MusicBee Remote for Android

MusicBee Remote - for Android

About

MusicBee is a remote control application that is used to control MusicBee player using a network connected Android device. The application is freely available through Google Play and also requires the associated plugin (dll) for MusicBee to function.

The application consumes an RESTlike HTTP API provided by the plugin. There is also a socket connection used to pass messages to the client for changes. The plan is for the socket to be replaced with a web socket implementation in the future.

MusicBee Remote was presented as part of my thesis on "Android and application development for mobile devices".

You can find help on how to use the application and more info on the dedicated website along with links to the binary version of the plugin.

You can also find information about the plugin and the remote to the dedicated topic in the MusicBee forums.

Building

The original logo idea belongs to Jordan Georgiades. Any other icons introduced in version 0.9.7 and later was probably my work. Some design ideas are based on mockups by Carlos Parga

Inspiration

A great source of inspiration for this project was the Cyanogen Apollo player along with Google Play Music for Android.
