A2DP Volume vs Wifi Remote Play
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
A2DP Volume
Automatically adjusts the media volume on connect and resets it on disconnect. This is done so that stereo streaming audio can work properly. Intended primarily for car Bluetooth systems. It can read out text messages using Text To Speech (TTS) services while you are connected. Each paired Bluetooth device or virtual device (home dock, car dock, power connection, or headset plug) can be configured to your liking. There is a manual on the website. A secondary feature is the ability to capture location information so you can find where you left your car. The location can also be automatically captured when exiting Car Mode on your Android device and read by any app that understands GPS data.
Wifi Remote Play
Wifi Remote Play is a remote control app for the video players Media Player Classic (MPC) and VideoLan Client (VLC), allowing you to control it over a Wi-Fi network. Features: * Remote control for: Play, pause, skip forwards/backwards through a track, jump to any point in the track, and jump to previous/next track. * Status shows current track, position, and length. * Volume control, and mute. * File browser to select new tracks, playlists video files (Media Player Classic only). * Toggle between windowed and full screen mode. * Controls for DVD interface (Media Player Classic only). * Symbian version downloaded 2.5 million times since 25 January 2012 - now available for Android! For this to work, you need to enable the web interface (for either VLC or Media Player Classic). VLC also now requires a password to be set. For your "IP Address", run "Command Prompt" on the PC where VLC or Media Player Classic is playing, and type ipconfig. It should be listed under "IPv4 Address". If you are having trouble setting up, please check out the webpage/Online Help for advice.
