Android app as remote for multiple PCs

Postby funtycunk » Sun Dec 09, 2012 12:52 pm

Hello, apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, I can't find any topics that answer it:

I have Subsonic server up and running on my main PC, which I access via my Android phone and it works brilliantly. I've tried the remote control from the Android to play tracks on the main PC and that works well.
I have a couple of old dilapidated PCs in other rooms of my house which are also connected to the server currently via mini-sub. Is there any way I can use my Android phone to control the other PCs?

Thanks

I was recently wondering the same thing, sort of like a poor man's sonos. I dont think you can control the music that way. I have thought of using old smartphones connected to their own speakers scattered around, but the music controls are still handled by that specific device. Unless you could remote into the smartphone and run things remotely... Uh remotely. Yea.

Exactly....the daft thing is that I do have a sonos! the problem is that adding 'rooms' is extremely expensive. I'm a newcomer to Subsonic and it seems so close to being able to do this sort of thing - I feel that I'm missing something significant.

If you are than I am too.

Anyone else have any suggestions?
