Simplest way to use with some form of web server
Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2005 9:49 amHi,
I'm about to buy one of these to use for the following app. I was hoping someone could advise me what software setup would be the simplest (and cheapest to use)
I want to send control commands to an Arcam AVR100 from a pc that is a headless server. I want to be able to do this using a web browser. In other words what's the simplest way to use a web server to send codes. I am an experienced Java programmer so that would be cool if someone has made headway there and I can help. I am open to other suggestions or recommendations of products to buy. Maybe someone has done a perl module or something. The server is win2k.
What I really want is to be sitting upstairs using my laptop and remotely turn the volume up on my hifi in the lounge. I own a Slimdevices Squeezebox which is web controlled so all I need is the amp to be similarly setup to be truly lazy.
cheers for any help.
