To my knowledge none of the current remotes allow you to remotely start XBMC or browse the 'real' library offline (XBMC Commander allows you to browse the locally cached version only).
Would like a feature where you can browse a movie, then when you press play then XBMC will startup and play the movie i choosed om my ipad

The movie count shouldn't be a factor in if it works or not, but the more you have, the longer it takes. (I have about 1000 movies and over 250 shows {10,000+ episodes}.)
I just downloaded and purchased Constellation for My iPad. It looks awesome so I hope I'll get som answers to My problems...
First off connection is up an showing Green lights for both http and json! The dashboard also shows correct number of movies and tv shows! Initially I had problems getting any libraries at all to show, but after some playing around with everything from "Pull down to Sync" to "Resync local data" I got my TV-shows library to show up. Not sure what I did but after 20 minutes or so there it was. That might be something to clarify in the FAQs - the procedure of syncing your libraries for the first time.
Unfortunately the movie Library remains blank, completely black I have 1200 movies and i'm wondering if that's a problem? As for TV-shows I only have 60 or so (adding up to something like 1600 episodes though). I've tried to manually sync but nothing seems to happen, i've also tried the experimental sync i found in app settings but that made no change. On the dashboard i see three of the most recent movies added and i can access them and play them without any problems... Only problem i have is that my movie Library is completely empty It should also be mentioned that while fiddling around with all sync options the app crashed a few times - as did my XBMC-system! This might very well be due to the fact that I (for all i know) was initiating new syncs while others where going on... as I see no feedback in the app it's hard to know if something is actually happening.
I'm running a nightly build form september 4 on my ATV2. I'll try setting up a windows version until tomorrow to see if the problem lies in XBMC for iOS or not.
Any help at all would be greatly apprechiated! This app looks SO promising I just NEED to get this up and running Great work so far guys!
As m0v1em4n commented, you may want to roll back to an Aug. build (I use Aug. 28 or 29, not in front of the system right now) because Team XBMC has made recent changes to the JSON API they use which is probably causing your issues. I don't have an ATV2 and haven't bothered to actually use XBMC on my iPad (much) so no clues on iOS issues for that.
I think I'm going to create a dedicated section on my Wiki tomorrow after I get back from the hospital that should help most of you guys out... feel free to PM me ideas/suggestions on which areas to concentrate on. I'll post the link (again) after I finish getting the basics covered.
