Absolutely gorgeous idea, especially, if it would be possible to use N9/50's screen as a touchpad, and N950's keyboard as a... keyboard . It would make it kinda "feature complete wireless keyboard/mouse", connectable via wifi, bluetooth PAN, or cable.

Even better would be XBMC

I honestly don't even know how to do that. As mentioned it's a request/response protocol. So a request to the server takes some time. I don't know how fast the whole movement works. The Keyboard will not be a problem. But the mouse could take some time, i don't want to spam the server with position commands every second.. :/

jalyst, yeah, since i put this on my Raspberry, XBMC could get support then.

Morpog:
I think Windows Media Center has the same API like Windows Media Player, we'll see

This is a very good project.
I would like to see, if possible, connecting to a linux machine and mouse interaction. This can be a nice presenter mouse. Probably over bluetooth....

Sorry, this project requires a internet / private network connection. Bluetooth will not be supported. But you could share your wlan connection on your notebook, and connect it with your N9.

mediamonkey?

1. MPlayer
2. XBMC
3. Audacious
4. Whatever nice uses you find for RP as I'm getting one myself too.

For client UI maybe a screen that shows installed/enabled modules as buttons. Pressing "MPlayer" would then show controls for that module. (Open file/select subtitle/play/ffd/rwd/volume etc.) and also a button to add custom argument(s) for the program being run.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but bluetooth PAN shouldn't act as a full-fledged network, with IP, correct protocols, and so goes on?

I still don't know anything about the UI, i think you will have one "Player-UI" and every player module will load this.

Estel,
i don't know anything about bluetooth. My App requires access to your server via tcp/ip.

I have holidays at the moment, so i won't code that much. But i have changed the protocol, which is much more faster than it was before. A request takes around 8msecs now (1.8 _Seconds_ before), and the server can send blind commands to the client. Like push messages, or later requests. The library is growing, but still a lot of improvements have to be done.

I would like to see:
- foobar, vlc, xmbc, mediamonkey
- sms from pc
