An N95 accelerometer based remote controller for mplayer on Gnu/Linux machines.

The application uses a server running on a computer which the phone connects and sends commands to. Once the server is up and running (which is as simple as running a python script), everything is controlled from the phone. You can browse through your folders, choose a video and start watching it. You then control the video by hand movements such as tilting right/left for fast forward/backward etc. At any time you can change the video that you are watching by navigating through your video folders directly from your phone. The application also senses when you have incoming calls so that the movement of picking up the phone to answer it is not translated to hand-gesture commands. Furthermore the user can explicitly lock the accelerometer by pressing the “select” key for the same reason (i.e. to avoid random hand-gestures to be translated to mplayer commands). There are also a few things you can configure from the phone such as the responsiveness of the accelerometer and the mplayer seek/volume increments. Any comments, ideas, suggestions are welcome. I am also thinking of later changing the name to something that will reflect the mplayer relation. Any ideas there would also be appreciated!
