sorry for the long silence.
As some of you suggested, i've been quite busy on my job for the last months.
This didn't mean that i dropped XBMC Commander though.
Since the current version is running pretty stable and near bugfree, i decided to rip appart the core of the project, and implement a totally different caching mechanism (database driven). For this i adapted a iOS framework called core data, learning how to work with it btw.
Well, after two months of struggling with core data i've got something up and running that is running somehow, but far from stable.
And every problem i fix seems to give birth to two more...
I'm very seriously considering dropping back to the version i forked from about 2 months ago, and start adding features again instead of improving the base.

BTW there is a "bug" in recent nightlies, preventing gestures from working:
Turns out the keycodes i used for up/down/left/right (found them by trial and error) have been fixed in XBMCs codebase.
I'll adapt to this asap.
For now, there's a workaround:
Add the following to your keyboard.xml

Code:

<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<!-- XBMC Commander fix -->
<ampersand>Up</ampersand>
<leftbracket>Down</leftbracket>
<percent>Left</percent>
<quote>Right</quote>
</keyboard>
</global>
<FullscreenVideo>
<keyboard>
<!-- XBMC Commander fix -->
<ampersand>BigStepForward</ampersand>
<leftbracket>BigStepBack</leftbracket>
<percent>StepBack</percent>
<quote>StepForward</quote>
</keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>

(Thanks Vincent for the tip)

So long,
Heiner

Sounds like time to get myself an aTV...
What you describe suggests that the request querying the movie list times out.
This shouldn't be. My own library with >300 movies takes less then a heartbeat to load.
So my guess would be that this is an XBMC issue. Could well be some inconsistency in your database. Rescanning _might_ help, if it's not too inconvenient.
btw nightly from 25th should be sufficient...

grywnn Wrote:@gkenyon / all aTV users:
Finally figured out why sliding no longer works.
Reason is that the public aTV version is dated 3 months back, and still uses the old keyboard layout, while XBMC Commander detects it as a nightly build and assumes the new layout.
An update fixing this is submitted to apple, should be available soon (if they keep being as fast as last week: This evening).

My MovieDB has about 140 Movies and i use centralised MySQL database. TVShows view is working as expected. I already redid the DB and got it working with running XBMC on MacOS. But no go on ATV2.

If you need any further information - let me know what i should provide.

My problem seemed to be related to either having old database versions around from previous nightlies, or a malformed database. Try the Clean Database option in Settings->Videos, then clearing the cache data in XBMC Commander. If that doesn't work, delete the old database versions in the userdata/Database folder (MyVideos##.db, I'm using version 57), that fixed the problem for me.
