Netbook Remote
« on: June 04, 2009, 06:11:26 pm »


7. NEW: When connecting to Library Server, a user can choose to make playback happen on the server instead of locally.

I like where this is going and won't be able to try it today due to work.
How are the multiple zones handled?
Main "server" copy of MC has 6 zones from different audio outputs.
When I connect the "client" copy of MC to the library server, will I be able to select "play at server" and then choose one of the 6 zones from the different audio cards in the server?

We're not sure exactly where this is going yet, but it is very cool.

I had a lot more trouble getting Windows to cooperate (new install of Windows) than I did with MC.

Very nice.  Thanks, Matt.

Here's more on why we're doing this.

There are two parts to this.

One is a new SDK that exposes control of Media Center over the web.  This allows remote control, getting to files, seeing a display of what's playing, etc.  With time, this may replace the existing SDK (COM based) because it allows access from any language and any place.

The second part is using Media Center to remote control another Media Center.  This is built on top of the new SDK.

Sounds promising....

This does sound like it'll be MC14's wow feature.
