Hehehehe ... godlike equipment and listening to mp3 - u must be kidding me !!!
Hm, some good hints. As for the remote, I cant afford a pronto. I don't mind getting off of my couch to select which music I want to hear, since my living room ist not that big ...
using the webremote directly might be a very good tip. So my software would act just like a normal network client, but of course I won't show the html page itself. This might save me a lot of work. I think I will contact the author, maybe he can provide a very simple interface (text only would be nice) and a list of commands. Well, the commands shouldn't be a problem, since you get 'em free with the html.
I think I'll have a close look at webremote first and then I'll contact the author. Thanx !
I use a normal remote to control my PC with Girder, Zoomplayer, DScaler, MJ and other Software at the Moment, although very minimalistic. My main goal is to control it when I am sittin' right in front of it, and I want to see, what I am doing, hence the display. (That and I want my GF to be able to play some music without fireing up the projector.
The remote is used just occasionaly, to press pause in a movie or to mute 'cause the phone is ringing, but thanx for your suggestions.
