All the issues I had reported now seem resolved with latest test flight.
I like the use of the Kodi logo on the top of the main menu.
The only thing I think could use a little more polish is the right menu. I see you removed the top row. It almost feels too sparse now. Things like the volume control are now even more out of reach for single hand use and the toast notifications overlap the first entry in the list. Perhaps adding a context header to the right menu would improve its appearance. Not a huge deal just my observation.
Edit: not sure if your intention was to remove all UI colorization but that effect is still present when viewing movie details on iPhone.

Thanks for checking the fixes on your reported issues.
Yep, the remote screen's right menu looks a bit sparse now. Maybe I have a better idea how to use this better in future. And you're right, I also figured the volume bar is placed quite high now, I was even thinking of moving it down, just above the button toolbar. Let's see ...
And you very well recognized the colorization which is still used for the navigation bar of the movie/album/show details. I really felt this was looking worse when I removed it there as well -- too boring.

Yes, I admit it was closed w/o commenting further. I dropped the runtime as there is no space left for it on iPhone. At least now the amount of listed is shown as for all other lists.

Random observation tonight. I was skipping songs one after another in party mode. For some reason if you do this too much, possibly too fast, it turns off party mode and music playback stops. I even had a scenario where the playlist emptied even though on the now playing screen there was still a song loaded.
Happens on windows and Xbox. Doesnât seem to happen if I use a physical remote to skip songs.
Sometimes even when playback continues you will see party mode icon turn off for a second and then turn back on. The app must be constantly querying the status from the Kodi server?

Small glitch on iPads:
When you use the new Now Playing button to go directly from some browsing to the Now Playing screen, the previously selected menu (e.g. Music) is not implicitly deselected. Due to this, it is not possible to continue browsing by simply selecting the menu entry again, because this now only deselects the entry. As a result, you have to touch the menu twice.
Not a big deal, obviously, but I think it could be easily fixed before sending the App to the store.

Thank you for digging deep into the playlist issue. Hopefully that other thread gains some traction. đđ»

Currently it is the other way round. If the feature is enabled in the settings, which is default, the blurred cover is preferred and fallback to fanart is done in case no cover is present. If the feature is disabled this behaves as before.

Kodi has an option somewhere âhide empty showsâ.
But (it seems) that the list of shows Kodi remote retrieves these hidden shows are also sent. Which results in empty shows being shown in the list on the remote.
Can this kodi setting somehow be also made to work in the remote, so that empty shows are also hidden on the remote show list?

I did not look into this yet, but it should be feasible. Something similar was done with the setting to show/hide movie sets with only 1 movie.
How can I create an empty TV show?
