[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Freckle:
Hey XDA!

I've recently been working on an application, called dRemote, that will allow you to control windows media player anywhere in the world.

As soon as you hit play on your mobile, the pc will hit play on windows media player and starts playing music through the pc's speakers.

This is an Client-Server application which means that the dRemote server must be running on the pc you would like to control. Then the client will connect to the pc via the internet, this way you don't need to worry about having to walk to the pc to switch songs or pause.

You could play music upstairs while your downstairs in the living room.

For me it's useful because I sometimes practice downstairs and I prefer using speakers because you get a better bass out of them.

Imagine being able to chill back and relax, watch a video and pause without having to run all the way (lol) to the pc to pause it.

This will also work for videos.

You can also view/select your playlists and songs from your mobile phone!

Suggestions/ideas are welcome!

Now you can fully control Windows Media Player/iTunes/Windows Media Player Classic/dPlayer/VLC from your mobile phone!

In order to have dRemote working with Windows Media Player Classic:

In Windows Media Player Classic go to: View -> Options

Under 'Title bar' check 'Don't prefix anything' and click 'Ok'

Now restart Windows Media Player Classic

To have it working for VLC:

Tools -> Preferences

Bottom left you see "Show settings" tick "All"

Interfaces -> Main interfaces

Tick HTTP remote control interface.

LEAVE ALL HTTP SETTINGS DEFAULT!!

Now restart VLC.

Sorry to everyone who's waiting for the next version!

I'm currently very busy with school and work like I said.

Updates will not happen anytime soon, during the summer holidays there will be a huge update where I will do the following:

*Way better User-Interface (Added in V0.4)

*More media players supported (VLC supported in V0.4)

*Programmable buttons

*Hopefully Bluetooth

*Hopefully Windows Media Center/etc. support.

*More different types of media.

*Attempting to get a stream working so you can stream your music onto your device. (I did some research and it's going to be very hard to implement this)

*Shuffle playlist

*And a lot of other stuff!!!

Thank you so much for donating!
