Hey guys, I've been looking FOREVER for this functionality!
I downloaded the .CAB and have some remarks
I'm using a HTC HD2 on the latest ARTEMIS, so latest Windows Mobile
Just to let you know the current findings:

1. The way it is set-up is perfect, don't change it to make it too fancy
2. The port is hard-coded, this is very annoying since I have a lot of other services running
3. The app crashes very often still. Mostly when starting a video or browsing into TV series

Keep up the good work!

Johnsel Wrote:Don't really remember if it was still hardcoded in the downloadable version, if you can set it yourself, is it correct? if not? should be 8080 in xbmc...

I've changed the port from 80 to 8080, now i can acces my Movies, but with the TV Shows it still crashes.

The log shows the following:



It apparantly is trying to open the fan art that goes with the series, but for me this isn't neccesary, if it could just display the name that would be ok.
In the Movies section it also only displays names, no banner or poster.

Could it be that the problem lies in the loading of the pictures?

I just thought of a 'feature/change' that might be good
In WinMo you have 2 softbuttons, the one now says either Exit or Back, which of course is good, however the other says either Menu (logically) or nothing.
Could you perhaps implement a 'RemoteControl' button?

Because if i now start a movie from the library (which works without a problem now) i have to press Back and then RemoteControl to get to the RemoteControl part.

Just a thought, anyhow great work
I'm using it almost daily

Update on the behaviour of the app on my phone.

I'm using a HTC Touch HD with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Sense from the HD2.

If i disable Sense (or when i've just restarted Sense) the TV Shows part works!
It shows all the banners of all the shows, and i can choose different episodes. The only thing or show that doesn't work is Criminal Minds, that is also the only show with more then 2 seasons on my PC. If i go to that show it crashes again.

So am i right in concluding that it is some kind of overload-crash?

Anyhow, hope you'll be able to figure this out with the extra info

just find this great app.
Its really good piece of soft even if is still full of bugs.
I have installed it on my HTC HD2(Leo) with latest Energy ROM and its worked without probs.
Remote buttons work fine - no probs
from library mode only Movies works for me, the rest crash the app
Also Now Playing works fine and its shows the covers

few suggestions -
1. when app starts always need to click Menu and than connect - so what about make some option for autoconnect after app starts ?

2. in lib mode for example in Movies when its shows the list of movies be nice to have also pics of covers

Thanks m8 for this soft

Thanks Man! Always wanting this for my mobile.
Testet it, almost everything works fine.
Two points: The Remote looks like this:

on my Acer P300, resolution is: 240x400
And my second thought: A volume control would be nice.
Thanks for your work so far!

http://img405.imageshack.us/i/remoten.jpg
to make it usefull
plzz support the hardware buttons (so that we dont have to look at the touch screen every time)

or just make 5 extra big buttons on the whole screen to control play/pause,up,down,left ,right(this also will let us control without looking at the screen)
i have qvga screen

dude really my advice will be very usefull for everyone.....
thanx in advance

Running it (trying) on HTC TyTN II and have the same problem with scrabbled buttons as hubi2000 and exception error as in post #98 above by citkatboy.

@citkatboy: How did you solve the exception problem? I'm on Ubuntu Maverick and installed Dharma regulary through repository.

Hello All.

First off all... this sounds like a fantstic remote! I installed it on my device and it looks great, but my remote lay-out is scrambled (like @citkatboy and @Hubi2000).
I can, however, use the buttons (and it works very very very fast!), but because the lay-out isn't right i don't now wich button i push....

Are there any plans for an update that supports QVGA sreens?

This is awesome!! Thanks so much for making this, I just tried it tonight and it is great! Super convenient should I forget where my remote is

Tried every method to get this working on my HTC P6300 WM5...no joy desperate to get it working as I have half a dozen of these..... got one to send to the person who actually gets this working for me.

Would you release the source code? I would like to try to modify it to fit on my Touch Diamond screen.

Project dead?

Pretty much, yeah.. I'll release the sources soon in case anyone would like to continue with it..
