I got a new Android phone and I'm trying out a pretty cool app called gmote - http://www.gmote.org.

It's set up for VLC, but it says in the FAQ that...:

Can I use a media player other than VLC? Can I use Windows Media Player?
The program is designed to support multiple media players. We currently only fully support one player, which is VLC. However, there is an experimental section in the code that allows you to use Windows Media Player instead of VLC. To enable it do the following (but keep in mind that this is a 'beta' feature and doesn't support all of the features of the VLC binding):
1. From your computer, right click on the Gmote server icon and select 'help', 'show settings and logs folder'
2. Turn off the gmote server by right clicking on its icon again and selecting 'exit'
3. Open the file called supported_filetypes.txt
4. Change any line that  says "org.gmote.server.media.vlc.VlcMediaPlayer" to "org.gmote.server.media.windows.WindowsMediaPlayer11Controller"
5. Turn the server back on by going to start, program files, Gmote Server

If I change to their Windows Media command, I can control MC, but only when it is in focus. Any idea what I should put in to make it work better? If it is at all possible I mean...

I can control MC, but only when it is in focus.

So if there was a way to keep MC 'Always on Top', would it make things better ?

Which view are you using in MC, standard, mini ?

Well, as it turned out, it didn't work as well as I thought, even in focus. Play/Pause and stop do work. The volume controls and skip track controls on the remote... Do other things. It's dangerous to press them ...
