          I would love to use the TCP media controller for Windows

 |  Media Center that can be obtained from
 http://vmccontroller.codeplex.com/
 but alas, it does not work on Vista x64 *sigh* .
 But I found something else that I think should work:
 http://www.kindel.com/products/mcecontroller/
 I was able to open a telnet session, type in some of the
 commands, and sure enough, it did what it was supposed
 to.  The next step is to make powerhome send the commands
 to mcecontroller.  I have tried
 ph_sendsocketdata("localhost",5150,"greenbutton") but it
 does not work.  I think perhaps it has to establish a
 telnet session first???
 1.  Has anyone used mcecontroller here?  How did you get
 it working?
 2.  Are there other options other than the two listed
 above?  I have searched high and low on google, but these
 are the only two games in town that I could find.
 3.  Am I missing something obvious in my method here?
 
 Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer! :)
