Project Idea: Need Help Starting - plasticbeach - 12-10-2018
So I am trying to get to be able to play my music on my computer on my phone over the internet. The problem is, I don't know where to start. I know a good bit about Java and HTML, a little bit about SQL and Python. I've never started a program from scratch like this before, so I was wondering if anyone could give me some help on how to start.
I guess as far as steps go, I need to open up a port for my computer to connect to my phone on, I need my phone to be able to reach that port, and I need to re-route the output of the computer program from the computer speakers to the phone speakers via that port. Also I need to be able for the phone to send messages back to the computer for skip, play, pause, etc.
The music program I'm using already has a remote controller app for a cell phone to control the music on the computer speakers. I want to be able to basically do the reciprocal.
Can anyone give me advice on programming languages etc. My computer OS is Debian linux and my cell phone is an Android.
