Anyone bored? Remote control my MP3 player.

[notfred]

I've been working on a network remote control for iTunes. Anyway, I've got a beta version of it available now.
Download it here.
It requires java. If you don't have it, you can get it from Sun.

If you run it, hit "open" and put "notfred.homeip.net" in the servername box, and "5151" for the port.

That will connect you to my machine, and you'll be able to control what I listen to.

This is really more useful on a LAN, but this might be fun, too

I would download, but I am programming java right now :disgust:

Doesn't stop you from downloading a 6k jar file

The client has been improved, try it out, someone needs to unpause my music

BWAHAHAA, playing now

 

[ElFenix]

i don't know if its doing anything because i can't see if the server/ip boxes have the right info because they're tiny... maybe i need a new version of java

will it do 'Format C:'?

I tested it on win2k and OS X w/ the newest version of Suns JVM, and it looked fine on both.

If it isn't worknig, it'll give you a "can't connect to server" error when you try and hit play or skip a track.

 

[ElFenix]

yep that fixed it

"Server not responding"

I am on DSL and my router acts as a firewall if that makes any difference

 

[notfred]

that's annoying, stop pausing and resuming it like that...

Make sure you set the servername and port correctly, it seems to be working for someone, cause my music is randomly pausing on me

I just paused and restarted ya

It reconnected all on its own

I had everything set correctly.

Just hit it again and it is working fine for me
XP Pro
IE6

 

[notfred]

having 4 people across the country controlling music that they can't hear is.. odd

You could see how it'd be nice on a LAN, though.

What does it require on your end to be able to do this?

Very cool program, I would like to mess around with it.

It requires iTunes (and therefore a Mac), and a small server script I wrote.

If anyone wants to port the server to winamp or something, I'll send you the source.

I only started writing it yesterday, it's got a ways to go before I'd call it done

I just closed my connection to it.

The connections aren't persistent, anyway.

Someone decided I wanted to lsiten to AFI - God Called in Sick Today.

Just selected it for you to listen to

Now you got me wanting to write a server for some popular windows MP3 player
