Hi guys

Ultra rookie question - I am excited to use this remote but just cant get it to connect from my ipad to my pc or laptop. Can you spare a sec to give me some advice? Here is what I have done:

Identifier - Test1
IP/ Hostname - I type the IP I find on http://www.whatismyip.com
XBMC Port - 8080, same as XBMC shows. I also shut down all firewalls
Username and Password - left blank, same as XBMC

I have XBMC 10.1 and the newest Commander (downloaded only about 3 hours ago). I am using Windows 7, if that matters. All XBMC settings are as per http://www.xbmc-commander.com/page2/page4/page4.html I am sure it is something really obvious that I am doing wrong but I am getting really frustrated and need some help.

Thanks guys

Mike

Thanks for your reply dibsta. On xbmc 10.1 the screen is different to the guide and I cannot find anywhere that shows the ip, despite following the Commander guide. Any ideas?

If your using Confluence at the home screen go down to system expand by pushing right with keyboard arrow you will see a sub menu with system info click on this ,you see your IP

Audio Playlists - Mathazar - 2011-04-18

I'm running XBMC 10.1 on top of Win7 and just got the Commander app for my iPad last night - it's very, very slick! Everything seems to be working quite well, but I do have a question on Audio Playlists.

I've read some posts regarding JSON issues and how Playlist support really needs to be cleaned up in XBMC in order for Commander to work properly, but should I actually be seeing my Playlists in the Command app? I have about 50 different M3U Playlists stored in XBMC and they work fine thru the XBMC interface. When I go to the Playlist menu on the Commander app, all I see as a choice is "Party" (which works). I was hoping to be able to launch my custom Playlists from the Commander app so that when I'm setting up music for the house or pool area, I could do it from the iPad without having to turn on the TV, change to the proper input, grab my airmouse, etc. etc.

Advice?

Thanx,
Kris

Great work, everything's just great, except:

Using the latest nightly (ATV2/Windows) no movies / series are displayed.

Guess it's due to the latest JSON commit?

Grywnn, great work on the latest update. I do have one small request if it is possible. Can we have an option to hide some categories on the bottom. Imlikemthe YouTube option, but don't use it. Same with pictures. It would be nice to be able to hide them.

That's all, thanks for the good work!


- opeters - 2011-04-20

Hi Grywnn,

When I create a label and configure it to use the http:// function it does not send the http request.
Also the keyboard function does not appear to work with the latest version.

Could you have a look at this.


- Drol - 2011-04-20

When you user remote screen which displays currently playing item, when playing music I see song name but I cant see Album name.


I consider this as a basic function. Im not seeing it but could be just me missing the obvious?

Keep in mind that Grywnn is on vacation for one more week Wink


Delay in sound when selecting song - martdj - 2011-04-20

I have one problem with this app, which I wonder if other people recognize. If I select a song from my music selection and press play, the song starts immediately, but it takes a while (like a bit over a second) before I actually hear some sound. If I use the normal remote this doesn't happen. Quite weird. Also I can't stop the music using the stop button in the "remote" part.

Hey grywnn,

I love the XBMC Commander app, it rocks! However, I don't like the whole schoolboard kind of look. It would be awesome to have a theme that looks kind of like this:

What do you think? Thanks and keep on rocking!

Could not agree with you more. I also don't like the gesture remote thing. I prefer slick buttons...
