Remote Server - questions and comments

(1/1)

milknkukis:
I have just found the remote server function and think it's ace! I have been using VNC up until now but this now allows me to use my phone (symbian) to control MC throughout the house with no laptop required.

There are a few things that would be nice though, hopefully someone can tell me how to do them or tell me if they are available in a later version:

1. The text is small and my fingers are clumsy, can i remove the option to delete tracks? This makes is safer for friends to mess about with.

2. Can i make the text bigger so i can read it easier? I can do this in my browser but then every other page becomes too big.

3. MC isn't always left in the right zone. Can I have a way to select zones? Or specify a zone for remote server to always play through? Or have a different page/server/port number for each zone?

4. Make it password protected? It's really cool and I want to show it off to everybody, but i know as soon as i do my mates will be logging on in the middle of the night and waking me to Black Sabbath blasting though the house. Although very funny i don't think this will go down well with the wife and will become tiring quickly!

[I could block access from outside but it is useful to let the phone have access when it is connected on it's own network and out of range of the wifi]

I'm hoping that the page is in xml or html and can be easily edited, please tell me so?

JimH:
Remote Server can't be changed.  But take a look at WebRemote in MC15.  It's on the MC15 board.  It's graphical.

Also look at remote control options on the Third Party board here.  There are several.

Thanks Jim, looks like i'll be upgrading soon!
