UMS UPnP Remote User Interface - Help!
UMS UPnP Remote User Interface - Help!
I would like to revisit the idea floated by DeFlanko in the thread [CLOSED] Client Application (viewtopic.php?t=109).
It was the line:
Currently we are using Collectorz to catalog and it has a few very good features:
It has four main components:
After a few hours searching for User Interfaces/Control Points, I found a lot but nothing with just the basic UI/control functions. I am looking for help in finding or implementing this. Since all (most) of todays components are DLNA compliant, it may become be a Universal DLNA Remote Control later. Open source and free of course.
An off-the-shelf solution would be best but most were too complex and pricey.
Second would be a multi-function app which could be limited to just a Remote Control.
Last is to develop one from scratch.
Anyone know a good iOS/Android developer who might be interested?
A few more system details:

- simple, clear GUI; UPC driven input
computer: a line for each Title in one pane, details in a second pane

the Manager app to create/download the index & feed UMS on the fly (I'll handle this)
the Remote User Interface/Control Point - the missing piece

A few more system details:
- Network: LAN only, no internet
UMS: sees only a few titles (much faster!)
Manager app: create/download index; feed playlist to UMS; misc housekeeping chores
UI/Control Point: media index is downloaded; handles vol+-, pause, play, stop, skip, ...

Bump
A few hours of research answered a few details and presented a few more. The main post was rewritten to update.
