Setup Guide

These instructions are for the WP7 version of Remote. Click here for WP8 instructions.

1. Download and install foo_touchremote

foo_touchremote is a free (donations accepted) plugin for Foobar2000.
Remote requires foo_touchremote 0.2.6 or later for full compatibility.
After downloading foo_touchremote, select LibraryConfigure from the menu bar and select Components from the left side of the Preferences window. Click the Install button and locate the foo_touchremote zip file.
Click OK to close the Preferences window and restart Foobar when prompted.
If Foobar is unable to load the foo_touchremote plugin, make sure you have the .NET Framework 4 and Visual C++ Runtime installed.

2. Download and run the Pairing Utility

 

I receive an error message about Bonjour or the Pairing Utility doesn't open

The Bonjour service is necessary for both foo_touchremote and the Pairing Utility to work correctly. Download it here from Apple and try running the Pairing Utility again.

3. Open the Foobar2000 Preferences window

Select LibraryConfigure from the menu bar.

4. Open the TouchRemote pane and click "Add a new device"

On the left side of the Preferences window, select Media LibraryTouchRemote DACP Server. Click the button that says Add a new device to continue.

5. Enter the passcode from the Pairing Utility

"Windows Phone Device" will appear in the Devices list after entering the correct passcode.

6. Confirm that pairing completed successfully

The Pairing Utility will display your library's name and a PIN to be entered on your phone.

7. Open Remote and tap "Add Library"

Once installed, Remote will appear in the list of applications on your phone.

If you haven't purchased or installed Remote, click here to open it in the Windows Phone Marketplace:

8. Enter the host and PIN and tap "Save"

Remote will save the library details and connect to Foobar2000.
