Possible to steer Media Center

[Guest tha_neo]

Is it possible to use my phone to steer Windows Media center, use it like a remote in windows media center? I have bluetooth on my computer...

Anyone?=)

I've not seen an app like this for Smartphone...

Rudeo (http://www.Rudeo.com) do a fantastic app for Pocket PCs to control Media Center (they also do a WMP version), maybe worth dropping them a line to see if they plan to support Smartphones?

Haven't seen anything to remotely "control" it, but you can remotely add/delete recordings if that's of any use...

You have to install this http://asciiexpress.com/webguide/ on your MCE box, be able to access your home network from the internet and setup port forwarding.

WebGuide allows browser based control of your MCE, and also has a /mobile/ version which works well from a mobile device. I've had it running about a month now and scheduled a recording remotely many times now. Works like a charm !

ok - have now come across this utility on thegreenbutton.com - it's bluetooth control software, but says it's only for an Sony Ericsson K700i.

Sony Ericsson K700i MCE Remote

I haven't tested it as I don't have that model, or anything in the SE family (I would give it a go on any SE model and see if it works..)

might help you ?
