Hello Constellation Team,
I've been using constellation for a while now on the iPad and iPhone and it is awesome!
It does everything I want and more. It's just that the "more" part is a bit hard to find out.

It took me a long while for example before I found out that I had to hold the suspend button a while before it works.
I get the design idea behind this but I had to find that out by experimenting (I actually bought the program because I thought it was "full version" feature).

Maybe its a good idea to post a FAQ of manual of some sorts on the website sometime?
I think I can do allot more with this program but I have no idea how to find out.
For example, what can I do with the gesture area?

As Dawid mentioned, one is 'kind of' in the works... but a lot will be changing very soon so at this point it'd be better to wait (and add all the new features at the same time).
As far as the Gesture area... when you turn that on, instead of having an actual left,right,up,down,enter (the button in the center of the arrows) you would swipe your finger in the direction you want to go... slowly for a single movement, faster to act kind of like a 'page down' or 'page up'... for 'enter' in the gesture area, you just single tap or (may be wrong on this one as my iPad isn't right here) a double tap+hold on second tap brings up the Context Menu.

Hi guys,

I have a new XBMC-HTPC up and running and I downloaded Constellation on my iPad and iPhone but both can't connect. Should it matter if I have a switch in between my router and HTPC?

My Router - 192.168.2.1
My HTPC - 192.168.2.177
My PC - 192.168.2.188

I can't access the web remote page via 192.168.2.177:80 (which is the set IP on XBMC). I can connect to the PC though, and I can ping and tracert (1 hop).

The apps also can't connect, I specify the IP address, and it even detects the host, but it doesn't connect with XBMC. I've watched the Youtube video and I followed it to the tee. I made sure the same items are activated as the video.

Any other debugging/testing I can do to check the network setup?

Thanks.

Sounds to me that whatever system XBMC is running on is already using port 80 (which is the default port for all normal web traffic). Another possibility is that your router/switch is set to forward port 80 to a different system. Try going into XBMC and changing the port in your Network Settings (make sure the port is NOT used by any of your other HTPC apps, or anything else for that matter) then go into Constellation and change the port number in there to match it. Your best bet is to use a port in the 'safe zone' (1025-65535) since these ports aren't normally dedicated to specific tasks and are generally free (unless you used them manually for something else).
