i have tried all of the apps in the market and believe that i can make something better. i main problem i have is that i use my xbox as a media center extender in my lounge, and none of the current apps support that.
also none of the current apps have any feedback from media center. i want to be able to browse my media on my phone, and then start it playing in media center.

Please Develop this Pronto

haha, yeah im currently working on it with someone else working on the server. app is looking kool. so hopefully we will be able to have an initial release for you all soonish.

yes that would be nice. to remote controll the computer with the android phone. I say GO!

yes a truly useable app hope to see final version soon

I've been looking for something decent to control my media center for a while now. gmote and myremote are decent, but I'm always looking for something a bit more comprehensive.
You have my blessing!

I would definitely use this!

great to hear there is some interest.
just to let you all know this app is currently in development, and whilst i cant give you all an eta. i hope it wont take too long to get this app out into the wild.

Hi all, sorry for no updates,
been very busy in the studio and working on Music Mod.
The app is getting there, however i need to start work on the server and thats the bit that is confusing me. im an android dev, so windows development is very confusing to me haha.
Anyone wana help? tweet at me.

+1 I would love to see this sort of app....I use my 360 like that too!

Plz Make one.
UI is soo awesome.
Plz make sure it works on most phones.
like Samsung Spica i5700

to keep u all updated, i have been working on a couple of other projects so havnt had time to spend much time on this, however the problem im having is working on the windows side of things, as to be honest i only really know android.
Eliot

I'd love an app like this. Hopefully you'll find someone to help with the windows dev.

is this project dead now? it's actually a good idea, wmc always gets updates, could get complicated... but, anyway, nice project!

Have a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wssxuN-OYvk
That's by far the most awesome remote control app ever created...

Portable Media Center PMC interface for PPC?

does anyone know if a interface like the PMC interface exists for the pocket pc device? i reckon someone could hack or mock the interface on a new media player but its damn impressive if there was one.
heres a video of it in action:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3428996358728158914
it anoys me why microsoft doesnt release this for the ppc. some of us like to listen to our music n videos on our devices too..
the new ZUne device will have this same interface. albeit probably upgraded. imagine if we could have that n transfer our songs via bluetooth/wifi before the zune even comes out haha.
The O2 atom has something fairly similar to that, it's called O2 media plus. Details here. http://www.seeo2.com/product/XdaAtom/template/XdaAtomApplications.vm/n/exclusive
I use it daily and while it is basic enough, it does the job.
cool. can you send that over this way? ftp or megaupload? thnx
whats taht diagnostic thing? if u could upload too that'd be great.

Erm, I'm a newbie around here. How does one do that exactly?

Exactly as it says It runs a whole load of diagnostics on the various bits and bobs on the Atom. I doubt it very much that this would work on non-Atom hardware.
It may not be that easy to port these software to non-Atom unit. As it has been done for O2 Plus and SMS Plus, some sort of hacking are required such that these software can be installed into non-Atom units. Further, as I've noticed on the media-center-interface thing, it has the radio option there, of which a lot of the phones here do not have, of which the interface program may go wanky.
Anyway, it is still feasible, just don't put your hope too high
I'd realy lova a Media Center kind of app...
anything similair on the web somewhere?
couldn't google it.
thnxZ

Ventrilo on PPC

Hi Guys
After trawling countless forums and google searches i have finally found a Ventrilo client for PPC and smartphones.
The programs is called CEntrilo http://www.g3gg0.de/wordpress/projects/centrilo
Now I installed this and was like "Hell YEAH!", it connected perfectly and I was able to use all the features that I love in normal ventrilo.
Then I hit a snag....when i unhooked from ActiveSync i lost connection and no matter what i did i could not get connected through WiFi or GPRS..Dammit! All i kept getting was the error "host name not found"
Once again I trawled google to find a solution. BINGO! I found that if you redirect a host to the IP (such as signing upto no-ip.org and creating a host) and then used that as the IP it works.
So anyways I hope this is usefull to all u hardcore gamers and Voip ppl
Peace Out
Dodge
pld sir
thanx dude almost gave up on this one... cheers
no problemo
I hear u have asked the guy for the source code? are u a programmer?
nah...
nah.just like to see how stuff works and maybe tinker a bit.
What if there is already a Server established and you can't access it? Or do you still go to the No-IP.org site?? Cuz the site makes it sound like your signing up for a server or something along those lines.... sorry I'm not really understanding how it all works.
Hey, since I can't access his website ( http://www.g3gg0.de/wordpress/projects/centrilo ) I would like to ask you guys for a favoure ... Would anyone could be so nice and post program binaries here? Ofcourse any help would be appreciated .
yeah i'd also like to obtain the binaries.

