Author Topic: CP750 remote control Steve Moore Expert Film Handler Posts: 211 From: Leeds, West Yorks, UK Registered: Apr 2008 posted 10-04-2019 04:14 AM                     I have shared it with Wim now, so if it does work for him, I can share the file if people want it and if Brad is willing, yes he could go for it. Of course with it being and extracted APK an android phone will prompt that it may not be trustworthy; so I don't want to be responsible if it breaks people phones! Anyway, we can see if it works initially for Wim first.  |  IP: Logged Marlon Martins Film Handler Posts: 78 From: Torres, RS, Brazil Registered: Apr 2015 posted 10-05-2019 03:09 PM                     if anyone can share the app, i would be thankful. i bought a while ago, but after a phone format, it was removed from playstore. As it was originally a paid app, there was no mirror in any site like apkmirror i found a while ago a french app that said to control cp750, but i only got errors and crashes. it was really nice control the volume on the phone from the seat  |  IP: Logged Steve Moore Expert Film Handler Posts: 211 From: Leeds, West Yorks, UK Registered: Apr 2008 posted 10-05-2019 03:43 PM                     Well here it goes... https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SfBb1Oco_2zd84nsyNm1GqgbJT3Ibkoj I don't know if this breaks rules, either here or copyright. The original author didn't charge for this app, but of course it still remains his property, I guess as he developed it. If it "cocks up" your phone, then I take no responsibility for that. I never heard back from Wim as to if the link worked for him Note, this was extracted from my old HTC phone to create the APK, so I could move it to my new one (after the app disappeared from google play) So I don't know how well it works across other brands of phone, but myself and someone else has used this extracted file successfully. You would have to download it to your phone and then install it; you may well have to unblock a setting on your phone (I did) and all phones differ slightly to install an app downloaded from the internet, rather than google play.  |  IP: Logged Wim Nagtegaal Film Handler Posts: 7 From: Alphen aan den Rijn Registered: Sep 2019 posted 10-05-2019 05:45 PM                     I was able to install it on an old Samsung phone with Android 4. First checked it with a CP750 emulator and that worked and tonight I checked it with a real CP750 and a quick test showed that it worked. So I'm happy with it! BTW still no response from the author.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 10-09-2019 03:02 AM                     quote: Steve Moore I don't know if this breaks rules, either here or copyright.

Might sound a bit harsh, but publishing his app without his consent is already copyright infringement, even if he offered it for free. The whole idea is that the owner of the copyright (usually the author), is in full control of whatever may happen with his/her original work. That's also why I think copyright needs a big international reform. I do get why copyright is important for creators of new, original work, but the way it currently works, causes a lot of stuff to be locked up in some kind of limbo, where the owners of that copyright don't give a flying **** about their assets, but other's still can't have it, essentially locking it away.  |  IP: Logged Jesse Crooks Film Handler Posts: 22 From: Doylestown, PA, United States Registered: Mar 2016 posted 10-14-2019 01:53 PM                    While it’s not the most elegant solution, in a few situations I’ve used TeamViewer on my phone to control our office computer that has a VNC connection to the server, and used the server to adjust the volume. Not ideal for regular use, but it will do the job without a dedicated booth WiFi network or an Android device. For my one theater that has a booth WiFi network I set up a 2-in-1 laptop/tablet so the projectionists have a dedicated device to control the servers and projectors, but you have to control the CP750s through the servers. Fine for adjusting the volume, but you’d have to play cues to do anything else.  |  IP: Logged
