ConnectedVNC

ConnectedVNC allows you to control your PC from your TV (Screenshot)

ConnectedVNC is a free VNC client that allows you to control your Windows PC from your television using your DivX Connected set-top box.

What's it for?

Because ConnectedVNC allows you use your PC from your TV, you can do things like check your email and browse the web without having to leave the comfort of your arm chair.

*** UPDATE! ***

By installing a SHOUTcast or Icecast server alongside DivX Connected, you can now listen to your PC too, enabling you to enjoy applications like Spotify and iTunes remotely (optional).

See the ConCast plug-in page for more information.

Requirements

To use the ConnectedVNC plug-in, you need to install a VNC server on the same PC as the DivX Connected server software; we recommend UltraVNC from http://www.ultravnc.com/.

Once installed, open Admin Properties by right-clicking on the system tray icon, create a password (middle-left), tick the box next to "Allow Loopback Connections" (top-left) and click OK.

That's it! You're ready to use ConnectedVNC.

Getting Started

To use ConnectedVNC, simply navigate to the Plug-ins menu, or press the orange button on your remote control, and select ConnectedVNC.

On the first screen, highlight the password box and press ENTER on your remote control to bring up the on-screen keyboard and enter your password, then navigate to DONE and press enter. Now, simply press down on your remote control to highlight the Login button and pres ENTER.

If you have entered the correct password, the desktop of your PC should appear.

Remote Control

ARROWS = Move the mouse up/down/left/right
ENTER = Left mouse click
MENU = Right mouse click
PAGE UP/DOWN = Scroll up/down
DELETE = Backspace key
NUMBERS = Number keys

For additional keyboard input, we recommend using the Windows on-screen keyboard:

Netflix (Beta) for Connected PC

netflix-beta-preview.png
  • Plug-in Status: BETA
  • Connected Server: 1.5 ONLY!!! - (download 1.5 server)
  • Connected Client: Connected PC
  • Other Requirements: Silverlight and Netflix Account

Here it is... a BETA of a plug-in that allows you to access your queue and watch "watch instantly" videos via Connected Server 1.5's "Connected PC" client - NOT on the DSM-330 (yet)... this ONLY works on the Connected PC.

Logging in is still a little clunky... you just have to proceed to login, press ENTER and hit back and ENTER again until you actually succeed at logging in, but once you're logged in, you don't have to sign-in anymore... just browse and play videos.

You must already have silverlight and Netflix streaming working on the PC that your DivX Connected server is running on, or this will not work - this is the same PC you'll be using to watching this plug-in. Right now, it does a good job of turning a laptop into a mobile HTPC :-)

There's some more work ahead, like mouse support and letting the video go full screen, and then getting this to work with the DSM-330/Gejbox clients as well, but I thought I'd post it so people had something to play around with.

Feel free to log issues or participate in the project at Google Code:
