[demo] use your N900 as remote control for iTunes

Found really nice demovideo from youtube. It's about using N900 as remote for iTunes. Let's hope that this remote will be published as soon as possible!

I can’t tell you much but I can tell you I have been working with a developer who is creating a DACP Client for Nokia Sybmian including Maemo in 2011. I have been helping him debug using both TunesRemote+ for Android and MonkeyTunes he has made great progress.

Re: [demo] use your N900 as remote control for iTunes

Hi all,

CuteRemote is Qt/QML based client as the name hints. I've now completed the features I want to include in 1.0 version. After I've fixed few nasty bugs, I will give the client to few testers so that I'll get an idea if the app is ready for public.

I'm hoping to release this during the summer, but it depends on how the app works with my testers' devices and how many new bugs are found.

This looks great - if you want testers, I'll volunteer!

Re: [demo] use your N900 as remote control for iTunes

Hi,

Good news, I've just submitted the Maemo5 version to Ovi Store, so if all goes well it should be available soon. After that I'll submit Symbian version and finish the MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan version.

Re: [demo] use your N900 as remote control for iTunes

ovi store says not compatible with my device, n900

Re: [demo] use your N900 as remote control for iTunes

Should be any day now. There was some problems in QA process, so I had to update the app couple of times. The good part of that was that I got also Symbian and Harmattan versions ready. Now it seems that Symbian versions went through the gates faster than Maemo, but like I said should be available for N900 also very soon.

This might not be the place for this, but i downloaded Cuteremote for my N97mini, And am having problems, Do you have a support page at all?

Re: [demo] use your N900 as remote control for iTunes

@BenjiEssex1985 Sorry, I haven't noticed your message here. There's a facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/254396464576587 for support (you don't need to log-in to read) and you can contact me by e-mail izero79 (at) gmail.com.

Ovi Store publishing says that Maemo version should be available now, but at least I cannot see it with my N900 in finnish Ovi Store. Can someone check if it is available somewhere else? I need to contact Store to check what's going on there.

Re: [demo] use your N900 as remote control for iTunes

And now the N900 version seems to be in place in finnish Ovi Store. Hopefully everywhere else too.

Re: [demo] use your N900 as remote control for iTunes

I see that it works via wifi, but can it be configured to work via the internet, so I can use my phone to access my music while at work?

Re: [demo] use your N900 as remote control for iTunes

No it doesn't have such an option. I haven't actually test that would that be possible. Anyway, it's only remote control, so the music is not played from your device's speakers.

Re: [demo] use your N900 as remote control for iTunes

I bought cuteremote from Ovi store.
But it does not do anything, it just shows two buttons: Libraries and Add library.
The first shows an empty screen, the second a PIN code. That was it, then, nothing more...
How is it supposed to work?

Re: [demo] use your N900 as remote control for iTunes

This is great. I noticed there are two versions of the same product at the ovi store: a free and a 0.99$ version. Are they all the same?

Thank

Hi, 1.0.5 version which is already available for every other platform except Maemo5 (I don't know what takes so long with Maemo5 in Ovi Store QA) has one fix that helps in pairing in some environments. You can test the Lite version, that's already 1.0.5 version and has the fix. Just press add library and wait few secs and the device should be visible in your media player.

If it doesn't work, check the support page at facebook, basically you need to have N900 and your PC/Mac in same network and firewall accepting connections to media player.

Lite version has only the basic playback controls. Full version has playlist view, multiple speaker volume control, album list and rating control in player view.

A bit late now, but I've figured out a solution for anyone that wants to control their home player over the internet. I use it for controlling my icecast stream.

1. Install avahi-utils via apt-get -- This gives Maemo the ability to use zeroconf/bonjour/whatever_the_cool_kids_call_it
2. On the same network, pair cuteplayer with the player.
3. Still on the same network, run

Code:

avahi-browse -rt _touch-able._tcp

Which should output something like:

Code:

= wlan0 IPv4 (16 character hex ID#1)                              _touch-able._tcp     local

   hostname = [XXXX.local]

   address = [192.168.X.XX]

   port = [3689]

   txt = ["Ver=131077" "iV=196618" "DvTy=iTunes" "DvSv=2880" "iCSV=65539" "OSsi=0x1F7" "CtlN=(Library Name)" "DbId=(16 character hex ID#2)" "txtvers=1"]

4. On a different network, we can now setup a SSH tunnel like so:

Code:

ssh -C -L :3689:127.0.0.1:3689 -N (username)@(host) &

5. And finally, put the info above into avahi to advertise the player to cuteremote (change everything after 3689 to match your info):

Code:

avahi-publish -s (hex id #1) _touch-able._tcp 3689 txtvers=1 DbId=(hex id #2) CtlN='(Library Name)' OSsi=0x1F7 iCSV=65539 DvSv=2880 DvTy=iTunes iV=196618 Ver=131077

6. Launch cuteremote and it should be working.

You can save your commands from 4 and 5 to a shell script for easy launching.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

ssh -C -L :3689:127.0.0.1:3689 -N (username)@(host) &

trap "kill $!" 0 1 2 15

avahi-publish -s (hex id #1) _touch-able._tcp 3689 txtvers=1 DbId=(hex id #2) CtlN='(Library Name)' OSsi=0x1F7 iCSV=65539 DvSv=2880 DvTy=iTunes iV=196618 Ver=131077

I've adapted this technique from a DAAP (Library Sharing) port forwarding walkthrough at http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/201...nneling-redux/
