it is worth to try, bause i am working with a lot of IPcam stuff for hospitals on child stations. Will report back here.

I was looking for something like this a while back, will give it a try as it should save taking a web-cam away on business.
Will try out and let you know. First thing, would prefer cab install option if possible I know there are client drivers needed for windows side too I guess).
Noticed that the video overlay for the camera does not go when the program is closed. So far I've not been able to connect, but this is probably due to my network config at the moment (so will retry later).

I remember using this looong ago when I had my HTC Mogul... those were the days

how do i connect this to my server? i have set the ip adress and it cannot connect

I think you connect via the webcam driver settings. i.e. VLC
Media -> Open Capture Device
Select Video device name - it should be in the list
Configure - Will open if the device is present and you should be able to press connect. You might see it pop up a message on your device when you do (too quick to read - i guess connecting etc).
Hopefully you'll get the images coming through (I get coloured striped display but that is probably due to the network I'm currently on has proxies etc).

I tried to use it on my HTC HD2 running Artemis 58 with radio 2.15......
I cannot seem to connect it to my computer via WiFi. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Yeah still get the test card, even on a standard network setup. Will have a try with some other programs and let you know if I succeed.

Tried it on HTC-HD2
Hi,
Have tried this on my HTC-HD2 and it say register to use free period is over.
Any other solution?
Cheers!

Is this the same as this?

I've had success using it previously on my Blackjack II (WinMo 6.0). And I've tried to run it on my hTc Pure (WinMo 6.5), but it keeps freezing up.

so it is now pay ware so far we can see. For this there is a special forum thread. Possible the admin can move it to there...
But there is the other solution from rc colonel - RC Camera (Link). I working with that a very long time.

I use it a very long time now for parents who's childs are in a hospital. We have installed some axis ptz cams (4x) in a hospital near my home city (~ 20 KM). We advise this to the parents for the mobile device or via a website on the PC. I have informed rccolonel some time ago to have a special version, but i think he is no longer online or busy with android. So i hope he will read this .
BTW:
in my free time i am working in a special community for this kind of stuff (paper, color pens, toys, hospital clowns, and...and...and...).
BTW 2:
follow this link and you can download the latest beta from rc camera

rc-camera differs to this app since it's for using an ip-camera and the phone as a monitor, where this one attempts to use the phone's camera as the web-cam. I like the idea, but so far it doesn't work the way I've tried it (clearly it's not trivial thing to code).
BTW:
Well (to be slightly off topic here) I'll let you know if I get on with an Android app I have planned which will be suitable for children reading, might end up being of use. Can't get a better cause than that to be involved with!

cant seem to get it working
i installed the cab and that automatically installed it on my phone (omnia i900) when i open the app on my phone it displays the camera, but when i tap the "start" button it kinda freezes, the little rotating icon ippear and its like "thinking" but it never really conects, right now am using "mobiola web camera" and it does work but i dont like the output quality of it, the resolution and quality es too low, so i tought id try this put, but nope, nothing.
could i be doing something worong?... oh by the way, am using this on windows 7 x64.
Edit: aparently i got it working.

[APP] TouchRC - Control Media Center from your phone.

I have written an app called TouchRC to enable me to control my windows media center (vista and windows 7) from my phone.
Download link and screenshots can be found on the codeplex site here.
I will try and pad this post out a bit more as soon as i get decent amount of time to do it!
A couple of screen shots here...

Nice! Too bad I have Media Center 2005 or I would love this.
i will try it
i cant get the wmcontroller app to work in WIndows 7 RC'
does anyone knows what to do
I tried to get this potentially great software to work with Vista Premium incl. TV Pack but whenever I start VMC I get an error message 'can't load...' :-(
Any help is most welcome.
what are the limitations of this software, evorgevol?
specifically the following 4:
- what type of connection(s) does it use to connect to VMC/w7MC (wifi only, or bt optional)?
- is it intelligent enough to work with VMC plugin's? (my movies, MCEweather, daemon tools etc)
- is this a complete replacement for an MCE remote - ie, could i remove the IR-transmitter/reciever?
- is it intelligent enough to realise what menu it is in, and filter out un-used options (ie: 'channel change' and 'record' would be removed if in pictures/dvd area)?

