The MClient feature in mvpmc can be controlled just like any other SqueezeCenter (aka SlimServer) client. You can even boot up the mvpmc box into MClient using command line options. This way you could run mvpmc headless (w/o a TV) and not even bother w/the mvpmc remote control. If you are talking about other features of mvpmc, I think Martin has incorporated some networking controls. There is a burp about the web server in mvpmc which is used to configure volatile settings here: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/webinterface I think we tossed around ideas about internet control before. But I don't know what came of it. If you want a mvpmc GUI menu on the Nokia, I think you will have to learn how to program it. AFAIK, there is only a VLC viewer feature in the mvpmc code. No VLC server let alone a virtual console (which is what I think you are hinting at) that could send out an image of the mvpmc menu while watching a video. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mvpmc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mvpmc-users mvpmc wiki: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/
