Remote Controlled / Network Media Player

Remote Controlled / Network Media Player I am looking for a Media Player that can be remote controlled with a Desktop Software (or even Web based) over the network. I know that there are tons of streaming servers and clients but that's exactly what I don't want to do.

"For music, you can use MPD (Music Player Daemon), which was specifically designed with remote control in mind. It runs as a server process and is controlled by clients like Sonata.

For video, I think you could use VLC, which can be remote-controlled from browser.

(sorry, as a new user, I can only post one link)"

It looks like Remuco might be a good bet SourceforgeWikiPage . It's a remote control system for Linux mediaplayers and mobile devices equipped with bluetooth or wifi. Looks like it would work with Banshee, Amarok and a bunch of other choices. (I'd assume you could run the client from your laptop or if you have a useable phone use that.