It connects over TCP/IP, so it would have to be connected to your local area network.
This is only really a simple program that interacts with the VmcContoller application, so can only do reasonably basic stuff. I have added functionality to so that it can use the MyMovies application metadata, though most of this is still in progress.
It depends on what you use your remote for as to whether this can be a complete replacement. I currently dont have, and have no intentions in the near future of, having a number/keyboard pad. So if you use these a lot, then it probably won't be a full replacement.
I had planned to make the now playing screen a bit more wise about what type of media is playing, and display different icons accordingly, but this has been marked as more a of a 'nice to have' in the application which i might work on in the future, but have other things I'd rather get working first.
Hope that answers some of your queries...
evorgevol
indeed they all are 'nice-ities', and it wont stop me considering playing with your app.
thanks for answers
Unfortunately, the media center network controller software can not be installed on a Vista X64 pc. I would really like to use this app on my mobile device!
Regards,
André
Man this is absolutely awesome!!!
I don't have a MS MediaCenter solution but MythTV, so I wanted to do the same app like you did but for MythTV quite a while.... I already gave up in searching a usable GUI framework like your Fluidity and started writing my own (Which took basically up all my time so far - that's why there is not even an app yet ... But your solution kicks the living sh**t out my little approach.
Is it ok if I borrow up the framework and perhaps some junks of code from your app??? I don't think I'd get it done better if I would try myself, so it would be nice if I wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel. I will of course list you in the credits page of the app.
I spend some hours browsing through your code and I think I got almost through in understanding how the controls basically work. The only thing I miss is the complete overview of how the binding to the actual data is done. The idea with the Templates for the single Items is pretty neat and makes it extremly flexible!

Thanks for reminding me... I forgot to give the original author credit!!! The control framework I use on TouchRC is called Fluid controls, and it's on codeplex here.
I will update my codeplex to give him the credit he deserves, I certainly wouldnt have been able to do any of my app without it!!
Just for thought though, if you create a TCP/IP server for your app, and use the same receive commands as VmcController, then you should just be able to use my app entirely! Or, if you do make it different, and you want me to, I can add your commands to my app too, so that the user would be able to control both windows and myth from the same application!

Can you load up the http server for vmc? (ie, on a diff computer, go to http://hostpc:40510) and see if that works? if it doesn't, then it probably means that VmcController isn't working properly. If this is the case, then revert to the codeplex site of VmcController to ask for help.
Thanks,

Ah, I saw the codeplex page but I somehow thought you guys were the same
Thanks a lot for the offer, but I plan to build a 'richer' remote client for MythTV. Means, besides a remote control function I want to be able to browse the Program Guide, Recordings, Movies, Music, Pictures on the phone and select them to play on the PC/TV.
And I have some other ideas which would be pretty neat, but for now I am already happy if I get the above items finished. (technically thats usually no prob, but once you solved all the tiny little problems and know how to code the whole thing it often gets boring )

Good to know. I'am going to keep a close eye on your project
Hey evorgevol,
any updates on the app yet?
I now have the basic server + client API done so far for my project. I hope I'll reach the alpha state up to your level within the next 1 or 2 months... Then it should really go quick...

I've been stupidly busy recently, so haven't had any chance to work on it for a while. I'm hoping that will change next month. I have made some minor updates to it (but not checked it in), but won't be making another release for a couple of weeks yet. Hopefully soon though!!! How's yours coming along?

