Tolriq,
A couple things I noticed. On the Official XBMC android remote they have the option to set up multiple hosts with a pretty good way to switch between them. I have two computers running XBMC. One is in the front room and the other in the bedroom. Is there a way enhance this to make it so that I can manage multiple hosts with a quick and easy way to switch between them? Right now if I have my remote set to the one in the bedroom and then move downstairs I need to switch to that one. My memory isn't as good as it used to be and trying to remember the IP address of each machine is getting difficult.
At times there's a "seeming" long delay or "unresponsiveness" to your widget (and remote) when I have the wrong host IP set. Some of this is perception in not recognizing which host it is set to. Placing something stating the active host would be great. Other times there is a real unresponsiveness that can be frustrating. This happens when the host IP address is set yet XBMC is not loaded. Can you eliminate this unresponsiveness or minimize it?
Other issues:
1) On the remote portion of your app at the center top there is an icon. That either changes or you changed it from a WOL to something else, and then maybe back. It's hard to tell what happened. On one of my devices it was the WOL icon, then on another it is an icon that represents tools. Did I make this change to that functionality (maybe depending on which function I'm on) or did you change it then change it back?
2) Your widget says "widget" on it. Can you remove that? I know it is a widget, especially so on those that are 3rd party such as yours.
3) You fixed your version of the "send to". Great job. That's what made me donate. BTW, I would have donated more. I have identified another website that you might want to look at. JUSTIN.TV is one of them. There seems to be no way to "send to" XBMC from those web pages.
4) Can you put a progress slider on the "widget"? Not just a progress indicator, but a functional slider. That way I don't have to tap and wait for the full remote to load.
5) Is there a way to get this set up to work on WebOS?
