Hello,
first of all thanks for your awesome interface.
But i have one problem, i cannot stream anything through my chrome browser. I open the local tab, choose a song and click on the play button, but the playback wont start. But instead the login window appears and i have to type in my login informations again (dont know if this is relevant for you).
But the xbmc remote works like a charm!
Maybe i do something wrong, i dont know...

Cant find the original thread now, but was curious as the status of this?
Essentially the feature request is, a way to completely configure kodi remotely from a web interface after initial installation.
having just spent a week setting up 7 ATVs, 5 RasbperryPI's and a couple of windows boxes, it would have been great to be able to do it all from one browser.
I realize the default web interface is pretty broken at the moment and the general rule of thumb is to use Chorus, as this was created by a team-xbmc member, is there a plan to make this the new default?
Maybe i should be asking if there are plans to add settings to chorus if the underlying system allows settings to be changed already?

I've been looking for a decent web interface for awhile now with no luck. Here's how Chorus rates so far for me:
1. Interface - Not ugly. Yay! I'll probably switch at least partially to using this instead of the xbmc app.
2. Responsiveness - Definitely acceptable, at least for the size my library is now.
3. Interface on iPhone - Double Yay! Looks and functions perfectly as a remote.
4. Local playback on iOS devices - Not so yay. This doesn't seem to work properly yet for either audio or video.
Local playback works perfectly when I am on a desktop/laptop browser, however I've installed xbmc onto all of these machines already. I'm more likely to use local play on a portable device since installing xbmc on my phone, for example, would require me to jailbreak, which I do not think is entirely safe to do.
Great work on this plugin though, it's still useful to me even if it doesn't do everything I had hoped it would.

Just installed Chorus, and so far i really like it - much better than some of the stand alone remotes for XBMC in terms of all the movie/TV show information. My only trouble here is that on the iPad, i have to enter my login details every time I fire it up: I have autofill for passwords on in the Safari settings - am i mission something?
Hope you can help, and again, thanks for a great addon!

Does anybody have a problem with how posters are displayed? I have a number of TV show thumbs that are evidently 16x9 thumbs, but since thumbs are used where posters should be, many of my TV show listings are compressed and pretty ugly. Am I the only one with this problem?