[APP][Supports: VLC/iTunes/WMP/WMPC] dRemote [Major update: 07 June '09]

Hey XDA!
I've recently been working on an application, called dRemote, that will allow you to control windows media player anywhere in the world.
As soon as you hit play on your mobile, the pc will hit play on windows media player and starts playing music through the pc's speakers.
This is an Client-Server application which means that the dRemote server must be running on the pc you would like to control. Then the client will connect to the pc via the internet, this way you don't need to worry about having to walk to the pc to switch songs or pause.
You could play music upstairs while your downstairs in the living room.
For me it's useful because I sometimes practice downstairs and I prefer using speakers because you get a better bass out of them.
Imagine being able to chill back and relax, watch a video and pause without having to run all the way (lol) to the pc to pause it.
This will also work for videos.
You can also view/select your playlists and songs from your mobile phone!
Suggestions/ideas are welcome!

Very usefull! Great work.
very nice program... but I have been wondering.... under what situation you need that software except that
1. it extended the range of a remote (but if you're too far away from the computer, you probably can't hear the music)
2. you want to scare away someone when you're not at home (provided that you actually know the situation at home)
my idea is, to make the software more "meaningful", you may consider to add the ability that, streaming the the song to your device from the host computer.
therefore even you don't have the physical files on your phone (maybe space limitation?) you can still listen the songs as long as you have them on your playlist. does that make a little bit more sense?

It is indeed an option I will look into.
However many people reported this to be very useful when you're sitting outside and u got the speakers turned up, or you are in the living room and would like to put on another song without walking to the pc.
I find it very useful to train with, I don't have a mirror upstairs so I go downstairs, but I don't have speakers there and I hate to run up and down to change/replay a song.
This app is awesome and to have a remote app that works of the internet work a genius. Something i thought should have been created ages ago.
I just have one small issue when i go to retrieve playlists the server on the pc crashes. It gets the information from the 'client Says: Playlists' but then windows says 'dServer has encountered a problem and needs to close' etc .
If there is a debug file or need more info ill give it to you as i would love to have this app working for me
Also im running XP SP3 if that has any bearing.
Also probably a stupid question but do you have to have the server running to use the other programs such as itunesm, wmp etc?

Alright, let's run through the procedure shall we
You have extracted dRemote_Server_v0.3.1.zip to a folder on your pc.
Make sure you put the DLLs in the same folder.
Now start the server, specify the ports and click "Enable"
Now click on Add Playlist, locate a .wpl file (Windows Media Player Playlist).
Now you can load the client and try to refresh the playlists.
Yeh ive done that exactly and i still get the issue heres what i get
Also i am using a .wpl playlist

Thank you for the report
very cool concept. Ill try it as soon as i can
woop woop it works and it is awesome, part from the slight lag but i can understand that as it uses the internet to work
Also i found another bug when i select a song from the playlist to play i get an error as well on the server and it crashes and exits??
And a small request on the server can you make an option to minimize to tray as i would run it in the background constantly and therefore like to not have it taking up space on the old taskbar.

Anyone here use X10 Home Automation?

Hi all,
Just out of curiosity does anyone here use X10 devices and more importantly use HomeSeer?
I've almost finished my Home Automation app for Android and may be looking for some testers.
Thanks Matt.
Yes, I do.
Wow, I shure want to test this.
I use the "old" version of Homeseer. I'm at work now, and don't know the version number.
It should work fine with either 1.5 or 2. You just need the web interface enabled and you need to copy a script into the html folder on the pc.
I've got a couple of things I know about which I need to fix first but then it would be good to get someone elses opinion. It does exactly what I wanted it to do (obviously) but you may have ideas which you would like implented.
Seems to work really well though. I can control my whole house from the phone now and best of all the layouts are all done dynamically so you don't have to sit there for ages designing your GUI like I used to with netremote on windows mobile.

