I have used it for about two months now and have really enjoyed it. your first problem (the remote section) will be fixed in the next update it's getting out of alpha this friday it's taking long because this is a BIG one. about the comments and youtube related stuff I will add this to our todo section but I just can't tell you when it will be done.

Love it, love it, love it. Paid for the Pro iPad app the day after I loaded it.Nice to hear that you like it 1) well you can't those are your recently added item's but I can see your point in this I will try to push this feature to our next release 2) for now you can't the xbmc json interface is still in dev and add-on listening isn't the main concern. You can run add ons from constellation in the remote section click the puzzle icon. 3) recently added to your library 4) *Resync local data --> removes all your settings and data for the current host. (iPad/iPhone storage) *Remove database --> removes all the data for all hosts (xbmc) (iPad/iPhone storage) *Flush images cache --> removes all cached images i.e. if you change a image in xbmc you will have to use this to see the new one on the iDevice (iPad/iPhone storage) 5)watching the button light up, though --> LOOL ;-) This will trigger the library update process it affects XBMC. Once you add a new movie to your sources folder you can use this to tell xbmc to refresh your data. "Thanks for a really slick app! You'll be getting another $0.99 (minus what Apple takes) when I upgrade my wife's iPhone..." Thank you :-) (2012-07-16, 20:14)meridius Wrote: Is there anyway of using sort title instead of the movie name as my movies are not in orderThis needs to be added ASAP I will take care of it in the next update. Regards RE: XBMC Constellation For iPad/iPhone by FSS.cc (unofficial remote) - meridius - 2012-07-17 Thanks Just as many movies don't have 1,2,3 and are named differently but to keep them in order u need to use the 2nd option if sort by title whic I name the movie and then put 1,2,3 after there names to keep them right. Cheers RE: XBMC Constellation For iPad/iPhone by FSS.cc (unofficial remote) - NaDs - 2012-07-18 + one on being able to comment on a YouTube video and view comments Plus different view types for the YouTube section would be great Sv: XBMC Constellation For iPad/iPhone by FSS.cc (unofficial remote) - e2zippo - 2012-07-24 Hey, any news on the android version? Cheers! RE: Sv: XBMC Constellation For iPad/iPhone by FSS.cc (unofficial remote) - mrv777 - 2012-07-24 (2012-07-24, 08:28)e2zippo Wrote: Hey, any news on the android version? +1 on this. Looking forward to having it on all my android devices. Also, I didn't see it announced anywhere but the main site seems to have been down for awhile: http://fss.cc/constellation/ I alway get: 404 Not Found The request /constellation/ was not found on this server. Great App though. I borrowed an iPad and tried it. Very well done. Thanks RE: XBMC Constellation For iPad/iPhone by FSS.cc (unofficial remote) - Archigos - 2012-07-25 @0rganic: Glad you enjoy Constellation... I know Dawid responded to you already, but I just wanted to toss in some extra info. (The view I'm in right now, I can't see what Dawid wrote, so I may be repeating some information.) First, about the wiki... that's mostly my fault since I've been caught up with my medical issues and so many other projects that I truthfully forgot I even had the wiki... I wont make any promises, but I'll 'attempt' to update things on there (at least a little) by the end of the month. The "clean it up and lock it down" comment, was that in reference to Constellation or XBMC itself? I assume XBMC, in which case, once you get all the screens configured (in XBMC) to display the way you want... (posters, banners, etc.) go into the Settings Menu and normally somewhere in the "Skin" section you'll find an option for Kiosk Mode. If you turn this on, it locks the current view for TV, Movies, etc. and in most cases completely removes any "Settings" window or section inside that view. If you want to access your addons (like TED Talks, DIYnet, etc) from Constellation, as Dawid said, you can't get their interface to display on the iPad, but by clicking the little "Puzzle Piece" icon he mentioned (in the pull down navigation area) you can add little buttons that sit at the bottom of that area so you can touch TED Talks for example and (on XBMC) it will take you directly into the addon as if you navigated to it manually. In reference to #3 in your post, all three sections on the Dashboard (TV, Movies, Albums) those lists are created by whatever the most recent things scanned into XBMC... and I'm not sure if you noticed, but if you swipe across those (left and right) you can scroll through more than just the ones you initially see (I'm not sure if it's a set number in Constellation or based on the "Most Recent" from XBMC, but I think the default floats around 15 of each type). To clarify a little more on the buttons you mention in #4:
