Basics ====== media-remote-control is a home-project to control an MPRIS/PulseAudio based media player over the network. I have a PC at home that runs on the top floor of my house, from which the sound is wired to both floors. Controlling it was a bit hard, as I had to go upstairs to switch to the next track, or to raise/lower the volume. Thus the idea came into my mind to write a small server software that controls this environment over the network. My phone is always at my hand, and is connected to my wireless network, so as my PC. media-remote-control runs on the PC, provides a RESTful API over HTTP with a specific port, and can be controlled from any AJAX-compatible browser. Known limitations ================= The protocol doesn't contain any authentication code yet. This may expose your media player to hackers who can control your player if they hack your network.
