RemoteMusicServer

It's a server side for Remote Music app, that allows you to control media of your computer, from your phone.

Installation

Download latest .exe from releases page, run it and that's it! At least from server side, because ofcourse, you have to install android app as well, for it to make any sense.

Additional configuration

Autostart

If you want the server to run on windows startup, you can throw it into user's startup folder: C:\Users\{USER}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup, where {USER} is just yours user folder name. If you go to C:\Users, you will find it! I also suggest you to check Hide on start, so you could forget about app whatsoever, and just use it when you need it.

Port

Default port is... default, if you want to change it, just do it. But don't forget to change it also on mobile!

Config file

You can find config file in: C:\Users\{USER}\AppData\Roaming\YApps\RemoteMusicServer. It's very simple, so I didn't bother using JSON/YAML for it. Also, better leave it alone, I don't think you will ever need to touch it.

Some last words...

This project was made mainly for my personal use, because I hated that I needed to stand up from my couch, just to change music volume on my pc. Also e.g UnifiedRemote didn't cut it, cause it only allows you to manage media from the app itself, and not by using volume buttons. Aand whether there was another app doing exacly what I wanted, I didn't bother searching for it xD

So, the app is as it is.

  • there is no password or user system
  • it only works on local network (same wifi for your pc and phone (it could work outside lan, if you forwarded some ports, but it would be insecure))
  • everyone with this app, in the same network as you, can manage media on you computer. The only "barrier" is your port, that you can change to almost random
  • app (server and mobile), is not beautiful, and will never be
