great little tool, same with you on the remote part, but mines usually dead batteries :p

 

the last few updates remove the option to sort youtube videos by duration

 

Showtime has been the best thing to happen to my personal use PS3. Well, that and reactPSN
The remote function from my tablet will make a great addiction.
:o:

 

Do we post ideas here?

If so, the buttons should be a bit bigger and maybe have like audio and subtitle option buttons.

You can try with this webGUI:
ps3.aldostools.org/st/?ip=<ps3-ip-address>

The difference is that it is written completely in html, so it should work on any device with a browser (PC, tablet, iphone, android, etc).

 

beautiful but too big for 4-inch screens, tried google chrome on Android

I made some adjustments in the html code... now it looks better on my Android 4.7" screen (no more zoom out).

If it still don't fit your screen, you can download the html source and make small adjustments.

[MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] Are you going to incorporate this into the next webmanMOD release?

 

[MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] Are you going to incorporate this into the next webmanMOD release?

You can integrate it yourself using the customizable Home button.

I already integrated this GUI to the portal ps3.aldostools.org

Some additional changes to the GUI:
- Now clicking on the corners you can navigate the lists faster (Top/Bottom/PageUp/PageDown)
- Moved the location of the Search box (so Mute / Power Off / Exit to XMB will be down and typically hidden until you scroll down)
- The Search button is now graphical and reloads the page to restore the default zoom
- The Home button is now graphical (cosmetic change). It also stops the play mode.
- Added Screen Saver button (useful when playing audio media like mp3, mod files, etc.).
- The Star button can be used to switch the list view modes.
- The top/left and bottom/left corners of the controller now calls NextTrack / PreviousTrack in play mode.
- Added toggle between dark/light themes (clicking on the white space area under search)
