Hello

I'm running an ubuntu machine and for the most part run play my music from my computer, which is connected to my hifi. Is there an application or a sensible method for controlling a computer over the wifi for the purpose of changing tracks, pausing, altering volume etc?

I am aware I could setup VNCing but I think this is a bit of a heavy handed method for skipping track pressing pause etc.

Thanks

You can use VLC Remote if you're using VLC on the PC.

Here's what I'd do:
install openssh-client on the phone and setup the ssh server n your Ubuntu box, then connect through SSH and play music on Ubuntus terminal using mplayer or moc (or something using mpd if you have that inclination).

Install this to server
http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp

And configure it. I think that itīs possible to configure layout that is more appropriate to small screen. And acces to your server with n900 web-browser and set it in jukebox mode.

.edit
btw. Does knots2 have this kind of mode?
