Control MediaMonkey server from another Windows PC?

Post by info_dan »

Hello all,

I can control my MediaMonkey server at home from my phone using MMA Remote, but I was wondering how I could do the same from a Windows PC?

My setup is that I have a server PC running MMW 5 connected to a Sonos "Port" device, and multiple Sonos device in the home. So once I tell Sonos devices to listen to the Sonos Port, I can then control the music played by Sonos devices from my phone using MMA Remote. But I was hoping there would be a way to have Windows app to do the same without having to reach for my phone, which is not always near.

I can always do a VNC remote to the server, but a "Windows version" of MMRemote would be much simpler. Any suggestions? I could not find a way to use a local MMW to control a remote MMW. Please note that I don't want to stream audio to my local PC, I just want to remotely control what the MMW on the server plays to the Sonos Port.

I could always install Bluestacks and run MMA Remote, but I was hoping for a more Windows native solution.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Dan.
