SCO0204 - Controlling Your Mac Media Centre [Members Show]
Sure, you can use an Apple Remote but that's really only useful for navigating full screen applications such as FrontRow or Plex. A full size keyboard and mouse? In the living room? Sure, you can use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, but they can be a bit cumbersome to use and they don't really fit into the domestic environment.
How about using your iPod Touch or iPhone to take full control of your Mac media centre?
This week's show is all about setting up your mac media centre to run independently of a keyboard and mouse by using a hand held device to take full control of your Mac over WifI. The full show covers:
- Disabling "Bluetooth Setup Assistant"
- Pairing Apple Remotes
- Setting up an ad-hoc "Computer to Computer" Wifi network
- Three iPod Touch/iPhone Remote Controller Applications
- Rowmote
- Rowmote Pro
- Snatch
- Using Snatch as a dedicated controller for Plex
