Hello Marcelo and team, I had an idea that think would help make Canola the even better and the ultimate killer app, but I don't know if it is possible. I'm posting it here so that if you like it you could develp it as a plugin or maybe someone else (I wish I could).

What I would like is to control the music on a remote PC via Canola.

I know that the IT tablet can control a remote PC via VNC or via a Web Based Interface but none of those ways can compare to the beautiful Canola interface so I was wondering if there could be a way to use the IT with Canola to control the music on a remote PC. Basically to browse the share of a PC on your network or index it another way, but instead of playing it and consuming it directly on your device, to play it on the remote PC.

Sort of like a SONOS type system. I know that there are other ways to do this like installing on the remote PC Alloysoft's Signal which helps you control winamp or Itunes via browser (not only on iphones, I've tried it with microb), but it doesn't have the fancy flick scrolling or the cool interface.

If this were possible you could use the IT on the road and on the car, but at home you would not need to hook it up to your stereo and you would have the computer's "infinite" storage capacity, the battery "should" last longer as you are not using as much resources and as with Sonos you would have your wifi's full coverage.

I don't know if I'm asking for too much, but a plugin like that would really kick butt!


Let me know what you think.

Tarkam.
