VNC is great, but is too much overhead for simply controlling foobar2000 with. If there was a plugin that would act as a VNC server, but instead of showing the screen, show a small version of the controls and playlist, this would be prefect. It would allow easy adaptation to ANYTHING that can talk to the host computer over TCP/IP. I was hoping to find a plugin like this so I could control foobar with my Palm over a TCP/IP connection, but found that, while WinHand and VNC worked, they were not the right size or too cumbersome to control my car MP3 system with. Is there a version of what I described above for foobar somewhere?
Npt entirely sure if its of use to you, but I use Ultra-VNC as it allows me to 'zoom' onto a single window io.e. just foobar which increases the performance of VNC dramatically.
But I don't think it will work on your palm http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/ (http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/)
I use that too, but its still too slow and hard to use on a palm. I need something that will let me control it easily while I am busy driving. Something like the interface of BtAmp, but less glitchy.
Think of it this way. We need a virtual screen, 320x320 resolution, that shows a skin appropriate for this use, and controls foobar2000.
X forwarding...
not in windows. Even if I could, it still leaves us with a bulky interface inappropriate for use on a palm handheld. High-res devices will allow you see see clearer, but remember that your fingers are still the same size, so it's a moot point.
