Title: Web Remote for MediaCenter? When?
Post by: RonaldX2 on July 07, 2003, 07:21:45 am

Hello,

I use the JRiver plugin "Web Remote - 1.0.7" to control MC via the browser since version MJ 7.
But it works crappy on the new Media Center release. :-(

Will there be an update for MediaCenter?

I agree!  It would also be nice if you broke out the server into a directory with the HTML/XML/etc that we could then edit and "skin" in a way!  

Oh yeah, dont forget an SDK on it!

I agree, is the development team going to fix this?  I had to resort to an older version to make it work again (v. 9.0.105 works fine)

Ooops - are we talking about the same thing? I meant

http://www.musicex.com/cgi-bin/downloads/plugins.pl?type=10&start=0&end=10&page=1

--> Web Remote - 1.0.7

It is not very likely that there was an version 9.0.105 before, right?
If so, I´d like to know how to get it though. :-)

Regards
Ronald

I'm talking about this:

(C) 2003, JRiver Inc
Remote Server v1.14, JRiver, Daniel Ellison, and Benjamin Sweet

This is the new Remote Server BUILT IN to MC! (No need for the old plugin!)
Tools >> Options >> Startup Settings >> Run Remote Server on port XX

As you notice, it's at version 1.14 in 9.1.213, but it's still pretty plain!

There are several solutions to the problem you are talking about.

1. Use Net-Remote
2. Use Glissando or Music Lobby with a flash interface.
3. Live with the basic browser interface.

The #1 and 2 options are currently both free for personal use that you can take and adapt to your own preferences or use as is if you like.

Also Mario at Cinemar  (www.cinemaronline.com) is doing some pretty exciting thinigs with a commercial version of Music Lobby to integrate with his Main Lobby suite of front end tools.  You can check his progress at the AVS Forum or on his web site.

I think we all owe Ben and Dan a great debt of gratitude since without their effort in developing (for free) the Remote Server plugin it would not be where it is today.

Of course I personally think this is a key feature for Media Center and should be on the fast track by JRiver for improvments and further integration as well as SDKs for skinners abroad.  I hope they can somehow devote some resources to do just that, but we also have to realize that they do have limited resources and that these things take time.

Just my 2 cents