Hi Matt,
I do indeed! Would love to have access from my hero. Homeseer is a great piece of software!! Any chance of having a test at it?
I've got a couple of things I need to do, a confirmation box on the delete device/event menu, and a background image on the add device screen as I;ve had a weird problem with the scrollview squashing the background picture when the virtual keyboard displays on the screen.
Once i've done this I'll get together a tme limited beta so you can all have a look and make any suggestions.
If all is ok then i'm gonna put this one on the market for a couple of quid and see if people like it.
I know it's not going to be a big seller as it is currently limited to homeseer and I really can't be bother to write a full HA app for the pc .
Homeseer does everything I need but the web interface is far to clunky for th mobile. I know you can use the touchpad interface but I find having coded real buttons and UI speeds things up so it is actually usual.
I'll keep you all informed. I may do some screen grabs later to show you what i'm working on.
Matt.

Add me to your list of interested parties.
(I don't run HomeSeer, I have my own i.e. source code, app)
Matt this looks great! I'd love to give this a trial. I'd pay for this if it's as good as it looks. Can we get a time limited trial?
Hi, Sorry for the delay in replying i've been a bit busy the last few weeks.
I've sorted out pretty much all the things I needed to for Version 1. Just need to sort out one last thing and then I'll do a time limited beta for those interested.
I also need to write some simple manuals to show how to set it all up. It really is quite simple. I expect there are many other features that I could include but I just want it to be quicj to configure and I want it to work! I used it for all my x10 stuff over the last couple of months and it works flawlessly in my environment.
On the pc side all you need to do is copy a single script file info the homeseer folder. I'll prob package this up as an MSI to make things easier for people.
Thanks for the interest.
Matt.
Excellent Matt. Will we be able to use this over the data network or will it be wifi only? I'm constantly having problems with homeseer on the standard hero browser with lockouts.
Hi,
Ok, a very good question and one that I already have asked myself.
At the moment you enter the web address of the homeseer web server nto droidseer for it to send the commands to. This address can either be a internal ip address which can then be used over wifi or an external address (dyndns, no-ip etc) that can be accessed from gprs/3g.
I seem to remember that if you try to access an external address using a dyndns/no-ip address from your internal network it doesn't work always as you get your external ip address back which can't be accessed from your inside network.
I'll have to do some testing as i'm even confusing myself here!
I think my final idea was to be able to configure multiple addresses to connect to the homeseer server, if one fails it will try the next. This way if you are home on wifi it will use the inernal address, if you are away from home it will use the external adresss.
Simples!
Matt.
Sounds good Matt! Like i said i have issues with the standard browser using dyndns. Not sure why but it would seem the browser does not retain its password info for homeseer and after 3 connects you get locked out. When your using homeseer and the android browser across gprs/3G and dyndns do you experience this problem? I'm led to believe it's a security feature in homeseer to stop unauthorised access. Not sure if SSL connection would resolve this. I have the same problem using safari on the iphone. Windows mobile does not seem to have this problem as my experia worked perfectly.
Cheers,
John
Hi all,
I believe I now have a version ready for some real world testing. It works fine in my environment and I use it everyday so we'll see how it goes.
It is a fully featured Time Limited version that will expire on the 1st December so it gives you a while to have a play around and see what you think.
There is an APK file for install on your phone, a script file that needs to be copied onto the pc running homeseer and a PDF Manual explaining how to set it all up.
If you are interested in giving it a test then please PM me with your e-mail address and what version of Homeseer you are using just so I know what it has been tested on.
Thanks for your interest.
Matt.

Ok,
Droidseer Beta is now live on the Android Market in Beta form ready for some testing for whoever wants to give it a go!
The website is now live too at http://www.spvsoft.co.uk/droidseer
There you'll find everything you need to know including the User Guide.
Hope you like it and be sure to let me know what you think!
Matt.
Off topic here, but someone know if there is a WM app too for X10 automation?
I used to use Promixis NetRemote and the HSGirder plugin for Homeseer. It worked fine but you had to completely design your own interface in the designer program and the buttons are all hard coded. So when you add a new device to your system you have to edit your design and add the new button. That was the main reason why I designed DroidSeer to be Dynamic.
Get an Android device I used to always have WinMo devices ever since the first SPV but Microsoft missed out on the whole app market thing and I think they are a little too late to the game now. Most developers have moved on the iphone or android now.
Matt.

