Thanks, that was my mistake. I'm able to connect now.

One other issue I'm finding is that if I allow my Touch Pro 2 to "standby" with the remote running, it enters the "sleep of death" (commonly reported issue with the HTC devices). I'm forced to reset my phone to get it working again. This might actually be a good thing as this issue has been notoriously hard to repro on demand and the fact that this happens 100% of the time with this app might make finding a fix a little easier. Anybody have any ideas on how to trace exactly what might be happening here?

Only works on LAN. Cannot seem to set up PAN (WiFi) network between WM and PC. Any possibility of getting this to work on Bluetooth?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] directmail:
Never had this problem before with my TP2, I am running the remote all day in the background and leave it connected to the Wifi. So far no problems when waking up from standby and never had to soft reset before. If it has been in standby for a long time (usually over night), then it does take a little longer to wake up but never longer than 3 or 4 seconds. Maybe its the ROM you are using?

Hey, would love for this to work but can't get it to. Running 0.6 on my WM 6.5 Omnia II device, Got VMC running on my Vista x64 Box with. Can "connect" to its ip (192.168.2.2) but the second I click on ANYTHING I get a NullReferenceException. Got ports 40400, 40410, 40500, 40510 open as per every bit of info I could dig up. Firewall was off when I tried, Tried connecting to "LivingRoom-PC" "\\LivingRoom-PC" "192.168.2.2" "\\192.168.2.2" and both iterations of my WAN IP (not gonna post that for obvious reasons) Also tried with every "option" disabled in settings on device. Tried with WMC both open and closed by all means It SHOULD work it just doesn't. Any Suggestions?

I noticed something similar - when screen goes to "sleep" it disconnects any WiFi connections I currently have (found the same thing when I am sharing an internet connection).

Stock Verizon 6.5 ROM here. I'm happy you've never seen this issue but there are many, many others like myself who have and it has never been reproducible like it has been when running wmc remote.

I hope this might open the door to a clue to finding the cause.

App is excellent. Thanks author.

I have few suggestions:

- could you make it multipoint, when I can add a few servers and switch between them in menu;

- it would be great to add possibility of automatic server address choosing by phone IP acquired. So imagine, at home I have addresses 192.168.0.X and server address is 192.168.0.111, however at work I have addresses 192.168.1.X and the server is 192.168.1.111. App can determine the address which is acquired by phone by DHCP and automatically choose right server or, if there are a few in this network, first found or last used...

The app crashed when my laptop lost wi-fi. App somehow have connected to it when it was unrichable. But when I clicked on control button it crashed.

I have the HD2 and the keyboard does not work, nothing happens when keys are pressed.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] joe_coolish:
Great product :)

I have it loaded on my HD2 and have really high hopes for this app.

Here is some feedback:

- I have been having the "On Sleep disconnect" issue.

- If the app disconnects because it goes to sleep, reconnecting doesn't work

- If I connect to an instance of VMC and the buttons come up, but I do not receive an acknowledgement message on the Media Center PC, pressing any button will cause the app to crash.

- 20% of the time that I connect to WMC I do not receive an ack

Some of the features that I would request:

- Dedicated record button on the home screen

- VNC features (ie, mouse/keyboard control)

- I haven't looked to see if this is already implemented, but pushing the channel listings to the phone so we can directly change the channel w/o having to pull the on-screen menu up.

Good work so far! I really really REALLY hope this project doesn't die out before it reaches its potential. That would be really sad and would mean I would need to go program my own remote control (which I already have too much on my plate to do that).

upcoming update...

hey guys,

im currently working on a new release right now. this will address many of the stability problems (ie crashing), as well as making connecting to your pc much simpler. it should also work a lot better on QVGA devices. features such as adding extender support and stopping standby are still in development. other features such as controlling mouse (like vnc) are not available through vmc controller, and are outside the scope of this project.

i know some users having been having problems with the app disconnecting when your phone goes to sleep; this is a result of your wifi automatically switching off when in standby. i find its easier to have the wifi on when in standby, which can be set by using the following app at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=AdvancedConfig and selecting the "Wi-Fi enabled on standby mode" option, then rebooting, or the following reg key:

if you are getting errors such as "nullReferenceException", it is most likely because for some reason the app cannot connect to media center. to troubleshoot, check the following post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=617849&page=2#65

as far as the "sleep of death" goes, i find the best fix to this problem in general is to not use the default alarm app on your handset. its annoying, but at least the phone doesnt lock up!
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Andriics:
Have you enabled Wi-Fi?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] joe_coolish:
Sweet. Just changed the reg.

Can't wait for the new update! I am a programmer, so if you need more technical beta testing, I would totally be willing :D
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] beggehorn:
Wow, really? Is there a thread about this somewhere? I'd like to learn more about this. thx.

