Using Sony Erricsson to operate MC12
« on: February 20, 2007, 04:22:45 pm »

The new Sony Ericsson K800i can connect to windows by bluetooth. Is there a way of setting it up to control Media Center. i.e. change volume and songs and other stuff. If so, how is it done? This is possible to do in Windows Media Player.

MC has a web server built in.  It's called Remote Server and you can start it in Options/Startup.

Then run a web browser on the phone.

I would like to use the built in Sony Ericsson bluetooth remote control to control MC. Is there a way to set this up?

Your phone should have a remote control app in the utilities section.  Not sure it the commands map perfectly or not.

Yea your right Chad it does have a built in bluetooth remote control but when you press up volume for example it brings up the playlist. The controls don't match up properly. Is there a way to configure this?

Not from the phone side, not that I can see.  You'd have to re-map the commands on the computer side.

This one is skinnable, if you are so inclined.
