Media Center PC in basement, but speakers wired throughout house. Display in living room, but never have had an Android based solution, for example, for my wife to be getting ready post-shower in bathroom and actually see Media Center to pick music, or me in the garage or on the deck. Over the years I've messed with Remote Access, Chrome, Ceton app, etc. Everything was too clunky to really use past an initial try. Just installed the Media Center Control Server and this app and showed my wife. She was so excited, she picked up the dog and danced with it (not a small dog). She just left to go to the store and a particularly favorite song of mine came on as she left the garage. Note: I've never reviewed an app before or paid for many apps. Thanks to the developer.
I knew what I finally figured out.how to find my Mac and network password! Gee this should be explained in the setup process.not everyone is a computer expert. Now things are working fine.
Worth every penny. Cheap way to control Windows Media Center from your Android device. Has it's own interface or the original WMC controls are available.
Cannot get control to stay connected to a computer long enough to get any use of it. But when you do its brilliant, got issues sorted now and would recommend this.
It would be nice if the playlist would also show the song that was playing so that if a particular artist's song was playing we could see their other songs and easily play another rather than having to scroll the whole list every time.
Excellent app for controlling media player or center from the comfort of your couch. Very impressed. Used it on my Samsung note phone. Excellent on my kindle tablet too in landscape mode. I have it installed on win7 x64.
works great, exactly what I was looking for. using it with Vista, but only with WMP (incompatible with vista MCE) still, other than the tv scheduling and playback, does everything else I need.
Great app and easy to install. Now I can manage my tunes from the couch.
Does what it claims in an organized way. Read the instructions, some of the features are controlled by the server and not by the client app. Some minor cosmetic issues. Given the poor quality of many of the alternatives this app is a joy.
Exactly what you would hope for. Responsive even with poor WiFi signal, nice interface and latest update removes only small hinderance which was tap and hold to get context menus. Cannot rate highly enough.
Impressive and very intuitive yet powerful interface. Solid performance week after week. Genius design by keeping menus phone side. Just need override to take control from wife....and not give it back
Does exactly what I wanted! The server application should be a little more refined but this app is fantastic!
Best remote for WMC ever. Works without any issues and even plays my favorite webradios. Best thing is, the TV can stay off when changing/listening to radio and music as the mobile has all the details on the screen. Can only recommend this app. Viele Grüße aus Australien!
Works OK, but needs better position controls when playing videos. The bar is often unresponsive and pause button is too small. Needs more control over UI in general - font size etc.
This used to be a great app but now for some reason crashes media center lots. Using emote until this is fixed...
Would like to see a epg grid for the channel guide. Other than that. Perfect.
This app works great Navigation is easy but the controls may bbe a bit too small I would like to see a widget included but I dont know if thats possible
Looked like a good app but it won't even connect to the computer to get started. Tried contacting the provider but no response from them 48hrs later. Looked at their online help which was useless (turn device off then on again, is wireless on...). Am thoroughly disappointed after all the rave reviews, I'd caution anyone against paying for this app as I'll be seeking a refund.
This program works well, and is exactly as stated. The Day I downloaded the app, was a day when the website was down and sent the developer a message, saying I could not download the windows client, he responded within 2 hrs. with a solution to get me up and running. Great Customer Support. I hope future releases will support the commercial skip support that is out there ( DVRMS Toolbox WMC plugin). With this update this program would be the ultimate companion.
The server takes over your media center start/stop functionality and does a very poor job. Search is extremely slow and doesn't work most if the time. There is no trial version of this app. Your only option is to buy it and then no refund option is provided.
This is a truly superb app. I can't understand why some people are not able to use it. I found it so straight forward to set up; took me about 2 minutes. It does everything it promises and does it much better than I expected. One thing which would make it better - streaming PC to tablet/phone. Win8 Pro / ASUS TF101
I'm using Windows Media Center as my DVR now, and this does a great job of acting as a remote for it! Takes a little getting used to, but not much. Very responsive, over home lan. Only one (obscure) request: my bedroom PC has two displays: one is my desktop, the other, larger is the bedroom TV. WMC is starting one the desktop PC and I'd like an easy way to cycle it to the other, like the Windows Shift-Win-rightarrow sequence. The UI is not quite as pretty on Nexus 7, but the fact that I can recycle my OG Droid to this purpose makes up. Nice job, developer!
Extremely complex to install and fraught with pitfalls. Once running it has more bugs and unseen changes to media center than features. Yuck and no refund - you can guess why, they would go broke!
Struggled to get it to connect to a second computer. Once I resolved the network conflict it was fine. Great app but poor support.
Better than all the rest. Would be nice if you could stream to your device .works great my mates
Trying to stream to my nexus 7, everything seems to freeze when I try to play videos from my computer . Not very impressed. Everything worked as it should up to that final most important bit.
This app did not work at all. I need a refund.
