Guest Tech Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 Hi there. I thought this application I was making for the smartphone was going to be easy but oh boy was I proven wrong! I managed to complete it finally with perhaps a few bugs (1 bug on the server app which is a toughy to solve) This application allows you to control WMP (well just to play files for now) from your smartphone! You can also chat to the server, assuming someone is sitting at the computer. So its like a 2 in 1 app: Application consists of 2 sub apps: 1) client (smartphone) 2) Server (PC) You basically start the server app and start the service. Then run the app on the phone and connect to the server. If successful, the phone will display a message saying its connected. From then you can either: 1) chat with the person on the computer 2) Request a playlist and play a file chosen! This allows you to remotly control WMP via bluetooth (or USB if you like) It's still in very early stages but its worth doing. Any one interested in testing it for me? I'd appreciate it! It was built and tested on C500. (dont see why it shouldnt work on C550) Thanks!
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 Sounds good :) I can do some limited testing for you but I'm not a great music playlist type person. Good luck and any chace of some screenshots? PS would you like me to move this to the Software section as it will probably get to be a busy topic if you want to contimnue to develop and post at the saem time?
Guest Tech Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 that would be appreciated mate if you could move this to the forum specified :) I'll email you (assuming I can access your email address) the application and instructions in about an hour or so. Gotta catch a bit of sleep... screen shots? lol. Well its nothing fancy. I do have a video clip though! I think I'll upload that... It will be about 14-21MB....
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 That will be a bit big unles you can just supply a link to the clip. Posting restrictions will not allow you to upload that size of file. I will move the post for you and if you can not find my email just PM me first :)
Guest Tech Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 (edited) yeh I was uploading it to yousendit.com I have just converted it to a WMV file.. less file size but will be less quality. hope you can make it out :) (2MB) App Demo video (big file, better quality 12MB) : http://s43.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1XVHFZH...U73CTEKIUTVZPYLappDemo3_1.wmv Edited July 30, 2005 by Tech
