load easier using PocketView than on previous pdas. UMTS has a theoretical speed of 384 kbs so any refresh delay is hardly noticible especially combined with the fact that the software itself pixel refreshes.
Here's a couple of images of it in action!

They seem like the perfect combination for those who intensively work remotely who insist on not having to drag a laptop around with them.

Thats settled then - I'm getting one.
Also what mount are you using in the car?

Brodit Active!

www.dsldevelopments.com are a good supplier (I know the owner and bought the Exec cradle from him)

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet! :lol: now that's a mobile office

Remote desktop access to computer?

Was wondering if anybody can point me in the right direction to a remote desktop feature like LogMeIn?
Tried using the Universal to get to LogMeIn but wouldn't work on either IE or Opera.

Have you tried Terminal Services? It's built in...
If you do, have a look for my VJFullscreenTSC.

Thanks Vijay....
I'll give it a shot

Logmein works fine for a lot of people, including myself...what problems are you having?

If you did the registry hack that makes pocket IE report that it's a desktop browser, LogMeIn will not recognize your device properly when you attempt to sign in. Make sure PIE is set to all defaults, log in to logmein.com and it should tell you to install a small file called RACtrl.cab From there on out, everything should work great. Good luck!
MJB

hi i have got logmein account and everything works just fine. just one question how can i connet to logmein using terminal services or maybe other app ??? cheers, cudp

Great one
z2r2pc is a great remote access software it has excellent file transfer too.

mbial
Thanks for the suggestion. It works. Setting PIE to default took care of the issue.
Some more info concerning LogMeIn on PPC browsers:
Netfront 3.3 -
Will not show Remote Desktop. However, will allow you to transfer files to and from PDA if you have LogMeIn Pro.
Opera 8.6 -
Remote Desktop will not display when you set the Opera browser as Desktop and not Handheld Device.
Setting up as Handheld Device will have LogMeIn Prompt you over and over again to install their software - hence, it will not work.
As for z2r2pc. since you have to pay for it, I'm not going for it.

ehabh - Thanks for the suggestion. If LogMeIn decides to get rid of its free version, I might just go that route.

hi, is there a way to connect to logmein through terminal services client and if not how do i configure it? cheers

Writing a "network keyboard" with .NET CF?

Does anybody know if its possible to write a virtual keyboard driver which takes its "keystrokes" from a network stream?
I think about a windows (or MacOS or Linux ... ) application which sends the keys typed in a textfield or similar via TCP/IP to the PDA.
The PDA should take these keystrokes and send them to the application in the foreground.
In Window, I would need a self writen driver (writen in the MS driver development center) to simulate a complete keyboard. What about Windows Mobile? Can the compact framework do something like this even if the programm is not in the main focus?

You can not write drivers for Window Mobile in CF, in fact as far as I know you can not write drivers at all in .NET, they have to be written in native code.
But I think that for your purpose drivers are not relevant. In fact, i wouldn't use a 'fake' driver approach for desktop either. It is over complicating matters.
All you need to do is create a small and simple server (should be easy to do in .NET) that will listen to the network and generate keyboard events. It does not have to be an actual keyboard driver or SIP.
Now I am not sure about CF but there is a Win32 API that applies to both desktop and mobile versions: keybd_event()
You can use it to simulate keyboard input from within any kind of app without worrying what application or control currently has focus.

Thanks!
My sample applications works already. I am able to send single keystrokes via TCP. Now I have to think about usabilty and debugging
The next step will be to implement some kind of protocol to send the exact keystroke representation to the PDA...

Due to this tiny transfer protocol everythink works like if the keyboard would be directly connected. All I have to do is implement special characters like @, €, ...
I think I will publish it open source under GPL. But I need responses if anybody needs functions not contained by my little programm...

Hmmm... how about making this work the other way around? I'd love to be able to send keystrokes to my computer from my Pocket PC (for remote controlling Winamp, for instance - all the WLAN Winamp remotes available are either ****e or lack a seek function...).

App Discussion: Adding Infrared Remote Capabilities via Audio

Basically, I'd like to get the ball rolling with making a low cost (Free, Open Source would be best) IR Universal Remote application for the Android Platform.
I wrote up this wiki to help establish current info:
Slatedroid Wiki - Adding IR output to Android Devices
Please see the wiki for all the details, but essentially, the hardware involved is trivial. As far as coding, the following needs to be written or ported from other projects:
A GUI to manage the buttons and selection of devices
A parsing function to read info from pre-made remote control code text files
An audio signal/waveform generator
A database to store the information
All of this stuff has been done before, it's just a matter of bringing it all together into one android-based project.
If the project really took off, future development might include:
Support of LIRC, Pronto, CCF, and/or other IR remote file protocols
Integrated controlling of WiFi and Bluetooth devices
A pre-parsed central database stored "on the cloud" for all major devices
Possibly supporting the "learning" of a new device (would need a IR sensor/decoder attached to microphone input)
Feel free to discuss, correct any errors, bounce new ideas around, etc.

With google tv most of plumbing code and the UI will be available, albeit for a small set of machines and via bluetooth. (google remote)

They used to do this actually.
I remember a long time ago, it was with remote software. It would store the IR signals as WAV files recorded via a 3.5mm headphone IR sensor.
I think you could even make one. All you need to receive and send IR signals is a audio recorder/player. Map certain software buttons to each audio file to make a "Remote Controller" type of device".

Yes, all that info is already in the wiki. It's been done a million times, which makes me wonder why there is no one around with an android version yet.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Google TV will be WiFi controlled though, not IR, right? If the source code for the gui was available, that would be a good start.
