Media Remote 2004: New version RC3!

[Guest Dumdidum]

Ruttensoft is proud to announce the Release Candidate 3 of Media Remote 2004

:arrow: What is it?

Media Remote 2004 is a Remote Control for Smartphones for controlling the Windows Media Player on your desktop PC! It does not use short-range Infrared but long-range Bluetooth. The only thing you need to have is a Smartphone with Smartphone 2003 and Bluetooth (SPV E200/Qtek 8080 etc) and a Bluetooth-Port at your desktop PC (bluilt-in or USB-Dongle)

It is working in the cradle too but then you are not that free!

:arrow: How is it working?

To connect, you have to connect your Smartphone with Activesync, then start the Server on desktop-PC and then start the Client on your Smartphone! It is then autoconnecting

At first use, you can insert up to 9 Playlists into the Server which you can later select on your Smartphone to start playing! (You can start from Server too)

Here is the list of features of Media Remote 2004:

Hi,

Will you include Winamp control again in any future releases ??

Thanks

Jason.

[Guest Dumdidum]

Hm, we are considering this, but actually we integrated a player into the server and are not remotly remoting WMP... that's better to control...

But we will surely implent a function to import Winamp-Playlists...

When I start the server is says "ERROR, cant write to registry"?

Why cant i get it to work?

[Guest Dumdidum]

Hi

Which Windows do you have?

[Guest zeta101]

i had this message come up the first time i tried the prog, and then i couldnt get the pc side prog to load up, i posted it on your forum, i have win2k incase you need to know.

I get the same error but the app runs and after the first run it works without the error..

Though this app misses something I just neeeeed to have for my playlisting, Add directory. I have got all my music in category folders with category folders per artist and sometimes even per cd... that adding 1000+ songs one by one is really unreasonable :).

Also when adding a bigger list of files i got the error that i had to add less files at a time? that isn't much goodo ey..

Though i hoped it would just controll an Windows media player instance or something instead of it's own. since i already have a nice set playlist and all :P

Er bandwidth? WM9 take bleeding ages do anything on my pc with an ATA133 connection, let alone a limp little bluetooth one.

Although if you want no feedback to the phone, you could just use normal PC control software.

[Guest bigdan]

I have got it working now, it was because i only had w.media player 8 (even though w.media player said there was no available updates) I downloaded v9 from Microsoft and now it works.

Very impressive tool indeed!

Useful for watching DVD's too! Not just music.

Can you import playlists from WMP?
