RE: xPLMediaNet Feature Request

["Neil Frost" <neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tony,

I don't have the remote for the exstreamer as it's left in Node0 I don't
have a TIVO either :(

Although after playing with some MSS100 devices, I could use the remote now
and use two mss100's to bridge over IP and have the remote reciver in the
lounge.... (thinking aloud)

The device control sounds great, and would mean that I can keep things nice
and tidy, I think that would make a great addition (in my eye's at least).

Cheers
Neil

Hi Neil,

The mvp client includes an xpl menu system, that could be used. But this
could be cumbersome.

If you have a remote for the exstreamer - then, when mvp has osd added, you
would be able to control it via the mvp (or if you have a tivo you could do
it straight away).

But this is an interesting problem you've bought up. What I can do, when
time permits (the mvp client for xplmedianet will be the last of the
existing xplrionet clients to be implemented) is add the ability for the
mvp
(or actually any device) to control any other device with regards to music
selection (as they use a common menu).

i.e. you could choose the exstreamer from a list of other devices, and then
all control on the mvp would be directed at the exstreamer?

Regards
Tony
