Remote Media Control

[ConsultingJoe]

I made this because I needed a easy way to control the music of the computer next to me while I'm gaming.

How to use:

1.) Run the server on the target computer.

2.) Run the client on the controlling computer.

3.) Enter the target computer name in the client.

4.) Run your favorite music player on the target computer.

5.) Use the media keys on the client computer to change the music on the target computer.

Keys available: (Pause/Play, Stop, Next, Previous)

Enjoy!

CLIENT

$ConnectedSocket = TCPConnect($szIPADDRESS,$nPORT)

Thanks, yeah it seems to work great.

[ConsultingJoe]

Updated, was missing a few lines of code. check first post.

Hmmm.... This could be useful as hell for one of those audio systems that goes through the house, wit speakers every where, and is controlled by a computer. You could be all on you laptop, and be like "hey dude , watch this!" *click*, and an awesome song starts going through the house. oohhhh so cool. Or maybe add internet capabilitie so you could send messages star trek style home. And they could send it back o_0. Ok I'm getting off topic but that would be awesome....

Yeah, you can easily make it internet capable.

Let's say you are bringing a date home, you can start the girls favorite song just as you walk in. What a turn on.

And no, not a Trojan.

Don't see how you could send home a trojan through that but maybe. :shrugs: And ya, thats not a bad idea...

*Runs to set up speakers throughout the house and add cellphone support...*
