I know we have the phone version of the webif on the iphone but I was hunting about for some info on using an old PC as a media machine for a friend of mine and stumbled across this at www.remotemouse.net - with all the talk of doing different/extra stuff with the remote, and the fact that we can't really hack into that, could we do something like this?
Remotemouse has the app on the phone and something on the PC for it to talk to. So with a package on the Hummy that signals from the phone can communicate with via the wireless network, then the package fires off commands in the same way that I presume the IR receiver fires them off in order to get the Hummy to do stuff? So it's not necessarily about getting the Hummy to do anything new, more about having a cool touchscreen remote control that lights up and gives us the option to configure whatever layout of buttons we want. e.g. once a movie has started I might only want a few big buttons like Pause/Play, Stop, FWD and RWD, Volume? Or you can swipe through a variety of button pages suited for TV, and another for Movies, File Management etc etc.
This might be way off target and totally impossible but I just thought I'd ask in case anyone might know how to do it. If not then no-one reply to this and it'll soon fall out of sight!!!![Smile :) :)](/forum/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png)
