This isn't available for download yet is it? I have a jailbroken 3g iphone and reading this thread is like torture! 
This app looks great, thanks so much for doing it!

Is this repo for the IPhone remote app that Narcan is describing in this thread? I see one called XBMC control. I got it installed but I cannot get it to see my music or anything at all for that matter. Do I need to change a setting on my XBMC to get this to work?

Think there is a little confusion.
I've been referring to the XBMC Remote app that I am developing, not the existing one.
The difference being that it is being written with the official SDK and will be released on the app store.
Quote:This is sounding better and better.
I'm curious what options Apple/iTunes gives developers for alpha & beta testing? Do you give Apple a list of people that you approve as testers and only they can see in iTunes initially?
Whatever it is, I'm volunteering to help test if and when you need it.
I appreciate the offer but as far as I know with the $100 license you pretty only much get the ability to support one developer, which sucks. Though I haven't added it to iTunes connect yet, so maybe there is possibility there, I'll let you know if I find anything more.
Though I've been trying to get as much test coverage as possible
My current test environment is -
- XBOX - older version of XBMC , about a year old.
- XBMC Mac - Atlantis Beta 3
- XBMC Linux - Latest SVN
Still yet to setup a windows machine..
Cheers,
Dave.

@narcan
Can we get a few more screenshots to keep us satiated. Perhaps a look at the upside down remote? This project is just awesome and I can't stop checking this thread.

You are kidding. That is truly awesome.

WOW! That is absolutely amazing! Great work man. The only thing I can suggest would be thumb caching if possible to cut down on thumbnail load time. Great work.

The only issue with the video is that you keep calling it "Xbox" Media Center.
It is no longer that. It is just "XBMC Media Center".
Otherwise, looks awesome!

Cool, glad you like it!
Yeah, though the load time is actually a bit deceiving. There is a intentionally introduced delay at the moment of around 500ms. This is just to give the ipod touch some breathing space though I should be able to change this to a lower value. Without a pause I found that it could make the UI less responsive when it was pulling down large images (even though it's doing that in a separate thread).
But yeah, if I was implemented caching I could cache the smaller files and could show them instantly next time.
Though I'll probably look at this in a subsequent release (but that won't be too far away), just because I want to try and focus on getting a release out now.

Haha I know sorry about that, it's just out of habit.. I realized this after I finished and couldn't be bothered redoing it
Anyway, thanks for the comments everyone. I'll try and submit it to the app store today so hopefully all goes well and it gets put up. Don't know how long this will take though.. the whole app process is a real pain in the ass, especially with the code signing.

That's great news narcan. 
I'll search the app store every 3 minutes. This is the most excited about something for XBMC since I saw Aeon. Please make sure and add a donation link somewhere.

Regarding the cache.. Does the API support some sort of getCRCforThumb which you can compare to the cached files in the flash of the iPod/iPhone?
I'm thinking if the thumbs in XBMC changes, new copies should be fetched. It's not enough to just compare filesize or dates I guess.
I've ordered an iPod Touch just for this application. Tnx a bunch!