For "Update Library" buttons, you need to hold them in (and have 'fun watching the button light up') so that it will send the command to XBMC to tell it to update it's copy of the Audio or Video library. Having a 'hold' button like this prevents accidentally bumping the button and the obvious annoyance you'd experience if you ended up having to wait for a Library update all the time if you having shaky hands or aren't paying attention. And the last part to your post... since you've already paid for the full iPad version of Constellation, when you upgrade your wife's iPhone (only if they are attached to the same Apple ID) you can get Constellation on the iPhone for free. (If you and your wife use separate Apple accounts, it'd require a new purchase). After you download/sync the free version of Constellation onto her iPhone, touch the "Go Pro" button and then select the option for "Restore Purchase" and no matter what that little pop up box says about price, you will NOT be charged. (Blame Apple for the confusing part). @mrv777 and e2zippo: There's still no 'official' news on the Android version other than it is being worked on. And (purely a guess) I think the website being down is just a matter of they are either doing site updates, changing hosts, etc. since they did release another new Alpha/Beta version, about 12 hours ago I think is when I got the email, so no one needs to worry about them disappearing or abandoning the software. @everyone: I know people aren't always thrilled with signing up for 'yet another site', but if click the "Constellation Forums" link in my signature and post over there, you'd have the ability to create new topics/threads as opposed to having to skim through over 1700 posts to hopefully find what you were looking for. (Yes, there is captcha on that site, but it's to prevent spam and it goes away once you've hit 5 posts... I'm sorry about that) RE: XBMC Constellation For iPad/iPhone by FSS.cc (unofficial remote) - Duplex - 2012-07-25 Since the app is in Alpha/beta mode and not available to everyone, would it be possible to post some screenshots? I'm love this app and I'm really looking forward to the new version. RE: XBMC Constellation For iPad/iPhone by FSS.cc (unofficial remote) - Archigos - 2012-07-28 We can't post screenshots that show any of the new "special" features since the developers want them to be a full surprise. Sorry. RE: XBMC Constellation For iPad/iPhone by FSS.cc (unofficial remote) - Skank - 2012-07-28 i just installed constellation to test it out nice ! very nice! Very easy setup! One thing i didnt find, i dunno if it is even possible, is how i play audio/video directly to the ipad with it? Is that even possible? Also theres a new version coming? RE: XBMC Constellation For iPad/iPhone by FSS.cc (unofficial remote) - GENEOSYS - 2012-07-29 I've just heard about the new version you're working on, I'd like to say that constellation is my favorite remote app for xbmc in terms of functions available. The only downside I see is that I have to scroll to often. I feel there is so much wasted space when a cover or banner view is on my screen. I really hope that it is something you had in mind for the next version... I really like a screen with as much covers you can fit without it being too crowded! Maybe different view available like other remote app have, would be a nice touch. But even with that, this is still the best for xbmc and I tried all of them.

I really hope that it is something you had in mind for the next version... Sadly, iTunes is being a complete pain the butt for me right now so I can't check on my iPad right now (don't ask), but yes, there's been tweaks to the GUI on both the iPhone and iPad to help utilize the screen real-estate more... (especially to accommodate all the new features and stuff). No idea if they are planning on adding 'multiple views', but that'd be a great idea... I've been meaning to mention to them about maybe a view for TV shows that uses the logo.png instead of folder.jpg/poster.jpg/banner.jpg which pending on how it's scaled would put a lot of the shows on the screen at once reducing the scrolling as well. RE: XBMC Constellation For iPad/iPhone by FSS.cc (unofficial remote) - espengaasemyr - 2012-08-05 Fantastic App! I would like to know if it`s possible to get support for PseudoTV (Video) Addon? Like the Live TV. So we can have a list of custom channels to PseudoTV? RE: XBMC Constellation For iPad/iPhone by FSS.cc (unofficial remote) - Archigos - 2012-08-05 This has been addressed as well many times... XBMC's API currently does not send Addon data, therefore you can't see PseudoTV's interface on your iPad/iPhone (or any other addon for that matter) I think they said that may/will change in the future... (I'm using the latest Pre-Frodo, but haven't been reading up on API changes lately). The LiveTV interface is a different story since it's baked into the PVR builds of XBMC. You can however still use your iDevice to navigate PseudoTV or other addons, you'll just have to look at your TV/Display like you do anyway. RE: XBMC Constellation For iPad/iPhone by FSS.cc (unofficial remote) - Archigos - 2012-08-07 For those that missed it... a lot of new details (and some screenshots) of Constellation 2.8 is available on the Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/xbmc.constellation |
