Re: MCE, VLC, or iTunes

I am interested in doing something similar. For now I just need a Media
enter navigation remote from Iviewer.
Just installed eventghost looks like time to hit the forums and help
pages. . . Will keep an eye out for an easier option and post here if I
find one.
I wonder if Itunes has a network protocol we can use (as they have the
apple remote app) which does what we need for the music end.
Are you talking to zwave with iviewer?
