Remote assistance/desktop

Having remote desktop running fine just not enough for me. Im looking for an app or maybe use terminal sevices to remote assistance. just want to be able to use xda as a remote control for my music on the PC
Thought this might have been possible with remote desktop but it just logs me off as soon as i connect through the xda and wont alow mp3s to play cos it cant detect suitable audio devices or sumin like that

There is an application right for you!
Pocket Pc Media Control
[email protected]
This application runs in background of your pc,and using the client like a windows mediaplayer on pocket pc you can control your Windows Mediaplayer remotely with mp3's,divx,etc..!
I find it really great,and it is free.
Regards

wow thanks alot for that working a treat!

Any idea where i can get the software?

you can try gremote or mobile remote try searching

At the moment I am doing remote desktop, this way I can control Windows Media Player, VLC Player and Youtube. It's like having your PC in the palm of your hand.

Or you could use Winamp in conjunction with Winamp Remote

Dude, I tried doing Remote Desktop Connection the other day, using WLAN. my HD got connected to my PC (Pc is on Win XP SP3) but, the moment my HD got connected my profile on PC got logged off. I tried several times, but every time it was the same.
Can you please suggest me a way (may be without using 3rd party apps) to prevent this? I want to view both - my profile on desktop and my (remote) desktop on HD at the same time.
Thaks Ahead.

The PC locks due to security, that's how the default windows remote desktop works. Only work around I can think of is to search for 3rd party application that allows you to run both machines simultaneously and you can search for regisitry tricks.

Map networked drive?

Is there anyway to map a networked drive on a local network?
I was hoping I could connect to my home wifi and then stream videos from a shared drive on a PC.
Any way this is possible?

There is a SMB File Sharing app in the market. I never used it but it should work.

have you looked into gmote or aFile?

I was searching for the same thing a while back. What I finally did was download Gmote on my phone and Gmote server for my home computer. I set it up to allow me to connect to a Media folder over the 3G network (I'm with Sprint). I had to forward the port on my router at home and add an exception to my firewall. I also had to get a static IP for my router by using No-IP.
Once all that was done I could open gmote on my phone, pick my media folder on my home computer and start streaming my mp3s. Since it's over the 3G network I can be anywhere! The sound quality is great as well and I like the simple VLC player. My only complaint is that I wish the player would show album art in the background instead of just in the lower corner. I think it will do that over wifi but not 3g.
It takes a little bit of setup but the results are well worth it!

I'm seeing that it copies file... but is there a way to stream?
I'll test it out when I get home.

This sounds awesome. Luckily, I have a couple of servers running on the PC already so I just need to configure the software.
Will it work for videos?

If you are just streaming Media, try out ORB. Its cool, download a server app on the home computer, it scans for all your media then login to the website and pick your song that you want to play or video, what ever. Ironically i just posted this on another thread too....

I haven't had much luck but, then again, I only tried one video.

Can't get remote desktop to work... I guess I need to check the settings. I'll go home and set up both servers and test both apps out. Hopefully everything will go smoothly.

XBMC
I was completely unable to see any of my machines running Windows 7 or XP on the Vibrant. But I installed XBMC and it has a UnPn server and worked great. It's a great media center and there's also an excellent Android client that you could use for everything except streaming to the phone - for which I use AllShare.

I had no problem with allshare on win7, and I didn't even download anything from samsung. Just control panel -> network and internet -> homegroup -> share media with devices (check that off).
All the music in my music folder will be shared automatically and accessible from allshare on the vibrant with this.
I just decided to try it today for fun, and that was all it took. I don't really like that it's locked to "my music" folder, but if you don't like that, just get the gmote app (free) - since you can play things on your phone via the gmote app or on your pc. same thing but without restrictions.

Allshare won't see a Windows 7 computer unless you have the computer set up to share media.

Ill try home group right now thanks guys I was messing with makeing a home net work yesterday but not that.

well duh.
this is like saying "Your phone cannot connect to your computer because it's not on".
meanwhile, gmote = solution/alternative. Gmote will play anything.

[Q] Stream music from PC to phone?

What's the best way to do this?
I was reading into uPNP. I got a uPNP plugin for foobar2000, and got it working for streaming stuff to my phone over the local WiFi network.
I tried to use PlugPlayer on Android to do this over the internet, couldn't get it to work though.
Does Winamp for Android do this? It says you can wirelessly sync with your PC, but that sounds like it downloads all your music to the phone, I just want to use my phone to browse a list of music on my PC at home, and stream whichever one I pick to the phone.
I'd like to be able to choose the bitrate I stream at also, the foobar2000 uPNP plugin has very good options here, I just need to find an Android app to play it

Hi, have u looked at audiogalaxy, im using that, sounds exactly what u need.
