[mythtv-users] MyMote iPhone Remote Control For Mythtv

[Chase Douglas]

Hi all,

I've been developing an iPhone application for remotely controlling  
Mythtv. Here's some of its features:

* Detects Mythtv backends using UPnP, and frontends from the backend   
settings
* Detects current location of frontend (in a menu, playing a  
recording, in program guide, etc.) and shows only the remote buttons  
you want to see for each location
* Allows for dynamically editing buttons in each location by moving  
and enlarging/shrinking buttons and by removing or adding buttons  
using a button picker dialog
* A program guide that can be zoomed in or out and panned around
* Channel icons in program guide
* Clicking on a program lists program details and allows for switching  
to the channel

The project is currently in an Alpha status. It is not yet feature  
complete (maybe 80% there). It also has a few bugs of course.  
Development information, screen shots, and a video can be found here: http://trac2.assembla.com/mymote/wiki/WikiStart 
.

Note that I will be distributing the application through the iTunes  
store when available (Sometime in June). Because of this, I have  
signed agreements with Apple stating that I cannot distribute the  
application myself. However, the code is open source, and any  
enterprising individual may build it for his or her self. I would  
kindly request that if you do so and you like it, please try to  
contribute $5 to help defray the costs ($105.69) of the Apple  
developer program.

Thanks,
Chase Douglas
