Update: Goal Reached! Thanks to all who supported!
Project Update #6: Additional goals and ideas
Posted by VideoLAN
Dear backers,
This evening, we crossed our goal of £40,000. Thanks again for your generous support and for allowing us to realize our project!
Any further money coming in will greatly speed up the availability of our port of VLC to Windows Phone 8, since it will allow us to parallelize the workload of the ports to Windows 8 / RT and Phone.
Furthermore, we would like to propose a few additional features, on which we will be working full-time after the initial release is done and as long as money is left:
camera input support — This allows you to record anything your connected cameras can see and to stream it live where ever you like.
DLNA client and server integration — Play media stored on DLNA capable servers on your Windows RT tablet or Windows Phone — Stream everything VLC can play on your tablet or Windows 8 PC to your DLNA capable devices (Xbox, ...).
integration with locally attached devices for media playback and synchronization
Smartglass support
Thanks again for all your feedback and your support. We are looking forward to go all-in on this project!

The betatest is closed. Thank you!
Hi,
I'm the developer of Media Center Control. With this remote control for your Windows Mobile device you can control your Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center. It's designed for Windows 7, but it works for Windows Vista Media Player also. On Windows Vista there is no Media Center support. To use it with your Media Center, Windows 7 is a must have.
Media Center Control isn't only a normal remote control. It's more a port of the Media Center UI to your smartphone. You are able to browse the media content on your phone and then start playback/recording on your PC. It's possible to control music, movies, photos and tv broadcast on your phone. Media Center Control establishes a connection to your PC via Bluetooth - which is very power saving - or via TCP/IP (Wifi for example). It's also possible to browse your EPG over the internet and then schedule records. Watch the screenshot to get a quick overview of what it is.
Now I'm searching beta tester for the closed beta test. What you will need to help me testing:
- Windows 7 (Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center)
- Windows 7 Media Center for TV/EPG features
- Windows Mobile 6.x device with bluetooth and/or WiFi
- It's highly recommed to use bluetooth because it's much more power saving than WiFi. You will need a bluetooth enabled PC and WM device to use this connection type.
If you are interested to help testing and your device configuration met the requierments, please post a comment here or leave a private message. I then will give you more instructions for registering as a beta tester.
Thanks in advance!
Hey n1 2 see someone takes care of this prob!
Many iPhone apps on market but no useful and touchfriendly win prog.
I see in HD2/Leo area many threads about this question. I think many members will be happy. I make some links
MaTT

*push*
Betatester around the world wanted!
I'd like to try this app.
I'm a Media Center User since 2004 version (now on windows 7) and own an Hd2.
Bye
I've got a window 7 media center machine with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard (and a bluetooth dongle which I can pair with my phone)
And a touch pro 2 running energyrom so I'd be glad to test this.
Hi,
I am also interested, I am running a windows 7 Media Center (accessible through WiFi) and a Windows 7 standard-installation accessible through bluetooth (MC might be upgraded with bluetooth, but dongle is currently making some problems). My mobile has both bluetooth and Wifi
Sincerely

Hey,
I am also interested in beta testing. My "server" is running Windows Media Center 7 (64bit) and is streaming live-TV to an xbox and Linksys Extender. It would be great to easliy access all the media with my phone and the most appreciate function would the EPG one. Really looking into that.
I have a HTC HD2 running CleanEX HyperROM Ultimate v11.5.
I hope you will let me test the app for you ^^.
Me 2 whant to help you, us
Hi,

