mControl Driver: Vista Media Center Controller

[JNBrook]

Is it possible to control Vista Media Centers from the Mcontrol web interface or the media center MCML interface? I only see the name of the media center to be controlled and nothing is available as far as commands. This would make a great touchscreen remote if all commands could be sent from the same interface. I would just have to run internet explorer in kiosk mode and oopen the http interface.

JNBrook,

No, not yet for the mControl for IE client or the mControl for VMC client, but if you check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO2QFHNowTE - you'll see that the mPanel software is capable of doing this.

Once mPanel is released, we are considering making the software available for other platforms (e.g., XP/Vista) - so you could run this on your UMPC. mPanel software is highly optimized for touchscreen operation.

Unfortunately, we probably won't get to this until Q4.
