Hi all!
im currently playing around with my SD install and all the stuff thats going
to be in there.
as cellphone im using SE W850i which has - as do others - bluetooth remotecontrol, ie using my phone as remote for kb/mouse and m$ mediaplayer
so i thought maybe remotecontrolling SD music also works.....and it does....partly, the control buttons are mixed;
vol up - nothing
vol down - yes
mute(7) - vol up
rewind(1) - yes
play/pause(2) - only pause
fast fwd(3) - yes
prev/next(4,6) - nothing
stop(5) - nothing

of course controling regular MP works perfect...

using SD 1.1.0.0 , broadcom 2045/widcomm 5.1.0.1700 BT, m$ MP 10

anyone experiencing similar behaviour?
or even tried it?
it sure would be a nice feature to use...

ok, so since nobody seemed to be looking into this, i decided to do it myself.
after discovering that trying to control WMP while a IE-window was focused did not work
instead bringing up the print dialogue, i realized it was quite simple:
my SE-phone is sending the following keyboard-strokes (corresponding to WMP10):

ctrl-p play pause
ctrl-s stop
ctrl-shift-f fast forward
ctrl-shift-b fast backward
ctrl-f next
ctrl-b previous
F8 mute
F10 vol+
F9 vol-

users with WMP11 will xperience volume difficulties
WMP11 responds to:
F7 mute
F9 vol+
F8 vol-

this is however not an issue (for most people) with Streetdeck since you are able to do your own keyboard-shortcut-map, ie making my sd respond to the strokes from the WMP10 list above makes it work like a charm, just make sure you select the correct function in sd since there are many similar functions such as play/pause and play/pause(rear) etc.

that was my dissection of bluetooth remote control

i also found an interesting piece of software called Bluetooth Remote Control 3.0 at
http://www.blueshareware.com/index.html

supporting a number of apps such as winamp itunes WMP and not only controlling your WMP but also extending the media info to the phone interface

and another feature is the mouse control where you actually see a portion the desktop where the pointer is on your phone, neat huh?
