Author Topic: Can I use one remote to control MC installed on two computers? Mac and PC?  (Read 1810 times)

I have MC 18 on my PC and will be installing it on my Mac shortly (will upgrade to MC 22 for both devices).

Can I use the same app for both devices on my iPhone or do I need to install the app twice on my iPhone? 

When I install it on my Mac I am sure it will generate a code to pair my iphone JRemote but will that override my code for the PC on the app?

Ideally I would like to have two versions of the app on my iPhone, one controlling my Mac and the other the PC.  Is this possible?

Yes, you can use the one smart phone app to remotely control multiple MC instances. You just can't control units at the same time. You have to log in to the respective server / client to control it.

what do you mean that I have to log in to the respective server?  DO I need to keep the code handy for each device of MC?

You will have more than 1 server defined in jremote, just select the one you wish to control.
