XBMC Remote7 is a library browser and remote for Windows Phone 7.

Features:

Based on the new JSON-RPC interface for consistent, stable and fast responses from XBMC.

Fully threaded asynchronous code base - XBMC Remote7 will never freeze or lock up, it will always deliver a fluid and seamless UI experience.

Manage unlimited XBMC installations seamlessly from anywhere in the world.

Rich library browser including all meta data and album/cover art.

Ability to queue media at any level i.e. Add all songs by artist to the playlist or all episodes by season etc.

Virtual remote using the touch screen to send key input to XBMC as though you were using a physical remote.

Optomised for the Windows Phone 7 experience making use of the new Pivot and Panorama layouts to seamlessly display all relevant information from a single panel - No need to constantly drill down through sub menus like on other platforms.

Roadmap:

The core library that interacts with XBMC has been completed and all relevant JSON-RPC calls implemented. The focus is now on tightening the user experience to provide the most fluid and intuitive interface possible.

XBMC Remote7 will be available from the market place on Windows Phone 7 launch day. Free and Premium versions will be available. The premium version will be cheap and I hope it will be a compelling deal.

Please feel free to give me some feedback or feature suggestions, this app is for the community so I will listen to everyone and implement suggestions as soon as possible

Website:

Incremental updates will be posted on my personal site at http://digitalreality.co.nz/ - Sorry it's so bland I actually do a lot of web design I just haven't had the time to put any effort in to this site but I'll get there.

Hey thanks

It will be on the official market place - It gives it more exposure and makes it easier for everyone to find and download. There will be a free and premium version. Not sure of the differences between the two yet but they will be minor and the the premium version will be very cheap

Great work dstruktiv, looks great and like a pleasure to use.
The virtual remote is something I'd use so thanks for including it

You've got at least one premium app sold right here!

App looks cool, interested in seeing what happens at the Windows 7 phone launch event tomorrow and see if it's truly a OS contender again.

By the way, did you know your site's WebOfTrust page is very poor? The Chrome addon prevented me from going to it without consent: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/digitalreality.co.nz

After playing with the dev tools I have to say it's the most developer friendly device available and devs are ultimately what make a platform. I think it's going to be very successful

And the site... I used to do a lot of dev for jtag'd Xbox 360's as a personal hobby, I had a site hosted under a sub directory which hosted my apps as well as a few third party ones. There was a single executable that was flagged as malware (It most certainly wasn't!) which seems to have permanently affected the sites rating even though that file has long since been removed.

Were you able to use it to get this to work without having it install VS2010 Express via the downloader? On the MS website I could only find the installer that tries to install VS 2010 Express.

I have a full version of VS 2010 already, and i'd prefer to use it instead.

I ran the installer over a full VS 2010 install, it actually skipped downloading and installing the express edition even though it makes you feel like that's what it's about to do.
