hi guys, I've had decided to (try to) code an app simular to what I used on an old Sony Ericsson (t68 and s700i) which could remote control Windows Media player via Bluetooth, and and download which I had that done the same for winamp and would also list the playlist.
At the moment this is in the idea stage, as far as I have worked out, its going to need to be a server/client app.
Being new to Qt this may take some time lol but always found deep end is best place to learn lol. does anyone have any pointers in direction to look for info on something like this, or how to pass information, commands rather than files via bluetooth?
soon as I get anywhere I'll post updates.
thanks for any info thrown my way.

Hi,
I am trying to get the ActiveX plugin for the Windows Media Player to work in PocketIE, or rather Internet Explorer Mobile on an O2 XDA Orbit 2 (Windows Mobile 6). The objective is to play a wma file from a URL, but using javascript to control the player, which will sit in a display:none; styled div.
I dont want to post walls of code, so I have setup this simple page to illustrate and test it:
http://lukas.xcomms.ie/cblproof/Default.aspx
I am able to display this fine in PocketIE, and I am able to play the audio file, just as in the desktop browser. However, with the new version of this plugin (i.e. using classid "clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" instead of the old "CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"), I am no longer able to use the javascript calls for .Play() and .Stop() on the player object.
When I switch the code back to use the old plugin, I can successfully use javascript to control the player in the desktop version of IE, but since the plugin is not installed on the WinMo6 device, I cannot bring the page to load the player in PocketIE.
Has anyone come across this before, or is there any reference documentation for the new ActiveX plugin, similar to the old Windows Media Player for PocketPC SDK that Microsoft had for PocketPC 2002 way back when?
Any input here would be much appreciated, I have trawled this forum and the internet for two days now, but unfortunately information is very sparse. I am stuck with PocketIE because of other requirements for the project, so switching to Opera or SkiFire is not an option I am afraid.
Thank you very much in advance for any pointers!

Other options
Hi again,
since no-one seem to have an idea to circumvent this particular challenge, can anyone suggest an alternative? I would be willing to skin the plugin, or use any other means of controlling audio in a web page through JavaScript.
I hate the fact that we have to work with Pocket IE on this, but at least it means that whatever solution we go for will need to work only on this platform and not across a variety of handsets / browsers.
Very grateful for any thoughts, opinions, advice,
Thanks again!
Mike
Hi All....
Glad to be part of such an effective forum.
I've already searched the forum for what i want. Hence starting a new topic.
What i want to do is:
- Play something on my PC. i.e., a movie file.
- Listen to it over BLUETOOTH on my Android phone
WiFi, Internet is not an option for me.
Reason:
I've a new 24' Display and hence wanna view it at a distance using my phone to do the wireless work over bluetooth.
I've used GRemote Pro. Its to just control your pc's mouse pointer mostly.
I need audio to be streamed over to the phone.
Specs:
Win 7 32 Bit
Android 2.2 Phone. SGS i9000.
I've added my query as a general question as it must be the same for all android phones
Any Help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,

Well, I want to host an online radio station on my phone. I don't know even if its possible, but I don't think its impossible either. Because, it has nothing to do except stream audio. I am looking for an app that is similar to Shoutcast. If you are unfamiliar with Shoutcast, its windows pc software that comes bundled with Winamp music player, that allows you to have your very own internet radio station at free of charge. I want something similar on my phone. Do you have any idea in this regard? Please help me out.
Is that possible to stream audio/video from one android mobile to another.i searched and got the solution that we should use a2dp for this.but in case of my application, I need to create a application only for receiver side ie:the application won't be installed in client device(the mobile from where we should receive audio) .i need to create an application where it should stream and play audio/video files from any other android mobile if they both paired via bluetooth.Is that possible in android using a2dp or do i need any alternate solution.if possible post some useful links and sample codes.thanks in advance.
