Except one small issue, if I close the IPAD and then open it again constellation wants to reconnects and then does, I believe by the alert message on the screen it has, but it still takes a good 10-20 seconds before any of the buttons on the remote I press will start to work, so If I want to go to the next episode some times I'm waiting 10-20 seconds to be able to change to the next epsiode. Is this normal?Pending on your current hardware, this is normal (and not Constellation's fault) it's due to the way the JSON API works. You can go into your Apple Settings on the iPad and turn off the notification that gets sent by Constellation. This will remove the pop-up box from XBMC if you don't like it. (It most likely will NOT change any stutter/delay issue as that's hardware/JSON/etc.)

I just downloaded and installed the free version of Constellation for my iPhone 4 running iOS 5. A few comments:
1. Was able to easily configure XBMC, and can connect via iPhone with both HTTP and TCP. Green light at top. Great work on the ease of this.
2. Was able to download video and tv libraries, no problem. Nice work here, too.
3. BIG PROBLEM: The interface is not at all intuitive. I can browse into my movies and hit the play button, but that is the ONLY button that works. None of the other buttons work. And, by the way, why is there no stop button, or ff/rew? Pause? Anything? Am I missing something?
4. BIG PROBLEM #2: Where is the help? I'm trying to understand what I SHOULD be able to do, and it's really frustrating not being able to determine whether it's user error or if it's (not) working as expected.
Full disclosure, I did not read through this entire thread.
Running XBMC 10.1 (XBMC live), compiled March 9, 2011.
Thanks!
3.) The iPhone version is getting it's GUI overhauled in an upcoming version. If you read post 478 it explains what you're overlooking.
4.) If you can either post here or PM me a list of your question on what you think should happen, etc. I can try to explain the stuff... and it'll probably give a better idea of areas to focus on when Burb and I continue to expand the Wiki article(s) about it.
