nStream type MAC application
Posted by: Julian H on 21 April 2012
Hi
If I didn't want to use my iPad to control NDX via nStream, is there an app I can use on my iComputers?
I see something on the appstore called Qute Control for UQ but don't want to take a punt because it is not free [and feedback reviews are variable!]
Cheers, Julian
You need AirPlay

Somehow, I thought you might say that!

Hi
The above link goes to another thread on this app. I use it for my Qute.

Have you tried but dismissed using a web browser on your Mac to control the device? That's certainly an option.
Type in the IP of your ndx into a browser.
Then RTFM.
PG Thanks for the link. I had not seen that. The question is, does it work on NDX?
iGary - I have RTFM but the FM does not have anything about operating the FNDX via web browser [which is not what I asked for anyway]. Typing the IP address into a browser does give a display of various data regarding settings of the FNDX but not operational functionality.
Thanks,
Julian
Hi John
Do you know if it will work an NDX?
Can I queue music with it?
Cheers, J
It should work with an NDX, however I have only tested with my Qute. The author just reverse engineered the IP commands that N-Stream sends and so you get pretty much the same functionality as N-Stream, only in a desktop app. As such, no dynamic playlist creation, but you can cue up the next track just as in N-Stream.
I get my Qute back tomorrow after having the 24/192 update and so I will test that Qute Control still works after this and report back.
Indeed it is I who should RTFM as you have an NDX not HDX, sorry

John. I look forward to you reporting back once you have tried the new upgraded UQ.

Hi Julian - QuteControl works perfectly well with my upgraded Qute.
I will post a separate review of the upgrade, but I suspect that it will work just fine for your NDX.
While I recall, the only thing that QuteControl doesn't do that I would like to see added is that it doesn't pick up any re-naming of the inputs. For example, it calls Digital 2 "Digital 2", despite my re-naming it "Apple TV".
Fairly trivial, but worth mentioning.
I suspect that it will work just fine for your NDX.
Hi
Thanks for coming back to me John re the new board.
I can confirm for all NDX owners that the QuteControl app works a treat on it too!
Cheers, J
Good to hear it - how are you finding the app?
Hi
Its a bit slow, but does what it needs to.
Obviously the volume and mute do not work and like you say, does not pick up the renaimed inputs but hey, thats a minor irritation.
The other thing is, if I leave my iMac on then use my MacBook, I need to shut down the app. Something I don't have to do when controlling via iPad and move to iPhone, using n-Stream. Oh, my word! I am iMad!
Finally, having to double click everything is a bit of a PITA!
Cheers, J
Ahh - There are a few differences then.
Volume control works fine with a Qute and I have no memory needing to double click anything.
Leaving the app running is just the same as leaving n-Stream running - you cannot have two remote apps controlling tthe device simultaneously.
