control of MPD from IMac?

[henri47]

I have a vortexbox appliance, BuffaloIII Dac, IPad , Imac, and PS3 running in a wired network. Remote control is handled by Ipad serving MPD and Squeezebox remote serving Vortexbox player. I would also like to use the IMac as a remote for MPD. Can this be done? Is software available to do so?
Many thanks,

Henri

Hi Jesus,

Thanks for the link. I tried it and it said: "Could not connect to server." . Is there something I must change? I send you the screendump so you can see if something has to be done.
Kind regards,
Henri

Put the IP address of your VortexBox in the Server box instead of "localhost".

Thanks Ron and Jesus for helping me out. It works. it's a rather primitive app but useful.
kind regards,
Henri

Does anybody know of software, more like MPad, with album artwork etc? would be nice and easier to select albums.
