Description
Android Remote Media Center is a client for remotely controlling and viewing your windows 7 media center and other windows (xp, vista: limited functionality!) media via remote potato server (running on windows).Works well over wifi, and much better than dlna over 3G, 4G and reportedly edge. Can easily slide forward/backward all kinds of videos.
Specifically it is able to
- Browse and search the EPG Grid (*)
- Browse and Schedule recordings (*)
- Browse channels and programs (*)
- Watch videos in various qualities (low up to HD (720P and 1080))
- Watch recorded tv up to HD (720P and 1080) quality
- Listen to music (with slider and shuffle)
- Browse hires pictures with multitouch
- Remote control (*)
- Live TV can be unlocked by an in-app purchase (*)
(*) supported only on windows 7 and 8 media center
Needs version 0.98.6 or higher of the Remote Potato Server.
3G, 4G or wifi is advised.
A player like diceplayer, vplayer, rockplayer lite, mx player or moboplayer (try with hard/soft decoding) is needed for video.
Supports honeycomb and ICS as well.
- Strongly adviced to NOT using any app while driving or during other dangerous activities.
- RMC streams media which can consume lots of bandwidth especially WHEN using high bitrates - be sure you have a good data plan before you start using 3G and 4G connections to stream your video.
The full version (http://goo.gl/YeklZ) has added features, like live TV and download capability of videos and recorded TV.

Doesn't work with ice cream sandwich This is a great app, but doesn't even start since my android upgrade (official) to ice cream sandwich. Tapping to open just does nothing.

awesome Simple to setup, great to use if your TV tuner software doesn't automatically come with this support already.

Works Great on Nook Tablet The NT is the perfect size for this, the remote shows up great and while the interface isn't pretty, it's perfectly workable

Great, except remote I've used this for a few months, and it's super. One glaring problem is that the remote control for directly controlling WMC never has worked. :( I have to switch to Unified Remote which works perfectly.

Excellent remote software Requires you to setup server but it is very simple to do.

Servicable yet ugly, jerky video... Works well. UI, to be honest, is ugly but functional. Mimicking Media Buddy for WP7 would not be a bad. Reliance on external player is weak and I've yet to find one that is as smooth as Media Buddy on WP7.
