Hello all,
I've read a number of threads that dance around this topic/question but none that answer it.
Is there an App that will enable an Android smart phone to remotely control/advance a Powerpoint Presentation on an iPad via Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth?
...without jailbreaking the iPad?
FYI: I've come across a thread post offering this solution (enterpriseios website) but don't know if it'll work and would prefer not to try.
"If you jailbreak the device you are trying to control, yes. There is an app in Cydia called Veency that is a VNC server for iOS. You can then use Screen Sharing on the Mac, or one of the many free VNC clients (such as UltraVNC or TightVNC) on a Windows machine to view and control the target iOS device. You can even view/control the iOS device FROM another iOS device with a remote desktop app like Jump."

I know how to control your iPads media with your android device :
Developed by BOJA, iRemote iTunes WMP is an app that allows you to control your iTunes library using an Android smartphone. It works over both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and we found it to be the simplest and easiest to set up among the handful of apps available.
To get started, you will need to install the Android app on your phone along with a server app which you have to install on your Windows-based PC. Once the server is running on your computer, open up iRemote on your Android device to get started.
iRemote is a free WiFi and Bluetooth remote for iTunes and Windows Media Player WMP on Windows (XP,Vista,Win7)
Remote control iTunes and WMP on your Windows desktop, laptop, notbok or tablet. Plug in Apple AirPort Express to any speaker in the house and get the ultimate iTunes remote control sound system.
Enjoy the gourgouse [sic] UI and rich feature set of this inovating [sic] remote control. iRemote iTunes and WMP is the only dedicated iTunes and WMP remote control supporting both WiFi and Bluetooth connections.
No user settings required! Simple out of the box support connecting over WiFi and Bluetooth.
We have tested the app on our Samsung Galaxy S II unit and can confirm that it works as advertised. While it does do what it says, it looks spectacularly ugly in the process. I’m not saying this because I’m some sort of UI snob, but I do appreciate a user-interface which, at least, doesn’t make you look away in disgust.
Another issue we had with the app is how much of a dent it makes on the battery. In our limited testing (which didn’t last more than an hour), we found our phone’s battery going down faster than usual. Opening up Settings > About > Battery usage proved our suspicions to be true:
Still, it is certainly worth a try if you’re in the market for a remote app for your iTunes library. We couldn’t find a better alternative, but if you know of one, please let us know! We’d love to cover it!
There are two versions available: the Free one comes with ads, does not allow you to search your library for that one song and it also does not allow users to play a song by browsing artists or albums. The paid version, which costs $3.00, obviously lifts these limitations.
Clarification?
Problem. I don't think this answers my Q.
I'm looking for an APP to remote control "media" on an iPad (iOS) with an Android ...not iTunes media on a windows based PC.

Hi,
I want to set up a whole house media center, I have a xbmc server running in my house and a windows 7 pc which I can stream from also.
I have seen applications for andriod like 2player and skifta which allow me to stream music from these devices and it offers the ability to stream to other devices.
Can anyone advise me how I could set up a second android phone as a receiver. Since android phones are now so cheap I think it would be quite nice to have multiple android devices to act as receivers around my home.
I would aim to start a application like 2player on my own personal phone, choose my pc or xbmc server as source and then choose the music to play on one of the android phone.
Can anyone advise how to set this up as I don't know how to get the android phones to listen for streams.or even any alternative suggestions?
thanks in advance,
Dec
Hi guys,
Just to update this post last night I spent a bit of time researching this.
I found another app called "bubble upnp" which works as a dlna dmr.
I can see it all starting to come together now. I was able to stream from my xbmc server to another android phone running bubble upnp and using 2player on my own phone as the control point.
I am happy with this but I'm not sure if these are the best app's for this?
Also I think there maybe a small issue with power usage. I don't want to leave WiFi running on the end devices all the time. And or the dlna dmr app if possible.
I think sms gps can remotely turn on WiFi aswell as gps so this maybe a simple work around.
But not sure how to launch an app remotely on android phone.

