[Release]iRemote v0.2 - Control Itunes on your PC with your iPhone

[wahkiz]

iRemote v0.2

If you are nowhere near your computer, and all you wanted to do is use your iphone to pause the music or fast forward to the next song. This is for you. And to make things even easier, iRemote is bundled with wkLive authentication. That means you do not need any home network, any router configuration for this to work. And no, you don't need VNC.

Instructions :
1. Download the attached archive. Extract, you will see 2 files and one folder.
2. Transfer the "iRemote.app" folder into your iphone, make sure you chmodded the entire thing 755.
3. Double click iRemote.exe on your pc, make sure that msscript.ocx is on the same directory as the program.
4. Login using your wkLive account on your pc as well as on your iphone.
5. Remember to have itunes switched on to work. (thanks dallas)
6. Have fun!

(thanks to modmyifone for hosting wkLive, without them all these are not possible.)
Technical :
- iRemote does not use your local network, instead it routes your commands to the internet and back to your pc. Therefore there is a significant lag between your iphone to your pc.

Works GREAT
Instruction to add, after you launch both on PC and Phone, make sure you launch ITUNES, choose directory of music, then choose shuffle if you want and wala it works

Thanks so much!

which is better TouchPadPro or iRemote? ... we need a poll for this

[jayteez]

i downloaded iremote a while ago and it works great.

[geft]

tried but very slow in functions may be 5 seconds in delay ... not that much interested. i want to know if touchpadpro has a similar delay or not.

[wahkiz]

Hi, the reason for the delay is because the commands are routed through modmyifone servers, not directly phone to pc. In the future I might include a function to communicate directly , but that will require your iphone and computer to be on the same network. iRemote v1 works that way.

touchpad pro works through vnc, but without displaying the video on the remote device. It's fast...virtually instant.

[Emrox]

whenever i send a command from my iphone there appears a error message on my desktop:

runtime error '429'

ActiveX-Components couldn´t create object: 'iTunes.Application'

whats wrong?

[wahkiz]

Did you launch itunes?

[STx]

Dude awesome release. This app is awesome!

[rkyle80]

I found iRemote on the installer and tried to install it and got an error saying it failed. I would just install it manually, but I am not able to chmod things. What do I do?
