I recently stumbled across this free app, available on the App Store, which is designed to work as a remote control for Windows Media Center on Windows Vista and Windows 7.

The app works over wi-fi, so you’ll need a wi-fi connection for it to work. You’ll also need to download the Mediamote server from here and install the software.

Once it is installed, simply run the Mediamote app from your iPod Touch or iPhone, select the PC that it is installed on and then you are good to go.

Now it is up and running, you’ll see that the app has some quite concise options that allow you to control most aspects of Media Center.

Interestingly it even controls your windows media player 11 as well…

By default it lets you to control the windows media center but when you shake the phone it pops up with a choice of choosing between widows media player and windows media center. Choose your choice and go head rocking…

Lets go ahead and configure it :

1. Search and Install the App “Mediamote” in your iphone

2. Download the Mediamote PC installation package.

3.Ensure that either iTunes or Bonjour for Windows is installed.

4.Ensure that all firewalls are configured to allow the Mediamote server to communicate on port 34020.

5.Start the Mediamote application and select your PC from the list of automatically discovered servers.

6.When you first attempt to access your computer using Mediamote a message will be displayed asking if you would like to allow access for your device. Choose yes to allow access.

And thats it … you are all set… Njoy Controlling ur Media Player from IPHONE for Free

Watching HULU outside USA

As you know, Hulu is a great online video  service that allows you to watch tons of movies and USA TV shows. The issue with such a service is that if you are/live outside the United States you won’t be able to enjoy this service at all. In fact, Hulu is for USA residents living within USA or USA territories only. Now, there are a lot of interesting hacks and workarounds on the Internet to access Hulu. There is even a great piece of software called Hotspot Shield that is used by a lot of people. However, workarounds are too tricky and difficult to use while Hotspot Shield contains too many advertisements (ads) and has got a limited bandwidth to use to surf via its proxy.  A couple of days ago I have found an interesting, easy add-on for Firefox called “Modify Headers” which will let you watch all those websites whose use is restricted to users living outside the USA. Let’s see how it works!

Modify Headers is a nice Firefox add-on which “Add, modify and filter the HTTP request headers sent to web servers.” Let’s see how to use it to our advantage and watch Hulu for free!

  1. Download and install “Modify Headers” add-on.
  2. In Firefox, click Tools  and open Modify Headers settings.
  3. Click the Headers tab.
  4. In the Headers name, type: X-Forwarded-For and in the Header value, put any IP address that’s in the USA. If you want a list of USA IPs  to use, visit this website(free of charge).
  5. Do not write anything in the Comment section.
  6. Click the Enable button.
  7. Now, you will have to block TCP and UDP port 1935.  The procedure is simple but a little long. Visit this webpage and read the step-by-step procedure.
