[Bluez-users] Mobi Bluetooth RC

[mailing-list]

Hello,

I hope it's not off topic here, but I thought some of you might be interested.

I've written a general purpose BT remote controll app, using the SonyEricsson 
accessory feature. It searches for BT phones and, if found, loads a 
configurable menu in it which allows you to perform certain actions (shell 
commands).

Why?

I know there are several BT RC apps around, but most of them are built for a 
particular job (e.g. to controll XMMS), and none of them suits my needs. I 
use it mostly on a server in a different room to issue simple commands such 
as to play music in the living room without having to boot another PC. I am 
aware that this is a very specific application, but you may be able to find 
different purposes ;-)

Where?

You may check it out at http://www.cs.utwente.nl/~bosmaw/mobi/

Comments/feedback are welcome :-)

Regards,
Wauter

Guys,

The most general purpose app would also be able to deal with AVRCP so 
headset buttons could be controllers too. It's just too bad only 
ericsson phones support the protocol you're using.

I saw another project somewhere that was a symbian app on the phone and 
a custom daemon on the other side. It sounds like they can build some 
interesting menus/interfaces with it.

The problem is you can't use any phone to do these things. bluetooth 
remote control would be very slick if every phone had it.

I certainly agree that AVRCP is very interesting, but unfortunately I don't 
have a budget for hardware on this project so it's unlikely to be implemented 
in the near future.

Bemused does this.

Sooner or later it will happen. For now, buy an SE :-)
