Soundproof's Guide for using iPhone or iPod Touch as a remote!

Now we just need a DVDpedia remote control app so that I don't have to use my bluetooth mouse and (sometimes) keyboard.
There is a PocketPedia app(for movies, cds, etc.) ... but I don't believe it can trigger play. Actually haven't gotten to trying it out yet, though I've downloaded it.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, and sorry if the answer is in here already someplace.

We have Beoport on a PC linked by Masterlink to a BV7 MKIII and Beosound 3000. I am considering purchasing an iphone and would like to be able to use it as a remote.

I understand it is not possible to directly control Beoport and that I will need to use iTunes instead.

How do I get the sound from the PC to the main speakers with the BV7? I have tried PC on the Beo 4 as well as link-PC and AV-PC.

I am able to activate the speakers in a link room with the PC function. Why wont they activate in the main room?

 

Not a dumb question to me - I've never been able to get it to work on my BV3-BS3200-Beoport system. Have had to resort to setting Beoport to "mix" the PC sounds with the NMusic/NRadio sound. Then select Nmusic (or NRadio) from the Beo4/Beo5, then hit stop - this turns off the NMusic but leaves the itunes playing.

Works like a dream - or it did until my Remote application on my iphone suddenly stopped working a few weeks back...

Thanks!  

Hi Soundproof,

I know I'm a little slow on this, but I just wanted to say a big thank you for taking the time and energy to put together this guide for Peter and those like myself who may not otherwise have pursued putting together such a wireless network, thinking it too complex.

Over the holidays, I finally had the time to finish setting up my network with additional airports, rip most of my CDs in lossless and got my I-phone working the airtunes network. Actually, I also started out downloading the remote buddy, but have now also switched to Apple Remote and I must say the navigation is much faster, smoother and responsive. The result, brilliant! 

So thanks again, I'm sure I speak for many when I say its much appreciated.

Laurence. 

 

 

 

 

hi soundproof et al,

thanks also for such a concise and helpful post.

sorry if i'm a little late to be posting on this, but was hoping someone may be able to help.

basically, i'd like to get something like this/peter's setup in place, the problem however is that i have a 2300 which doesn't support n.music or have a spare aux port as it's being used for a master link converter. i do though have a mac (not yet connected with beoport due to n.music issue), a masterlink system and an ipod touch!. i was considering using apple tv but have been told there are issues when connectining it to an avant (the current master in the house) and i'll also need some kind of converter?. so, other than changing the 2300, which is something i don't really want to do is there any way i can get a setup that will allow me to keep my current masterlink setup for audio and video, but also allow me to use an ipod touch as a remote for my itunes library and play it through the masterlink system ?

thanks in advance

steve
