Hi, I've just tried this remote (1.10) on my iPad (ios 4.3) and it works great. Love the idea of new versions being submitted to app store all the time.
I have one small, but annoying problem. If I connect to my XBMC (Windows 7, 10.0) everything works great. But if I close the program from the taskbar (the running programs that come up if you click twice on the button) and then start the remote again, it will never succeed to connect again. Not until I "reboot" my iPad will it connect again without a problem. Actually it looses contact with my XBMC quite often without quiting the app, but this is a way to reproduce the problem every time for me.
I've only played around with it a short while tonight, but I thought of a couple of enhancements that would be great. I know nothing of the HTTP-api, so some of these things might not even be possible to do. It's just my wish-list, I'm very happy with the remote as it works now, but would be even happier if...
* The search-field. It would be great if it stayed at the top when scrolling down. You might be far down the list when you suddenly decide you want to search instead.
* Scrolling. If you sort on anything else than name, there's no possibility to scroll down the list. If you have something like 1000 movies and want to check the oldest one you better start in good time...
* Sorting. It would be great if selecting the same sort method again, sorted in the opposite direction, e.g. First time you select year released it would show newest first, but if you select it again it would start with the oldest one.
* Sorting again. The possibility to sort in Genres and actors categories. If you select Comedy and want to see the one with the best rating, it would be useful if you could sort on rating.
* It would be nice if you could bring up all information on a movie while listing it. Now you get the year, rating and a short summary. But if you could press a small i-icon to bring up all available information for a movie, like runtime, actors, genres, exact numeric imdb rating and so on, that would be even better.
* I usually use the File mode (Sources) browsing my movies, mainly because I rarely want the children's all movies mixed with all the other movies, but also because part of my library is a mess. Using one directory for each movie (as I do), it would be great if you could start a movie directly on the directory level, similar to pressing 'p' on the directory in XBMC.
* Be able to bring up all available info on a movie from the File view.
Well that was all on my wish-list for the moment. Not sure if you want requests like this, otherwise just ignore it. But it would be great if you had any idea on the connect problem. Let me know if I can provide any further information.
Thanks!