[Shopsavvy alternative] Mobiletag

Hi,
Has anyone tried this before? I works very well on my touch HD. The integrates a price comparator does quite a good job. It even allows you to search locally using gps. However, recognition is not perfect. For example when I scan the barcode of 'Canon BCI-3eBK inkjet cartridge', it finds 'Canon PGI5BK inkjet cartridge'. Furthermore it shows me a picture of a shoe instead of the product figure.
The software is also able to recognize different kinds of tags which it does a perfect job.
Screenshot:

This is definitely the best barcode scanner I ever used and I would absolutely recommend it.
Link mobiletag.
Tested it on HTC touch HD, wm 6.1 original rom NL
Dont work in LEO
Camara failed!
A workaround for the camera has been reported. There are some people who got it to work after activating the camera separately. That is, first start Mobiletag, start the camera trough the home screen and switch back to mobiletag.
Hope it helps. For the best recognition you have to scan very near the barcode. So I don't think devices without autofocus will work properly. Furthermore, it only seems to capture on daylight or other circumstances with propriate light condition.
So weird... I had a really hard time finding the correct version of this for my phone, and an even harder time getting it to work!
I tried the Touch Pro 2 version of it first since that is what I have (CDMA Sprint branded), and it seemed to load a QVGA version... so I tried the Diamond 2 version, and it sort of loaded the camera but didn't look anything like the screenshots here and wouldn't recognize the barcodes. Also, it was not in English.
Finally, I selected the Touch HD version, and I got what you see here and it worked... sort of. It would identify the barcode, then freeze. I turned off the option to search by GPS location proximity, and then it seemed to work OK.
Neat app, but like this it only seem useful for comparing against online services like amazon. The GPS nearby store search would have been cool.

Going to the website it only seems to list ancient HTC devices. when you say you selected the diamond 2 version where are you looking? under HTC it lists supported devices as Startrek, s710, s620, Prophet & Meteor.
I would be happy to try out the diamond 2version if I could locate it

Just use the mobile version of the website:
http://m.mobiletag.com/go/tag_english
would be sweet but it isn't geared for the US.
Anyone know of a good US version?
Kinda annoying
....having to select HTC Touch Pro2 every single time I open the program(even if I already click on the "Remember This Choice"
Works well.
Overall, cool program to play with.
I'm trying it on my Touch HD. It scans the barcode ok but then I get Server Error when it try to look it up. That is with GPS either enabled or disabled. Ideas ?
These guys seem to have problems with their servers. 3 out of 4 times I got an connection error.
Also while it says it uses shops from your location it still shows me amazon.com and not amazon.de
I just hope Shop Savvy finally releases the Windows Mobile version, it´d be the first windows mobile app that I buy.
Working on my blackstone,but after scanning most of the times gives the message "cannot retrieve data,check your internet parameters".
Possibly their servers problem?

Mobiletag for windows mobile??
I've tested it on my HTC touch HD and it does everything it's supposed to do well but, big big problem: it eats my battery in about two days!!!
I've closed it after every try, I've run Sktools and nothing seems to have being running or remained resident after exiting the program, but the fact is that after removing it everything got back to normal.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Anybody outside US got this searching local websites?
I chose £ for UK in settings but only get US sites.
great app , but...
great app, but too many server error and no local DB support !!!!
scans and decoce better and faster than BarcodeZilla....
( on my OMNIA II )
maybe with litlle hack - add support for local DB - and mobiletag is the best !

This app works great man. Is there any setting to make it autosync anything you make?
I tried evernote long ago but didn't find it much use since there was no winmo app. Any tips or tricks?

There are 3 votes for autosync so far, which does not quite bring it to the top of my to-do pile, but you can help to change that.

