Media Browser for iOS (remote)

[Trivial 0]

Hi All,

 

This likely is a stupid question - but I will ask.

 

I just downloaded the Media Browser for iOS app for my iPhone.

 

When I go into the app, I can see my Movies with no issue that are being shared from my PC running Media Browser server.

 

Two questions :

 

1)  What is the circle used for beside each movie.    When I click it, it shows me an eye.   What is that eye used for ?

 

2)  The more important question is - how can I use this as a remote ?  When I select remote, I can see my other PC running Media Browser client.  I select it, but then I can't seem to do anything.  My assumption is that I can tell my PC running Media Browser client what to do from my iPhone (i.e. what movie to play), but it just sits there doing nothing.

 

Am I wrong ?

 

Thanks.

the eye is the watched status, not sure about the remote

So when does the eye change status ?  When you watch a movie on the iOS client - or when you watch it on the PC client ?   Thanks.

 

Does anyone have the remote working ?

Either, mb3 syncs watched status back to the server and out to all clients

Okay - thanks.   But can I control my PC client from my iPhone ?

Not sure about the remote, I think on the iPhone it just controls media that is already playing. It's being merged with the iPad app though so coming soon I guess

Okay, thanks a bunch.