Looking forward to the next version! This app is going to be wildly popular...
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] oishiiunko:
new release is up, hopefully it's fixed a few issues and is a bit easier to use.

let me know what you think!

thanks man! great help. let me know what you think of the QVGA scaling... (besides the buttons at the bottom)

i think there is a thread somewhere... but from what i remember nobody actually knows what causes it.

thanks heaps

After installing .7b I don't have the sleep of death occurring when my phone goes into standby any more (even before installing the cab above). However, I can't get WMCRC to connect anymore and my IP hasn't changed (it's setup as static). Can't get the program to crash though :)

Which part doesn't work? I'm guessing the automatic search? if it fails to find your PC, you can still connect manually like before. it should keep searching for about 3 minutes... have you left it for a while to search?

troubleshooting...

hey guys,

if you having trouble connecting, im thinking it could be that same ipv6 issue from a previous release. just try disabling ipv6 on your pc (and router if possible) and see if it can find you pc after that. im working on a fix at the moment, but if someone could verify this is the problem (with different network setups) it'd be a great help. also you could try ensuring that your network type is set to private and not public, maybe that has something to do with it. haha its this reason why we test our apps!

have you installed VMC Controller as per the instructions?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Freak-Inside:
Same problem with my HD2, no connection with manual settings and with the search. Version 0.6b works.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Yuuki_Minoru:
Nice looking app, unfortunatelly I cant get VMC to run.

when VMC controller failes to start as an addIn on Media center, the media center remote app crashes with an exception upon issueing commands.

I'd like to see a similar app, but for windows media player...
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] beggehorn:
I unchecked IPV6 in my Local Area Connection Properties but couldn't find any settings for that on my router. My Win7 machine's network is set to "Home" which I assume is private (right?).

project update...

hey guys,

just letting you know where the project is up to. because of the difficulties of connecting to and the reliability of VMC Controller, i've decided to go ahead and build my own media center plugin.

not too sure when ill have this ready, may be a few weeks off yet. so keep checking this thread and ill be posting a beta version of the plugin for you to test pretty soon!

thanks for all your support... if you're having trouble with 0.7b, try reverting back to 0.6b. if that still doesn't work, refer to this post.

Great-looking app with a lot of potential, great work. I'm having some issues.

Devices/OS':

HTC Touch Diamond running Windows Mobile 6.5 (VGA screen)

Eee PC T91 running 32 bit Windows 7 Home Premium

No ActiveSync via wifi for me (of course) but ActiveSSync via Bluetooth works fine.

When synched via Bluetooth I am able to connect to the PC and the app seems to work. The Home, Videos, Pictures, etc., links work and the volume control functions however there is no navigation control. The HTC's D-Pad is not recognized and even using the Touch D-Pad option only volume control - no navigation - is possible. The OK button doesn't function either.

Am watching this project eagerly. Looks like a great programme.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] oishiiunko:
im glad you like it! only use activesync when connecting via bluetooth or usb... dont try to activesync with wifi, just connect to your network, enter the ip address and connect.

not sure why the directional functions dont work, although the same thing happened to me once before. i just restarted media center and reconnected and it seemed to fix it. i think its another bug with vmc, hopefully the plugin im working on atm will get rid of these bugs!

I am running windows 7 64 and have an htc hd2 that I haven't messed with too much.

I am fairly new to windows mobile as the last 6 years I have stuck strictly with RIM products. Not the easiest transition but its all a learning curve. seems to have its ups and downs compared to RIM But a definte win for WinMo is the hardware available. Thanks for all of your help in advance. This was a $15 app on blackberry and was more of a workaround so I guess I found another plus if I can get it to work.

Without testing, I would suggest to connect to the Media Center PC automatically using activesync or WiFi when starting WMCMR. Or let the user pick a server when starting the program. It saves the user a time-consuming step!
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] austrianX1user:
it won't work for me

my first problem was, that the vmc website comes up with "The http server release" for download, I doesn't work. It only works with the normal Beta release of vmc controller. (confused me for about 2 hours)

the second problem is probably with my router, there will never be a connection between my x1 and my computer even though they are connected to the same wlan router. Not even god (if that guy exists) could make it happen. anyway, it works with usb cable and activesync.

Now... when I put in my ip and press connect, it connects and than disconnects immediately after that (just like stated before by some other guy).

I don't have the slightest clue about all the ports, ipv6 things, command promps and so on, I dont know anything about it. I just opend the two ports 40400 and 40500 and it still doesn't work. restarted everything, it failed again.

My OS is Vista home premium x64 and im pretty sure activesync is connected properly.

But dont get me wrong, great program, could be a panel to download or even a program for the marketplace. but maybe OP or microsoft should make it a bit more user-friendly, chances that the average person (computer IT unaware person) installs it properly are under 1%.
