Hi Johnny, feedback is always appreciated
johnny utah Wrote:-the remote feels a bit buggy when scrolling with two fingers it's hard to get much movement with one swipe across the screen or get any inertia on the XBMC screen.
Would be great if there was a way to click left or right (like a keyboard) to have more control over how fast one could scroll horizontally.
I found it quite hard to keep the balance between precision (ie being able to stop scrolling at the right entry) and speed. Right now i generate a keyboard event for every ~50 pixel you move on the ipad.
Idea:
I could decrease this continuously while scrolling, so scrolling gets faster the further you scroll (until you release and start anew)

-For Movies - love the current view. Any chance you could consider adding a list view including the cover so you can also read the movie titles, similar to the view in the HD Remote app? Same for music. See here: http://ipad.diqiu.me/
I just finished an alternate layout thats kinda like the bookshelf, just without all the artwork.
Clean thumbnails, black background, title and rating under each thumb.
Wait, i'll add a screenshot...
...here you go
Quote:-Would be great to get an letter list to flip to that section of the library quickly.
Tried it, didn't work well, especially not in conjunction with the bookshelf layout or when sorting by year.
Quote:-The flipping is a cool effect, but would be awesome if you could consider expanding the view when it flips to show the poster on one side of the screen and the description + play button on the other, just like the view on the Apple Movie section...I think it would be easier to read long descriptions and press the play button if bigger:

Don't know, maybe with a different overall layout.
Quote:-If you could please consider adding a "more info" button on the back of the movie covers so the when it's clicked it would show the "more info" screen on the TV as well...would be awesome in place of the Apple type view on the iPad! =)
I like that one, could happen
Quote:-Also the volume bar on the bottom has a delay after you use the slider...it doesn't move until 1 or 2 seconds later even though the volum has already changed.
Yep.
I'll definitely do something about this.
Quote:-Would be awesome if there a way to add a button shortcut (optional) for each of the areas in XBMC (ie. movies, pictures, music, weather) so that the screen would open that library without having to go back to the main screen.
You'll be able to add custom buttons that execute XBMC builtins in the next release, although i've only added builtins without parameter yet (what you think of would require a ActivateWindow(10005) for music for example).
But there will be the ability to add generic http commands, so you could add a http://<yourxbmcip>/xbmcHttp?command=ActivateWindow(10005)
Quote: -something I found a bit strange is that there's about 3 or 4 different fonts used throughout the app.
Got me there, i'm kind of a font addict. Will have to revision this, since you're absolutely right: It's a little too much
Quote:-not sure if this is a bug, but the shutdown button didn't work for me at all
This just sends an "s" to XBMC, which with the standard keyboard layout should open the shutdown menu.
Quote:-also tried to connect after my mac mini was put to sleep and didn't work
Sounds like wake on lan is required, which is rising higher and higher on my todo list
Quote:By the way, if you are interested in adding Spanish to the app languages down the line let me know...I can help.
I'll get back to that one