Just to inform you guys ... http://www.g3gg0.de/wordpress/projects/centrilo is now accessible!
centrilo dosnt work with new vent servers
all new vent servers do not support centrilo (as far a i can tell, would love to be wrong)
but..
if some one wans o work on i i have an old vent-server app.
Could you please tell me what version of ventrilo server do I need to connect on with centrilo. Thanks!
my centrilo was working fine up 2 Version 2.3.0 get hat and you'll be fine. 3.0 stops centrilo working. not had time to work out why but there you go
i might upload server file on the weekend.o0(thats if i can find it in all the junk iv downloaded )
That's weird ... I can't connect to server version 2.1.4. You probably don't know if there is any bug.
I miss this program so much it hurts. There must be alternative. Perhaps some handy programmer would like to take a crack at this?
Yeah, updated the server to 3.0.2 and Centrilo is hosed.
Geggo is considering upgrading his software to work with the new version of ventrilo. Visit his site here and post a message letting him know how much you appreciate his work and how much you would like to see an update.

The developer refuses to update his client to work with the 3.0 Vent servers. The new vent clients talk to the official servers and the CEtrilo developer hates the "we want to control everything" mindset.
So we are out of luck. Is there anyone else out there tackling this project?
Ok, I just found you guys while searching for a Vent program for my Blackberry Curve. Sorry if this is a dead topic and sorry in advance because I know nothing about this stuff.
I was looking at the Centrilo program but it didn't seem that the site was too user friendly so I was hoping someone here could help me out. Does Centrilo still work at all? And how do I install it, do I need to do it from my laptop or can I just install straight to the BB?
Thanks for any help you can give me. As you can see I'm very new to this but I'm desperate.
Looks like he may of released the code for CEntrillo.

Anyone wanna take a shot at updating this for Vent 3.0 servers, and Windows Mobile 6.1?
Yes someone please update this

Slithers Cube...

Have u guys tried to install Slithers SCLPC++ on ur smartphone? I tried, works good, all the animations n stuff...looks really cool...only downpart cant press any of the buttons, i put forward the following in slithers thread:
"
Hey slither.....great work.....i went to the edgelib site n it stated there that it can be installed on smartphone....so i went ahead n installed it...works like a charm (just the cube roatating and all) but neverthe less its probably the best interface so far i have had for a non touch screen....
There are a few things though i would like to ask you:
1. Is it possible to assign the opening of the icons (music, programs, contacts) to the numberpad, that way it will be fully functional on smartphones as well.
2. The centre button of the Dpad assigned for opening app rather than closing SCLPC (only for smartphone, for PPC i thnk the present config is best)
3. Make some function for up key in dpad of smartphone, like the same function as swipe in touch screen does?
Is this possible bud?
Keenly waiting for what u have to say.
Thanks alot bud,
Once again great app.....
"
What do u guys think? If we can be generous we can probably get slither to make it functional for our non-touchscreen phones.....and it looks amazing....
Sound's cool, what the thread url so we can post more requests for smartphone? Maybe ifhe knows there's a demand, he'll help us out.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358102
I will post a video of how it runs on my phone soon.....
and heres the download that ran on my phone:
http://rapidshare.com/files/89795344/SCLPC___3D_0-051__WM05-WM06_.zip
I have uploaded the video, its in the cube3d.zip file....its in 3gp format...its not that clear cause its recorded from mobile, but i have displayed 3 of the skins i downloaded and how it looks......
Let me know what you guys think
i always wanted to test this app on my phone but i always though it woulndt work, but for my surprise it does,il be willing to post on the authors original post so that he can know that we smartphone users want hes app fully functional on our phones.
Did anyone manage to convey our message to him? I was thinking if he can not do it, probably ask him if he could give us the source and we can get someone who is good at c++ to do it...i know someone who might be able to...
What do u guys think?

[REQ]Looking for developers, Spotify for mobile!

