Is there any plugin for controlling Foobar with the mobiles bluetooth?

You can use the built-in global hotkeys or just leave foobar as active window and use normal shortcuts.
It is pretty cool.
I am using: Sony Ericcson K600i with a .hid (Human interface device) file.

Whats a .hid file? How does it work?
Do i need to have a program installed on my mobile?

There must be a program thats wotk without having Foobar active...

i'm using the normal "media player" remote which is built in my w810i, but foobar must be the active window, cause it simulates(?) the keys...
now u just have to config the "pressed" keys as hotkeys in foobar

the "bindings" from my w810i
VolUp F10
VolDown F9
1 Shift Ctrl B
2 ctrl P
3 Shift Ctrl F
4 Ctrl B
5 Ctrl S
6 Ctrl F
7 F8

e:\ oh, withoutfoobar as active window... didnt read that, looking for that, too.
with fb2k 0.8x i think there was a plugin, which even sends the current information to your cell

Define your hotkeys as global hotkeys, then foobar doesn't have to be active.

With this programm you can make a .hid file. Save it to your mobilephone then it should work.
program for making .hid for sony ericcson handys

Can this be done with other phones (Sanyo s750i)

Where should the HID file be put:ed?
It's won't start if I just put it on the phone

@tool++: I have no idea.


That's strange because on my K600i it asked if it should be installed....

I can only "send" the file from the phone, not use it.

Does your handy support Java?

I Think so, the games are java...
and I can control the "desktop" and "Mediaplayer" with my handy...

Matbe I can use the Mediaplayer that are avalible. Fix that Foobar use the same hotkeys as WMP. But what's WMP hotkeys?

Play = ctrl + p
Stop = ???
Next = ???
Prev = ???

Vol up/down = ???/???
Mute = ???






.... found it (i hope..)

Thank you for this, it worked perfectly . Unlike my Wiimote

Anyway of getting the Now Playing text onto the phone?

Hmm, using foo_run it should be possible to run a batch file that loads Now Playing info to text file then sends that text file to phone. I can then call this function using the phone. My phone doesn't break remote control when it sends/receives files.

Got this working nicely, this is the contents of the batch file which is run via a keyboard shortcut in foobar which is called via a keypress on the phone.

DEL "C:\nowplay.txt"
set i=C:\nowplay.txt
echo %1>>%i%
CALL "C:\Program Files\Belkin\Bluetooth Software\btsendto_explorer.exe" -BD_ADDR=00:16:20:c6:05:5a -BD_NAME=Plau -DEV_CLASS=00262738 %i%

Took me forever to work out the parameters for btsendto_explorer.exe to make it send to a specific bluetooth device without needing to select it on the computer.

More fun,

%1 is %path%

CALL "C:\Program Files\Belkin\Bluetooth Software\btsendto_explorer.exe" -BD_ADDR=00:16:20:c6:05:5a -BD_NAME=Plau -DEV_CLASS=00262738 %1

Using a keyboard shortcut I can, with one key press, send the now playing track to the phone.

Share please?
