Bluetooth Support #15

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Are you using Boxee or XBMC? Boxee

Currently the remote only works via wifi and many users either do not run
and or do not want to run wifi. In addition many more feel that the setup
via wifi is complicated.

Solution: add bluetooth support so that the remote can work using bluetooth
instead of wifi. This will also be great for uses who use these devices
stand alone and do not even have them connected to a network at all! For
example now a user who has boxee or xbmc on a car computer can control it
from their phone! There are also many other users who have needs for
bluetooth support and as the number of users of these two programs increase
the need for bluetooth support grows as well.

That would require changes to boxee to support it.

I think Andrew's right about this. I can't find any info regarding Bluetooth 
control on 
http://developer.boxee.tv

Also, their info on the Remote Control interface only covers our current 
non-bluetooth 
methods. http://developer.boxee.tv/Remote_Control_Interface

As a workaround, does anyone know if there is a way to send HTTP requests over 
Bluetooth using Android, given what tools have to work with?
