I have a few requests / comments in feedback to using the app for the last few days.
Firstly, it doesn't always seem to pick up when videos are playing; showing the "Nothing is playing" bar at the top of the screen. The biggest time I've seen it happen is if the app is started after a video; but it's occurred whilst the app is open but the video was started with the keyboard too. This is quite common in that I'll start the video, then sit down with my phone and use that to pause if I need to.
Secondly, if I go inside any TV show to where I would expect the seasons to be listed, none are shown to me at all. I can see the individual shows and their posters fine, but nothing below that meaning it's impossible to start a episode with the app - increasing how annoying my first point is.
Thirdly, is it possible to have an option to change the display underneath the movies from a rating to something else, preferably the year but maybe also the tagline for the movie? My opinion of a movie rarely relates to how others have rated it so this really has no function to me.
Fourthly, is there a way to offer a button to go up one level inside TV Shows when browsing on the TV? This function was available in XBMC Controller either so I don't know if it's possible but I have disabled the "Up one level" option showing in my lists through advancedsettings and that means once I'm inside a show using the app I can only get back to the main screen. Selecting to go into TV Shows at that point takes me back in at the same point. To watch a different show I have to bring up the on-screen keyboard and press backspace.
Finally, is it please possible to allow the display of banners instead of posters in the TV Shows list? I can choose the option of banner size in the options, but all that does is move the poster into the middle, not actually show the poster.
Thanks for this app; I'm really liking it at the moment - especially seeing XBMC Controller seems to have stopped development. Definitely already my main app for controlling my XBMC without getting up and will be amazing if all the things above are addressed!
