I use my EMPEG at home on my home stereo. However, I spend most of my time upstairs, but the stereo is downstairs, and hence I just turn it up so it can be heard throughout the house.

Currently, I have my EMPEG hooked up to my home network, and with HiJack I can use the HTTP(pronounced Web) interface to play/stop songs.

What I can't do (at least Im trying to figure out how) is how can I adjust the volume being fed into the receiver? I can set my receivers "maximum" loud volume, then I could control the volume on the EMPEG as I saw fit.

So, my question is: Does anyone know how to change the volume remotely... and if so, how?

My second question is: Is there an easy way to "stop" a song being played, or "skip" to the next song in a playlist remotely?

As it stands right now, to stop a song, I just put on a playlist with no tracks.

Has anyone thought about enhancing the web interface of HiJack to provide dynamic web updates? Like say, every 10 seconds you could have the browser refresh which could display the songs tag/title information, current playing time, etc etc.

you can try LoJack by Geoff Nicol, http://pernocto.com/index.php?frame=Lojack&main=/empeg/lojack/

it should do what you are looking for.

Link is invalid, got another one?

I even tried searching the net... can't seem to find it.

Got it working...

BTW, this is EXACTLY what I wanted... thanks for the link....

Hope it helped! (and sorry for the wrong link )

You can also use chartcoalgray's xml template or Bitt's VNC interface.

Of course you could also set up your own page, by modifying existing XML or even something simple in HTML that just sends button codes via URL. You can send button codes on the address line - you can also send serial commands which is cool for quitting and restarting the player application (and other applications installed on the empeg).

The link you posted was correct.

The site was just moved to a new server (which contained an outdated page).

I have re-uploaded the current page, should be ok now.
