Hi everyone,

I am trying to replicate with MC a feature that works pretty well with the combination of Logitech Media Server and iOS iPeng. That is having an iPhone as a renderer and iPad as a Controller, while the music is streamed from a PC running MC.

With iPeng, this works seamlessly. The app running from the iPad sees the server and the iPhone. You just select the iPhone as renderer, and off you go.

I have not found yet how to make this work with MC.

Any idea ?

One word of clarification. With iPeng, the iPad works fine as Controller, meaning it can remote control what plays on the renderer. With MC, I can remote control what plays on the PC using the iOS JRemote app. Then I can use the iPhone as renderer using the same JRemote app on the iPhone. However, I have not been able to control the iPhone from the iPad.

Please note that I do not take comments such as "you couch potato, just stand up and control your music from the iPhone". I WANT to use the iPad to control what happens on the renderer.....

MC can remotely control and send music to other instances of MC or DLNA Renderers. JRemote is neither. I think BubbleUPnP acts as a DLNA renderer so you could try downloading that and see if it will work.  In other words, MC is running on the PC, JRemote is running on the iPad, BubbleUPnP is running on the iPhone. The iPhone should therefore appear as a DLNA Zone in MC (provided you've got the DLNA functions turned on), and therefore also in JRemote, which you can control remotely.

Thanks for the tip. I could not find Bubble on the App Store but it works fine with PlugPlayer.
