Intelliremote for iPhone/iPod Touch has been released on the Apple Appstore today.

Intelliremote Client for iPhone/iPod Touch is a native iPhone application that allows you to control your home theatre PC running Windows. Since the iPhone uses a network connection it does not need "line-of-sight" like traditional infrared remotes and you can use it anywhere in or out of your house!

The purpose of this program is simple: to allow complete control of your Home Theatre PC from your iPhone with the touch of a finger. While Apple has provided an iPhone remote for ITunes...what about the rest of us that don't use ITunes?

Do you use VLC or JRiver Media Center to watch videos? Do you use GBPVR, DVBViewer, MediaCenter, XBMC, or SageTV for DVR? Maybe Winamp, MediaMonkey, BSPlayer, or ITunes for music? Control them all from the comfort of your iPhone or iPod Touch!  A custom JRiver Media Center profile is included with the Intelliremote installer.

Absolutely.  when you install Intelliremote it gives you profiles in C:\Docs\USER\AppData\Intelliremote\Extras you will find jrivermc.xml you can load into Intelliremote.  If not you can download it from our Download page in the profiles.zip file found here

Just a heads up... for anyone with an iPhone/iTouch, this app is really worth a try. The wireless keyboard and touchpad alone is fantastic. Really responsive and easy to use.

I'm having a problem here. I got the trial of Intelliremote installed on my PC, and I downloaded the iPhone app. I've got the two talking to each other. I can control the mouse and type using the iTouch screen. That's pretty sweet.

I loaded the JRiver profile and I can switch to it by pressing the icon on the iTouch. The popup on my PC pops up showing that I've switched to the JRiver profile. But then nothing happens. MC doesn't appear to be responding to any commands. I'm using MC ver 13.0.139.

Did I miss a step somewhere? Does this only work if it's registered?

I see that there's a Rivermote application, but that appears to be a completely different product.

Help?

Hmmm, first the Rivermote application is completely different and is not related to Intelliremote so you got that correct.

No it does NOT have to be registered to work...it should work the same in trial/shareware mode as it will in the full version so you can test it out.

Intelliremote with the MC profile loaded should be controlling MC if its the foreground window?   MC has to be the window in focus for it to receieve events from Intelliremote.   So you are saying when you press Play in Intelliremote with the MC profile it says "Play"on your iTouch so it knows you pressed play but MC is not playing?

I didn't realize this, but it doesn't make any difference. Whether MC is the foreground window or not doesn't matter. It still isn't responding.

So you are saying when you press Play in Intelliremote with the MC profile it says "Play"on your iTouch so it knows you pressed play but MC is not playing?

Correct. Intelliremote says "Play/Pause" on the bottom so I know I'm hitting the right button. MC doesn't do anything, though. If I bring up the Intelliremote window on the PC and go to the Info tab, I can see that the last command is Play/Pause. So Intelliremote is obviously receiving the commands. They just aren't getting passed to MC for whatever reason.

I just tried it with WMP and that's not working either.

I am running the Windows 7 beta, in case that means anything. It's weird that I can do the mouse and keyboard control stuff, but so far no media players are working.

Do me a favor.  Let's step all the way back.   Open Notepad in Windows.

with Notepad open press the "1" on your remote which should generate a "1" in Notepad typed out.  If it does then we know all the mechanics of Intelliremote are working. 

Now we just need to figure out why the special Media Play/Pause commands are not working.  You said the Play/Pause does not work in Windows Media Player either?  How about start a song playing in WMP and then press the Stop button in Intelliremote.  Maybe its just a problem with Play/Pause?

I have not had a chance to mess with Windows 7 yet, but this should all work as it is basic MS API commands.  Let me know how these tests go!!!

It works great in Windows MCE! Just not in WMP or MC.

This doesn't work either. Neither does the Next button. This all works fine in MCE, though.

OHHHHH now that is even weirder. So now we know Intelliremote works, it is that MC is not responding to that Play/Pause.   Is there some setting in MC 13 that "enabled global hotkeys" or something?  Maybe MC is not listening to the special MS Play, Pause, Stop media commands by default anymore.

One more thing to try, figure out what the Keyboard combination for Play is in MC like "CTRL+P" or something like that and change the Play/Pause button of the MC profile in Intelliremote to send that keyboard combination instead.

Sorry about this, but I am Positive this all works on my Windows Vista/XP running MC 12 and most media applications like Windows MCE etc.   Something must have changed in the latest MC beta???

[Melloware]

I found it.  Look in your MC options under Tool->Options->General->Advanced->Media Key Mode

[Doof]

Yup, that did it! I had to set it to App Commands to get it to work.

OK great!!!  At least we know both you and I are not crazy. :0    Mine was defaulted to "Automatic" whatever that means.
