Great job.
Thanks. It's actually VERY heavy on the JavaScript (almost entirely written in JavaScript). It looks like the Nokia 770 runs Opera, which doesn't run this very well at all, unfortunately. (Firefox would work, if that runs on the 770?)
Of course, XBMC iPhone Remote is completely open source, and anyone is welcome to try to modify it to work on other browsers/devices. That said, my primary goal is 100% compatibility with the iPhone, so that's where I'm focusing my energy.
But if you can modify it in such a way as to maintain iPhone compatibility I would definitely merge it back in the "official" release, otherwise you could fork your own device/browser specific version.

Any ideas?
Hmm strange. Are you running a recent version of XBMC? Are there any JavaScript errors (Tools -> Error Console in Firefox,
Debug menu -> Show JavaScript Console in Safari) or alert popups?

In fact there is but it's kinda hidden
... click the title (between "Now Playing" and the back button). I couldn't figure out a good place to put a dedicated button.

Sure, that shouldn't be too hard.
Quote:Also, it wasn't until I dug through the code that I saw the track controls and volume shows up if you tilt the iPhone to landscape. VERY cool feature, but I didn't see it mentioned.
Yeah that's one of my favorite features, but it's not very complete and it's still buggy. I'm working on a better one that will hopefully be done within a week or so.
(question for CSS gurus: since z-index apparently only applies to absolutely positioned elements, and the file browse pages aren't absolutely positioned, the controls get put behind them even if I give the controls a z-index of 1000 or whatever... how do I fix this this?)
Quote:And lastly, I saw that the shuffle and repeat options were commented out. Those would be nice to have in the next release.
Yes, I haven't figured out how to control that from the web interface... anyone have any ideas? "SetGUISetting", I'm guessing, I just don't know exactly how.
Thanks everyone for all your comments.
