Hope it's ok to start a new thread, but to continue under the old when i cant' find a way to change the subject of an existing thread felt linappropriate...
Well, after getting tons of errors/crashes in all skins i've tried and on all pcs, the lack of an out-of-the box right click on the touchscreen, netremote is sliding... I may wait, but compared to ML/CQC development env, it falls short and seems far more complex to use.
The wife's frustrations with Netremote go beyond just the ipaq usage (which i agree is mostly not netremotes fault)... But the inability to do anything, the errors (maybe the crashes are bugs in the skin i'm using?), her frustrations of how to clear the current queue, how to add en entire album, not a song. The latter is mostly the lack of a right click on the touchpad, but still... She's called me up multiple times today out of frustration and at this point is willing for me to spend whatever it takes to get the job done so it works. Some things i could fix in building my own interface or fixing bugs in the existing ones (i.e. flatstyle search is hidden behind treeview!!! that is frustrating as hell - esp for her)
After getting a demo and answers to specific questions i had on dynamic display / media repository from IVB, i spent a couple of hours yday playing around with CQC and i'm now leaning in that direction. Ya the price and the licensing are still sore spots, but the bottom line is i can build the mrs a screen for audio control however she wants it to look and i can't overcome that although ML offers the same thing in most interfaces, i can't do so with the swf / MusicLobby app...
Anyways, no decision yet... i'd still like to see Harleydude's stuff for the Elk before i rule out netremote/girder completely, and i need to actually build an interface for audio and make sure she likes it (but i fail to see why not). Also m-audio integration is a must, so i downloaded zoomplayer and will see if i can figure out how to do zone control via cqc/zp...
will keep you posted...
