Is a remote application possible?

Post by Vyle80r »

Fantastic application you have created. Has anyone played around with the idea of creating a remote application for Android or iOS? I control almost everything in my house from my phone. Currently, I just use remote desktop to access my media server. I was just curious if something like a Filebot Remote App would even be possible.

You can use RDP or VNC to connect to your Desktop remotely, but without mouse and keyboard those solutions are no fun.


:idea: Docker container for running a Linux Desktop environment; probably doesn't work without mouse and keyboard:

:idea: Docker container for the FileBot Node WebUI; probably not fun to use without at least a keyboard:

:arrow: I'd probably set up unattended automation with the amc script on the server and then let filebot do it's thing on a schedule without any control or user interaction.





:idea: A mobile and / or web application for remote control is certainly possible, I just don't know if it's remotely sensible, because I don't see a large enough market for this specific corner case, given that most users either use the Desktop app or just automate everything on the server without user interaction. Please do create a Feature Request though if you have specific ideas for what you would want to see in a mobile application that replaces (?) enhances (?) does something different entirely (?) the tools we already have:

:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
