Fr Simon's Unofficial Remote

** Please note that this app is unofficial and has no connection with any commercial presentation software. I am sure it can drive a number of presentation tools, but it is focused on my favourite. **

Fr Simon's Remote Controller enables WiFi Control over your Presentation Software! My favourite is Prezi.

Connecting via the phone/tablet's hotspot or a local WiFi connection, this little app gives you control from your android device to a laptop running your Presentation Software (either web or desktop) and the little Java-based (1.8 and above) Server App which can be downloaded via: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29488949/EWServerInstall.exe

Installation instructions for the Server can be found at http://www.frsimon.uk/fr-simons-prezi-remote-controller/


FREE APP! No Adverts, or In-app Purchases: all I ask is for your prayers for me and my Ministry here in Plymouth, UK, call it PRAYERWARE if you like!

You can see a video of it in operation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufje266-QA4

If there isn’t wifi in the area you are presenting, it can be better to set your phone/tablet up as a hotspot and then connect your PC to that. You will need to find out what IP address the phone has given the laptop, but going back into Settings on the Server App might reveal that.

Problems with Connection
===================

...are more often than not down to an issue with:

* Being on the wrong network, ie 3G and Wifi. They need to be the same, and it often works best if the laptop is actually connected to the phone’s hotspot.
* Firewalls – you might need to open the TCP Port you are using (default: 59019) for incoming and outgoing traffic