Hello. I'm sure the majority of this site know what Spotify is. And I've discovered some great stuff, that maybe could be ported to a WinMo device.
I'm really, really bad at coding, so I don't know if this is possible, but hey, why not, it's worth a try, right?
So, to the subject. Some Swedish hackers have hacked spotify and made a program to connect to their servers and stream music. It's all opensource, altough no GUI is available.
So my request is, port this program to a WinMo device, and make a nice graphical interface!
Here is the link to the program.
http://despotify.se/

Come on people, someone? Make the code mobilefriendly and a nice GUI, somebody/a group must be able to do it?
Nobody? would love spotify in the mobile!
Still nobody that can look in to it?

Howsit going with Spotify for Windows Mobile?
Any news? All i can come up with since im no coder is to make my pc screen visible on my phone. But that solution is BAd! plz develop something now
BUMP for this thread!
Its embarrasing that Spotify exists for Iphone and is on its way for Android but not WM!
Oh, let me second this with a vengance! Please please somebody get this done for WM....

despotify can't be ported to windows mobile. even though its possible, winmo doesnt have a native python runtime, the app would be huge, and to slow to actually be usable.
a new app would have to be programmed in C/C++ or C#
i would love this app two im a big spotify fan and use it alot
+1, seriously now spotify exists for Android and Iphone!
I have been working on a Windows Mobile Spotify client called mySpot.
The first alpha version is complete and I have uploaded it to the forum today.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580208
-Fry
i read on the blog that they are coding a java version. cant we just throw the java **** on your phones and run it in java?
I've ported despotify/jotify to C# (compact framework), and will release a working Windows Mobile client whenever I manage to build a nice GUI.
Maybe, some day, I will combine it with my old Grooveshark player, and create a all-in-one music app.
Stay tuned
Excellent news, nilezon, thanks. I'll look forward to this

[APP] hd2Wobble - hdWobble for HD2 (Leo)

Hi, folks! It's me again with the new version of the hdWobble app. Although it looks like the previous one, this version is done from scratch. It is based on the OpenGL ES library for Windows mobile. I recently got my self a new HTC HD2 phone, and since it is supporting multitouch technology I decided to see if I can use it in this app. As it is shown in the video, I managed to implement pinch-zooming and rotation of the loaded image as well as resizing of the wobbling area. There are lots of things that need to be polished and implemented, but I hope that this version will live to see it, unlike the previous one. There is no download available yet. At first it will be released only for the HTC HD2 device. As soon as it is completed I will release it for download. Not sure yet if it is going on the Marketplace or not. Anyway, enjoy the existing app and this clip, and don't forget to watch this thread for updates.
Watch the movie here
Work progress
New image gallery is finished. I hope you will like it. I'm planning to give it a go as a standalone image gallery that can replace default image and video viewer.
I'll be expecting your recommendations, critiques, suggestions and comments of any kind that will make this gallery even better.
You can see new gallery in action here.
Little contest
Thanks to all of you who have submitted your work for the new visual identity of this app.
My favorite and favorite of majority of people that I've shown these icons is one from De'Key.
TODO list:
app configuration panel
load previous work and save current work
minor glitches and bugs
Requirements:
Microsoft .net Compact Framework 3.5
Credits:
1800pocketpc.com for hosting download
Scilor for his HD2 Multitouch .NET CF dll
Koushik Dutta - for his OpenGL ES and Sensor API .net wrappers
All the guys out there whose articles, blogs and forum posts made this possible
And special thanks to all who have donated
Download available!!!
Download of the beta version is available @ 1800pocketpc.com.
Please, do not mirror the file, or redistribute it in any other way.
Important installation instructions
After installing, PLEASE, DO SOFT RESET of the device, otherwise multitouch wont work.
Q&A
Q: How to add or remove images to use with hd2Wobble?
A: Go to the location where you installed hd2Wobble and open Backgrounds folder.
Q: Will there be standalone image viewer, and when?
A: Yes there will be an I don't know when.
Q: Does hd2Wobble work on other devices than HD2?
A: For now it only works on HD2. If it works on other devices it is not intentional. I only tested it and developed for HD2. It won't work on devices that are not "multitouch" capable. In the future release I'll try to enable it to work on other resolutions so it could be used on devices like HD2 mini.
Q: I successfully installed hd2Wobble on my HD2. Why isn't multitouch working?
A: Soft reset your device after the installation.
If you like this application and find any worth in it, you are free to donate
Thnx!
For the future use
