The protocol is MUCH more elaborate than that program makes you believe. I would have created a volume slider for the volume itself and added much more options than whats in mythmote from Android Market. I haven't published an Android App yet but I'm pretty good at programming. You may have just given me a good idea for my next project.<br><br>Hey, not to crash your Network Controller Protocol or anything but wouldn't it be easier to add status codes like "404 Command Not Found" or "200 OK." That makes the protocol a little more universal if the numbers relate to a type of error since the text for the error could change. Although, I did see that you at least report "ERROR:" which makes a good
matching ground for now. Just an idea. I like the concept of a universal bi-directional controller. Should implement a "Status" query as well to let the "controller" know what its currently doing (Playing Music, Watching Videos/Recordings, Menu, Web, etc) so the proper controls can be presented depending on what screen you are currently at. You should also allow Position Mouse Commands along with Press Left/Middle/Right Button. A simple box could be drawn on the Android Phone to allow users to use the phone itself as a sort of "Touch Pad" while surfing the web, etc. Just ideas...<br><br>Raymond Boettcher<br><br>--- On <b>Fri, 11/9/12, Raymond Boettcher <i><raymondboettcher@yahoo.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Raymond Boettcher <raymondboettcher@yahoo.com><br>Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] RS232 Control<br>To:
