Web Remote for MC 9.0
« on: March 17, 2003, 10:56:53 am »

Ive been telling you for ages that the Web Remote Plug-in for MC 9.0 is a bit on the iffy side and i now see you have removed it from the plug-ins section.

When do you think it may re-appear in MC 9.0 format.

Also i have been thinking of my own design of remote for MC 9.

How do the mjextman commands work. I had a quick look and the command look okay but i cant quite figure out how to select tracks from the library.

Basically i want to control my main PC from my Ipaq - not fussed for fancy graphics etc. Just want something that works.

Cheers.

It is a bit on the iffy side, but it still works in MC9 (at least with build 129). You have to do some registry hacking to get it to work. I figured it out in:

As for the mjextman MCC control parameters, make sure you see:

There currently isn't a way to select individual tracks from the library and send them to playlists/playing now. There's a lack of navigation control and "Send To..." options.

Your best bet is to use the /TREEPATH parameter and specify a playlist in the node for the time being.

Have you looked at netremote with MC ? It was my understanding that was precisely its function...

Netremote uses the same plugin as web remote.

Until this plugin in updated for V9 neither of these will work.

Damn... Does Ben know ?

Last I heard he was the official maintainer of the updated WebRemote plug in...

Ben knows. there's been some discussion on the NetRemote webboard.

In fact, he said:

I just fixed the WebRemote code to install to both registry areas, for now. It also includes a fix by Warren for a buffer overflow issue.

You should be able to download from the main page and have it install correctly for all versions, now.


So until JRiver gets its version up-to-date, you can get the working WebRemote plugin from http://www.netremote.org

However, I don't think NetRemote allows you to add things to the playlists with the built in driver--I don't see that command as an option in the command list. With MJ8, you could hack together something with Girder and the HidePopup remote (I did), but it isn't elegant. MC9 doesn't allow this yet with the MCC control commands.

Ahh OK my miss understanding... I would always assume that netremote or Glissando etc would need the WebRemote made for it, but miss understood which side was broken (old / new rebremote v MC)...

The WebRemote is actually very important to me and a lot of others... It opened up so much control possibilities...
