Controller with pure graphical UI?

Posted by: Alamanka on 21 July 2013

So far the UPnP applications I have seen are not purely graphical.

They usually require navigation in trees or folders that are only identifiable by reading alphanumerical labels.

I am looking for a touch based controller application with perfectly graphical UI. That UI would be based on icons and images, and even a user who is not able to read labels would be able to select and control music.

To illustrate the requirement: the native Video application on the Ipad is a good example.
The user can select the application, then choose a video by touching the picture, he can then control volume, fast forward etc, by touching icons that are easily identifiable.

Thanks.

Um, how do you propose to select an artist or album unless you know already what that artist or album is/looks like?

Your request does not make a lot of sense. the Video app shows you a pretty picture for sure, but unless you know what it is, assuming you cannot read, you have to randomly hit those pictures to find something you want.

All apps I have ever seen that support volume controls etc do it with graphics so thats a moot point, your issue is how do you select music you want if its purely by pictures. Ponder that for a while.

Selecting music/album from picture alone is really only practically feasible for small collections
