This is the "server" software which sends information about your computer over UDP to a specified IP-address (your N900). To be used with the Nokia N900 display script. It's coded on .NET 4.0 C# and requires Core Audio API.

Data to send:

• CPU-usage per core
• Total CPU-usage
• Total RAM
• Used RAM
• Network usage on specified adapter
• Local and public IP-addresses
• Volume percent and mute status on default playback device
• Space left on local disks
• Now Playing -information

VitalInfo relies on external website to ask public IP from. It needs to be as plain as possible, just containing the IP. The hostname of a website should be inserted under "MyIP Host" without the http://-prefix.

Now Playing -information is being read from a text-file and is assumed to be in the following format:

artist -+- title -+- "1" if paused -+- position -+- length

I use foobar2000 with Now Playing Simple-plugin to generate this. Formatting string for Now Playing Simple:

$if(%isplaying%,%artist% -+- %title% -+- %ispaused% -+- %playback_time% -+- %length%)
