WebGuide 4 provides remote MCE access

Webguide4Doug Berret just updated his WebGuide application to version 4 and this looks slick! WebGuide4 provides remote access to an XP Media Center PC or a Vista-based computer. Doug took the Media Center interface and adds powerful Electronic Program Guide features, plus mobile access via any web browser or web-enabled mobile device. Additional features include:

  • Schedule recordings from any web browser
  • Quick installation and familiar easy-to-use interface
  • Access your own MCE PC which means live scheduling without delays
  • Provides LAN-based access to recorded TV shows via networked PCs with playback in Windows Media Player
  • Homepage provides quick access to recent and upcoming recordings
  • Search results grouped by show  or date/time
  • Set manual recordings and adjust the settings of scheduled recordings
  • Access your Music, Pictures and Videos for viewing and streaming over the Internet 
  • PocketPC and Smartphone enabled EPG
  • Localized languages include: Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish
  • You have to view the video demo to truly appreciate what Doug did here; not only that, but I saw a screenshot viewing a recording of "Law and Order" on a Windows Mobile device. Looks like you can even stream locally to a WM handheld a la Orb! Hey, Doug; any chance of making that stream work over a WWAN? Anyhoo, the base product is free; $15 nabs the full version.
