DJ (et al),
I've been playing with the cracked vers. of Front Row, as it =20
happens...and I don't think VNC'll do this (and certainly not well) =20
since Front Row doesn't accept mouse-based input, keyboard interface =20
sucks big-time (not to mention that the pop-up keyboard would obscure =20=
a goodly part of the VNC-ed desktop), and unless I'm mistaken, I =20
don't think NewtVNC does scaling...tho I could just be having a brain-=20=
fart about that.
Meanwhile, yes, BT remote controllers have been seen to be used, and =20
there's already at least one remote control script (the one I saw was =20=
publishable to Sony-Ericsson BT phones) on VersionTracker.
If someone were serious here, maybe a dedicated app that uses Blunt =20
to deliver the correct input to Front Row, but with a nice =20
interface...? Just a thought. :-)
