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?

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.
