    Hello :)
    I am trying to build an android app, which will work as remote control for playing audio on UDOO (UDOO OS is Linux).

    So after searching I have concluded that there are two choices either:
    1. Streaming audio from the app to the board and play it.
    2. Using the app to run one of the media player on UDOO.

    It's my first time to build or develop something like that, any advice :)? which one do you think would be better?

    thank

    The best solution is to create on UDOObuntu a RESTfull server with simple API for control your favorite media player.
    For build a simple and fast restfull server on UDOO, is possible to use any programming language, in this case my favorite programming language is LUA with luajit and Turbo.lua library. Is possible make the same with python and tornado library...

    For the data exchange the best and simple solution is JSON...

    I have make a similar project but I not controled the music but a "servo board" for motors control: http://udoo.hackster.io/dronix-alter-ego/dronixcar

    The project description is incomplite, but soon will be completed...

    Just curious, can you make an iPhone app instead of an android app?