i would like to give you my help by testing this app.
i have different pc's with windows 7 32bit and own a hd2.
good luck anyway! hope the gui is smooth!
Any news about this app?
Any release date 4 all?
Sounds really cool. I'm a long time Media Center user since the early days of XP MCE. Currently running Win 7 Media Center X64 on a dedicated HTPC in my living room. If you still need beta testers (I own a HD2) you can count me in.
I, if you need i'm here to help
Hd2 owner with w7 media center (3 Computer with w7) and also HTC Diamond and Vista if needed.
do you plan epg integration?
I'm willing to help beta test. WM7x64 with a TP2 running my own rom. I have a bluetooth dongle somewhere around here, but Wifi would be my preffered choice (meaning I can test both).
Edit: I love the way the UI looks.
Thank you very much, but in the moment no more tester are requiered.
I have 3 W7 media centers in my house would LOVE to help test this ..
Would want to try too.
Multiple W7 Ultimate machines and my Sony X1
Hi,
how is the development going ?
I would really apprechiate to test this app, sadly I missed your post in Time.
(I have Win 7 Home Premium/Ultimate as well as various wm-devices).
Do you already have any idea when the app will be released to public ?
Greetings
I'm very interested to see how Google navigates the 'Live TV' area of the Nexus Q home entertainment machine. Google TV hasn't exactly taken off as they had expected for a number of reasons - namely high price and buggy, hard to understand implementation. I'm hoping they've learned from their mistake with the Nexus Q.
Right now my home TV setup is comprised of a live TV server (Windows Media Center on Windows 7) and then an Xbox 360 running as a media center extender. This bring me live, HD TV with a great UI and total DVR functionality. It's decent, but a bit of a pain to launch the MCE App on the Xbox when you want to watch TV.
Google bought SageTV almost exactly 2 years ago. SageTV consisted of a media server running on a home PC which provides all DVR functionality, and then SageTV 'placeshifter' which allowed you to watch TV, including premium cable content with a Cablecard, to any of their supported platforms.
SageTV was java-based, which means it is wholly possible that Google could be writing it into the Android platforum and the Nexus Q would be a perfect 'Extender' device. I'm hoping that Google might be working on this as a large secret project so that they can dominate the home entertainment ecosystem.
To me this would be the 'holy grail' of home entertainment. A box that supports both on-demand content (YouTube, Netflix, Music) as well as Live TV.
Does anyone think this is possible? Would you use such a setup?
I think your looking more for a Google TV than the Nexus Q. It's strange to kind of have competing boxes but the Nexus Q seems just for streaming content and the ability to easily share from phone/tablet to your entire house depending on how many you have.
Why they just didn't ad some of these functions to the Google TV product I don't know.
But a nexus q as a front end working with say hdhome turner and feeding streams out Google tv.....god I want this, I love my htpc but I want something like android for the popularity

Hello,
is there any app which can provide a dlna server on my Lumia 920 with WP8.1? Ich want to have the possibillity to browse the files stored inside my smartphone with my enigma2 driven set top box.
I tried "Nokia Play to", "Smart Player" and some other apps from the windowsphonestore but as far as i know they are just Players and no servers. With These apps i can browse the server on my set top box but i can not send files to the Server. Is there any solution for my issue?
Thanks for your help
"Nokia PlayTo" is DLNA server, not a player. But you need Nokia handset to run this app. AFAIK, there are no other DLNA servers for WP7/WP8 but WP 8.1 has new API called "PlayTo". Unfortunately in dev preview this API implementation lacks of server functionality ("regular" Windows 8.1 has, I've played video from Surface tablet to my TV). Hope, MS will add this functionality to WP 8.1 release and we'll see a lot of DLNA servers/players in Store
Thank you for your help. So i will wait until MS fixes this problem.
The Microsoft Store is packed with great apps specially optimized to run on Windows 10 devices, but there's so much choice it can be hard to know which are the best. That's why we've created this roundup of all the apps we'd install first on our own devices.
Microsoft is pushing hard to increase the number and quality of apps in its store, and is even testing a feature that will allow apps to be installed remotely across devices, which makes them an even more appealing prospect. We'll keep this guide updated as more apps become available and existing ones are improved.
1. Adobe Photoshop Express
A slimmed-down version of Adobe’s industry-leading photo editor, Photoshop Express is ideal for touchscreens, letting you optimize your photos with just a few taps and slides of a finger.
There’s a selection of ‘Looks’ to choose from. These are similar to Instagram filters, but offer much more choice, as well as options designed for specific types of image. For example, there are skin-smoothing filters made specially for portraits, and others designed to bring out the blues and greens of landscapes. You can crop, flip and straighten your images, adjust exposure and color, apply vignettes, heal blemishes, and correct red-eye. If you’re really in a hurry, there’s even a one-tap Auto Enhance tool.
2. VLC
VLC is an open source media player that's available for any Microsoft device you care to name, including PCs, mobile devices, Xbox and HoloLens. It’s also compatible with pretty much every media file type there is, without the need to download any additional plugins or codecs.
When you first launch VLC Media Player, it will automatically detect any connected storage devices and offer to use them to store your media library, or copy media from there to your Windows 10 device’s internal storage.
From there, the controls are wonderfully simple, and it’s even possible to lock them so you don’t skip a scene through clumsy accidental tapping.
The version of VLC in the Microsoft Store doesn’t support DVD and Blu-ray playback – for that, you’ll need the full desktop software – but for everything else the Universal Windows app is a great choice.
