Want Winamp or Windows Media Remote controller?

[Guest Dumdidum]

Hello!

I've programed a remote control which allows you to remote winamp from your SPV E200. It's still in alpha, but it actually works!

It can do the following things:

- Run Winamp (Pressing Call)

- Next Song (Pressing Joystick Right)

- Previous Song (Pressing Joystick Left)

- volume up

- volume down

- random

My question is: Which player support do you want to have?

- Windows media player 9?

- Winamp 5.0?

- other?

note: This will work on every smartphone with Bluetooth! It would be possible to run it on a smartphone without bluetooth using IR or even GPRS, but this will not be officially supported as it is less stable...

I did something a bit like this in ASP.NET - only half finished though. Got bored of it when it came time to write the "Add to Playlist" function, although most of the back-end SQL work is done for that, and you can play, pause, view playlist, change track, etc. Tried it on a PocketPC but Pocket IE didn't like the client-side XML databinding, but then neither did Mozilla or Opera. (fairly sure I could do a browserdetect and replace some of the XML funkiness with javascript ... just me trying to be too clever)

Still, my MPx200 doesn't have bluetooth (damn shame cos it's a nice phone otherwise) and I don't have broadband so GPRS wouldn't work unless I triggered a modem connection beforehand. (dynamic DNS and all that)

If a fair amount of people are interested in using this (doubtful due to the necessity of installing IIS, SQLDE and the .NET runtime just to make the damn thing work) I might finish the thing off. Most likely it'll just sit festering on my webserver.

Been looking at eVC++ 3 (cos my MPx200 is SmartPhone 2002) ... looks bloody complex to me!! How did you get started and up to the obviously advanced level you're at now? Wouldn't mind learning a bit, but I looked at the sample "SmartPhone Hello World" or whatever it is - and didn't really have a clue what was going on. (not done any C++ for years, and even then it was simple Borland DOS stuff) It's obviously no more than a dream at the moment, given my apparent programming abilities, but I fancied doing a port of Frodo, the Commodore 64 emulator, for SmartPhone.

Good to see someone's worked it out tho ... nice one :lol:

I did some work in "classic" ASP for going through a list of directories, cataloguing the MP3's, and storing them in an Access database. Only problem - it works for my way of storing MP3's, which basically is ArtistAlbumFile.mp3 making no reference to the ID3 tags, as they are usually inaccurate. (although this is dead easy should you want to) Could be handy, given that you could sync the DB with the phone / PPC with ActiveSync, then remotely send the command "play file #4829" instead of directory listings bouncing across the wireless link. You're more than welcome to this code, and the accompanying database, if they're of any use to you. (it's a bit messy, but it does the job, catalogues my 20GB of MP3's in about half a minute to either MSSQL or Access on a P3-500)

BTW personally I use WinAmp 2.91, as should everyone else :D

I have released it:

[Guest NederSoren]

Oww.. would really like a BT phone right now.. that looks very cool! :lol:

Did you say that you could make it possible throug GPRS?

/NederSoren

[Guest Dumdidum]

If you really want to I can create a smartphone 2002-version which uses GPRS... but then you have to have either a static IP or a program like dyndns.org

And GPRS traffic is expensive

[Guest Dumdidum]

New version avalaible :arrow: here

[Guest Mr_Protozoa]

I've just installed it - but it's telling me that it's expired!

It's not the 31st yet!

What's going on?

[Guest Mr_Protozoa]

I've put my clock back to 13/01/04 and it works now.

Not really an ideal solution, but otherwise the program is fab.

Although it seems to have trouble with displaying a track listing of my 3000 track playlist.

[Guest Dumdidum]

Hi Mr_Protozoa

Yes 3000 Songs is to much for it :lol: It supports up to 50...

[Guest Mr_Protozoa]

50 songs eh? Looks like I'll have to make some smaller playlists, rather than my genre spanning behemoth.

Any ideas about the date problem? (and i'm not talking about me being single!)

Cheers,

[Guest Dumdidum]

Hi sorry for my late reply didn't see that you have posted...

I am actually programming the new version with many bugfixes and without a beta expiration so that finaly should work then!

[Guest Mr_Protozoa]

Cheers Guv.!
