mryan23 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I have seen a lot of posts recently about smartphone show control. I have written an Android app that does just that! It can enable/disable the show, play a song or show that has already been made, or create and play a "playlist" (really it makes a new show with the songs you specify). I'm looking for a few people who would like to try this out. I haven't put it on the Android Market or anything yet but if you would like to try my app send me a PM with your email address and I will send it to you.

marquisite Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Sounds great for remote killing a display away from home.Does the app require local network connection (wifi) or would it enable remotely disabling of a show? E.g. maybe weather conditions change unexpectedly and the show needs to be turned off for safety reasons.Is there a status function for downloading to the phone the current status - such as schedule disabled; schedule enabled - no show active; schedule enabled - show active; show on demanded - show ?

E.g. maybe weather conditions change unexpectedly and the show needs to be turned off for safety reasons.Right now it requires wifi to run. Adding the ability to use 3g/4g is in my "todo list" that would allow for remote kills but right now that would not work.Is there a status function for downloading to the phone the current status - such as schedule disabled; schedule enabled - no show active; schedule enabled - show active; show on demanded - show ?I hadn't thought about a status feature but that is a very good idea. I'll add that to my list as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, being a college student, I dont have $99 per year to be allowed to write apps for apple. If there are any iPhone developers out there that would like to write a similar app for iPhone I'd be happy to tell them what I did. I dont think it would be a very difficult iOS app I just dont have the means to create it. If anyone is interested in doing that just let me know.
