    Documentation : Developing a remote control

    Hi,
    I want to develop a remote control (in a similar vein to iPeng) for Windows Mobile (mainly for fun and education). Is there any documentation on how to connect to the Server and retrieve song listings/playlists/album art etc and control the playback of songs? I've been digging through the wiki but I haven't found what I'm looking for yet.
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Dave

    There is also some good documentation in the help section of the SBS interface.
    rip, tag, get cover art… All you do is insert the CD!

    Thanks, I was looking at that but I could only find this that looked at all relevant http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.ph...otoTCPProtocol but it appears to be more about how the server talks to the player rather than how a remote can communicate with the server??

    Does anyone know where the CLI is fully documented?

    Documentation : Developing a remote control

    In the server:
    Help->Technical Information->CLI
    Or something like that

    Use a library

    I don't know if Windows Mobile will run Python, but I'm using this Python library called pysqueezecenter for my experiments.

    I'm sure there will be other libraries available for other languages as well.