Evernote has a WinMo app, but it is pretty bare-bones and has not been supported for a long time.

I'm not sure what you mean by sending notes through bluetooth. Would you elaborate?
Adding more colour schemes is unlikely. The app currently includes two versions of the interface, one for high-resolution displays and one for the low. With more variants of each, it could quickly become unmaintainable. I can't change the background colour programmatically either, because it is baked into the graphics. They are all dithered for 16-bit colour, and dithering is incompatible with transparency.

It's simply you can send the notes you have to another device, say to another phone or pc, using bluetooth.

The thing I wonder about is what to do with the note on the receiving end. Official Evernote clients cannot properly transfer notes outside of synchronization. Exporting to HTML is possible, but would raise the question of what to do with file attachments.
Of course, if you can connect to internet through Bluetooth, then you can simply sync.

Yeah i remember trying it out specifically because they had one, but it was terrible. Yours works great on my htc touch pro 2 though, so thanks
Perfect timing: I just started trying out Evernote this week and wasn't really keen on Evernote's own application because it's useless offline. And here comes your app and looks great.
I got one problem, though: It refuses to connect via wifi. No problem at all via 3G, but on WiFi it steadily shows "connecting".
Oh, and being able to create new tags would be a good addition.

Thanks for complimenting the app. I have not used WiFi in a while, but will try to reproduce your problem.
Started a new work item for tag creation: http://peoplesnote.codeplex.com/workitem/1005.
Voting on feature requests gets them implemented sooner.
Since restarting my phone a few times, the app doesn't hang up while trying to connect via WiFi anymore - it just takes way longer than via 3G for some reason, but it's usable.
Edit: Forget about the described problem. I'm sure it was a generally lagging WiFi connectivity that day. It works like a charm in other WiFi networks and now at the same one, too.
I apologize for taking so long to release a new version — just did not have much time to spare. Version 0.38 implements one of the most-requested features, letting you choose "All Notebooks" to browse, search, and sync all your notebooks together.
http://peoplesnote.codeplex.com/releases/view/83479
Great App!
Great App! Working on my old Axim X51V!
I see on your website that you have Notes popping up with a timed alarm reminder as low priority. Let me put in a vote for higher priority.
I would use it as a timed "sticky note" to myself to do something.
Keep up the good work!
Just released version 0.39, making it possible to delete notes from the main note list screen via a tap-and-hold menu.
http://peoplesnote.codeplex.com/releases/view/84127
Version 0.40 adds an option to compact the database from the profile screen. Compacting a database can make it smaller and faster by removing empty spaces left over by editing, moving, and deleting notes.

cant log in
It must be just me; since nobody else has mentionned it; but I cannot log in to evernote at all on my HD2. On 3G it immediately comes back with network error (never even tries to open a data connection). On wifi it seems to be trying to do something in the background but after a few minutes to just goes back to the login screen.
Any ideas??

It sounds like the WiFi connection is slow and times out. With 3G, try to establish a data connection first, such as by opening a web browser. I just created a work item for this: workitem:1055.
0.41 release
After a temporary break, development continues. Version 0.41 adds some more polish to the user interface, as well as a new in-app player for WAV file attachments.

Regrads,

This program is making all the right steps in all the right directions, it has great prospects.
There are some features that Evernote has that I hope would arrive in this software in the not-too-distant future. I make more handwritten notes that any other form of note taking, and what I find with 'PeoplesNote' is that the 'Ink Note' feature is just a one page scribble pad without any option to scroll or add a page. It would be fantastic if the Ink Note feature of PeoplesNote could automatically scroll as the old Windows Note does as you approach the bottom of the page. Evernote's Ink Note recognises that you are reaching the bottom of the page and facilitates extra space to scroll into. Additionally, it would be very helpful to have an erase feature with Ink Note.
Please don't take this as criticism, I can see this app being extremely useful for as long as Evernote allow you to develop it.