Hello,
I'm looking to extend my music collection available on my device by streaming from my PC, either on my home network or on other WiFi networks. 3G is generally not up to the job, so I'm not interested in that.
I did a quick google and found a program called JukeFly, but it's not available in my region, and I can't find it on Marketplace. Is there a way to get JukeFly on my device?
I know that I can add music to my SkyDrive, but this is only accessible through the Office Hub, so is a bit clunky to access and I presume I'll be limited to opening one track at a time.
I've come across Media Buddy, which works with Windows Media Centre, but I'm really looking for something that will at least appear in the Applications list in Zune on my device.
Anyone got any clever solutions?
Thanks
When you're at home you could use a DLNA app.
Or you could install TVersity Server (it's for free) on your PC and then download and install either myMedia WP7 or TVersity Remote on your device. Works like a charm for me.
Streaming from your PC to WP7
There is an app in the marketplace called Tonido. It is really good at what its for. It reminds me of orb before it got screwed up, but tonido you should enjoy
Hey all!
I would like to know if there is a way to create a linux computer, which would communicate to a Android tablet for input/output functions.
Ideally I envision a small (like mini PC) linux computer sitting in my room. The tablet would be dockable to it it- where it would act as a simple touchscreen interface for the linux computer. Press a button, and the tablet can be removed as an Android tablet.
The tablet could access files (like music) on the linux computer and hopefully control something like a sound card also.
Perhaps a linux computer could run android? The tablet portion would simply be a wireless touchscreen essentially.
Any thoughts?
I haven't done much of that, but I'm sure that it is possible. Also, the Lenovo U1 comes close, although that is a laptop with Windows instead of Linux.
the majority of the functions would not be needed through a hardware I/O interface, all you would need is client server software on both devices.. If you really had to use a hardware interface you could use USB host mode i suppose and create a tcp/ip connection but this could be done over WiFi or Bluetooth.
android devices can already control many features of windows box's like vlc remote, xbmc, boxee and many more, it can also control the desktops mouse..
Linux wise, it shouldn't be much different..
You could just create a custom ui with loads of buttons that go to macros on the machine doing things like volume 0 -50 -100% etc
The lenovo U1 is tight!
What about more of the tablet just being the remote for a computer basically.
Take sound processing for instance- Android only does 2 channel and has very little in processing abilities- power amp is the most I've seen.
In a computer environment however, you can have way more channels, and lot more options like crossovers, time delay, parametric EQ, filters, etc. Things I doubt are possible on an android since they often require sophisticated sound cards not to mention eat up battery if they were possible.
What I want is to have a computer do that processing work, but have a simple tablet control the programs on the computer. I'd prefer to not have a custom UI since I like how people are very comfortable with android and it works very well. Also- perhaps you could use your phone to also control the computer.
I envision this:
A user would be laying in their bed, grab the tablet and select some music from the computer hard drive. Then they could control the sound and playback devices from the tablet. The processed sound from the computer goes to a home receiver as a digital signal, and the room fills with perfect sound. Then they decide they want to watch a blue ray. They toss it in the computer and it plays on their tablet with the sound coming from the receiver.
Have you thought about running vnc. or another type of remote desktop software , you could have the desktop wired up to the receiver etc , and just tell the computer to play the music or movie from the tablet .
Most remote desktop software have very crappy frame rates so playing back video this way kinda sucks but logmein ignition does surprisingly well on my tab211 when controlling my mac to do very similar things
( sorry I missed that post from anarchyuk completely , I was reading through pretty quick and missed it , so you can ignore this post )
Sounds like what I do with my android tablets via Skifta (free on Android Market0 using DLNA protocol.
Skifta app is installed on my EVO3D phone, Kindle Fire (running ICS Beta), and TF201.
When Skifta starts, you select your media source. In my case, 10TB Synology 411j running built-in DLNA media server.
Then select the Playback device. Which could be the tablet itself, my HTPC (XBMC/win7 connected to my home theater), or straight to my TV (Samsung LN46C750 has ethernet and accepts DLNA push request.)
Once source and playback targets are set, I just browse to whatever music or video I want and boom,it plays.
Highly recommend the Synology rigs. They also have built-in Dynamic DNS and OpenVPN server. Their DS Audio app (also free) allows my phone to connect back to my NAS over cellular network and play any song on the NAS via streaming.
Heck, if you plug an USB sound card like the SIIG audiowave 7.1 into the Synology's USB port, it can be an DLNA audio playback device, too.
One thing i really miss from my time spent with iPhone is airplay, used it everyday.
Since jumping on to WP7 i have searched hi & low for a streaming solution and haven`t found one yet.
So my question, is there any video/music streaming option for Mac to WP7 out there?
That might actually be worth developing. Bear in mind that WP7 users who run OS X PCs are going to be an extremely niche market, though. There are two ways that I can see to do it, though:
* Write a WP7 app that acts as a client for a current streaming service on OS X / iTunes. Make sure the stream can be decoded on the phone and that the service recognizes the app, but neither should be too hard (WP7 already recognizes most of Apple's codecs).
* Write a WP7 app that acts as a client to a dedicated media server app. Write that dedicated media server app, for OS X and possibly other platforms. The server would take care of ensuring WP7 compatibility. You'd need Apple dev tools (which is expensive, for somebody who currently owns no Apple hardware) and knowledge of writing good server code, though.
For HTC phones, you can download "Connected Media" from the HTC section of marketplace. Although not the greatest player, it does allow you to play non-DRM music and videos stored in your library (no streaming) to DLNA receivers. I use it to play to my Linksys Extender of my Media Center every once in a while.
@spokanedj: I think the OP is looking for the other direction, streaming files from the PC (Mac, in this case) to the phone. I'm guessing the goal is working around the limited storage on the phone for people with a really big media library.
I enjoy watching tv-shows when laying in bed, so yes im only interested in streaming.
I saw on https://www.emitapp.com/ that wp7 app coming soon.
I used emit on android, it wasnt perfect but i did the job
Hi,
I use ITunes on a Windows laptop together with DoubleTwist. Both computers and smartphone are on the same WIFI network and can see and pair each other.
My software versions are:
Itunes 12.0.1.26 (currently latest version available)
DoubleTwist for Windows 4.0.4.19767 (beta)
DoubleTwist for Android 2.5.5 (2e28932)
Android 4.4.2 on Galaxy S5
Windows 7 x64
I purchased AirSync to be able to stream music from ITunes (running on my computer) to my smartphone which is hooked to a Bluetooth sound system.
The problem is that when I start syncing my music, it literally copies my library to my smartphone. Having a large library of music (>100GB), copying music locally on the smartphone is not an option. I would like the music to stay on the computer and access the library from my smartphone remotely over WIFI.
The streaming process looks like:
Laptop -> Smartphone -> Bluetooth audio system
Is this possible? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Christophe
Answer from DoubleTwist:
"Hello,
I'm sorry but at this time, our streaming feature require the songs to be local to the Android device. Our app is not able to act as a bridge between your computer and your sound system. This is a feature that users have requested so we're investigating it for the future roadmap.
Feedback like yours helps us to prioritize our future development plans. I've sent your comments on to our product manager.
Thanks."
Do you know any solution doing what I'm looking for by any chance?
Thanks
Christophe
