Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm obviously biased here; I'm one of the developers who makes an independent vlc remote control app.<br>
<br>
However I think there is something interesting here; VLC provides an http interface, and there are dozens of remote apps. Some free, some paid, some open source.<br>
<br>
My suggestion would be to concentrate on building the infrastructure which enables those remotes. There has been lots of discussion recently about the http interface vs the luahttp interface.<br>
<br>
Why not concentrate on making those more powerful (and fixing bugs). The capabilities you provide there will be used by many remote apps in new and intersting ways - and you'll get a multiplier effect on your work.<br>
<br>
If you build your own remote, then you'll end up with a single remote on a single platform (probably). If you build the foundation, then many remotes will grow.<br><font color="#888888">

Hello, my name is Sebastian Brestin.<br>
I few days ago I thought about making a plugin for VLC that allows remote access for VLC from mobile to PC. But today as I was surfing the VLC GSoC homepage I saw that someone else claimed it.<br>
My official idea was to make this remote controller communicate through Bluetooth. The idea proposed by akashm1990 involves WiFi.<br>
Do you think that I can use the idea with Bluetooth, or should I think of something else?<br>
