MRSim app for iPhone and iPad

MRSim is a m:remote simulator that lets you control your m:streamer in the local network via iOS devices. It simulates m:remote behavior but requires a readily set up and running m:streamer (as connection is made via network and not via proprietary RF as with m:remote).

After startup MRSim tries to detect running m:streamer in your local network. You can connect to any found m:streamer and receive the user interface the same way as with your native m:remote control.

After connecting to a m:streamer its user interface is shown. Then you can use the simulator like your m:remote as all buttons of m:remote can be found after clicking "Show keys" and selecting the appropriate button category in the bottom. Additionally some important buttons like "home" "info", "enter", volume settings, etc. are always found on the right side when buttons are enabled.

But the simulator gives you some additional possibilities what means that you can hide keys on most occasions and control your m:streamer a little bit more iOS-like (but as it is a simulator surely not everything is working as smoothly as with a native iOS-application):
+ Tapping on a line
- in a list selects the entry and confirms it. The user e.g. can enter a directory by tapping on its name.
- in a settings window toggles the setting (if possible) or confirms it

+ Swiping right has same function as back key. This means go back one directory level or go back to higher level settings screen etc.

+ Swiping up/down has different function depending on current screen type:
- in a list view the user can scroll page wise up and down
- in playview the next/previous track is played (if available)
- in text input fields the current character toggles

+ Swiping left deletes the last character of text input

+ In UPnP play view tapping on
- Artist/Album/Playstate/Playtime will toggle between play/pause
- Shuffle/repeat icon or album art will bring up menu for choosing current shuffle/repeat mode

Please note that MRSim is no replacement for m:remote but a convenience add-on. Network setup has to be done via m:remote before any communication with MRSim is possible.
