It may have taken a few hours of toying, but I've successfully managed to control my empeg via a web browser. One more step and I'll be able to do it from the old wap phone. For those of you who are interested, I'll put the source somewhere, but for the meanwhile, it goes something like this : emptool slightly hacked to include a "play" command. All this does is use the lookup functionallity and send a different command via the empconsole and playerdb classes. Obviously, we can't have emptool starting up all the time, so we rely on ... A small perl server which starts up emptool and then listens for appropriate commands. With emptool permanently running, it means these commands can come from ... A cgi script that does simple things like ls, cd or play. All I need to do now is add a WML enabled page and bingo, I'm home free. Empeg control from the luxury of your mobile phone (handy if you can't reach the remote control, I guess....) Rich.
