Hey guys.

I'm looking for a foobar "remote control" plugin which enables controlling foobar from another PC on the network - with a proper user interface - not with HTTP commands, TELNET, etc.

I looked up in the Wiki/Forum buy couldn't find any good solution.

Any suggestions?

with a proper user interface

What do you mean by saying 'proper'? Windows GUI software?
Hengest
the only way I can think of would be to use either the built-in Windows remote desktop software, or software such as TightVNC to access the desktop via another computer, and thus control it with a "proper" gui (or, at least, as proper as I think you mean.
Montigo
By "proper user interface" I mean something that has buttons and you can control using the mouse;)

Basically, all I really need is a the title of the track playing now, and Play/Stop/Next/Prev buttons.

Hengest - I use VNC (UltaVNC) and it is great. However I feel it is a bit of an overkill in order to switch tracks. I'm almost certain someone developed an easier solution.

Or similarly code it your self. LUA, Python..etc...

Lua is pretty easy and I have used it to make a front end for it on the PSP.

"Lua" is not an acronym. To use the words of Lua's authors: Write "Lua" right!
