Hi Jon,

I think there is only ONE possibility?

Build a website on your server (with IIS (Windows) or Apache). Using this website you can browse a directory and view pictures, MPEGS, movies ... whatever. If you then "select" something with your iPronto, e.g. you browse a directory with your movie files, then you need to start a batchscript on your server to start this movie.

Complicated enough? Because the browser of the iPronto is limited and because you cannot send any commands from the iPronto to another network device you need to do anything in dialog with a webserver.

So you must spend some time in configuration of a webserver on your server/pc.

To make it a bit more clear:

I created a simple website on my server with just 8 big buttons on it.
When I browse it with my iPronto and press one button a batch script will be started on my server which starts a lot of things.

Your solution would be a website where you can browse your objects (movies, mpegs, pictures ...) and a "toolbar" on the right with a few buttons to start / stop them. If you select a movie file on the left and then press start on the right then a script must be started which triggers your Neuston Media server with commands.

Best regards,

Kalle
