WifiRemote is a process plugin for the popular opensource mediacenter software "MediaPortal".

It publishes a Bonjour Service on your local network which allows clients (for example an iPhone or Android app) to list all found MediaPortal installations and connect to it.

Those clients can then send commands like up, down, ok, play, pause and so on to the plugin which relays them to MediaPortal - effectively enabling any kind of device on the network to be used as a remote control (requires a client app for the device).

The app also accepts special commands to shutdown/hibernate/suspend/reboot/logoff the htpc and to exit MediaPortal, or to switch the active MediaPortal window to one requested by the client app. This makes it possible to have shortcuts to for example your TV series or your movies in Moving Pictures.
