An update is waiting to be published in the play store
Some new things:
- Support for Raspberry Pi. You have to enable "Raspberry Pi Mode" in the settings
- File browser for music / video / files. If you add musicdb:// and videodb:// as file source (go into the file manager inside xbmc and add the two sources) you are able to browse Movie tags, Movie sets, Recently added... the way you are used to do it from xbmc itself
- Added some additional buttons to the remote.
- Addes support to browse through your music and video addons and play / queue items (does not work on all addons but addons like youtube, radio, vimeo, vevo, ... seem to work fine)
- Added support to play a playlist in party mode
- Browse your upnp/dlna sources visible from xbmc and start playback on xbmc
- Probably other changes not listed...

Hi there,
just wanted to thank you for this app. I have been using XBMC headless for music listening for some time and this makes it perfect. Also with a screen to be finally able to browse addons from the remote is a huge plus.
I'm facing some issues with the queue not working properly on Eden. On the Android side i'm using ICS on a Nook Color. Any ideas? XBMC would play one or two songs but then suddenly stop though other songs have been added to the queue.
MB
Edit: It appears to be an issue on nightlies. I have Eden with PVR but possibly this is already the reason?

The play queue for music is managed on the android device and not on xbmc itself. Since I don't want to poll xbmc for the playback status every second the app relies on the notifications (play, pause, stop,...) received from xbmc to detect that a song finished in order to play the next one. On some xbmc builds the notifications are broken which may be the case with the build you are using.

Just wanted to say your recent updates have been making this app exponentially more appealing to me. I like the direction you have taken it in by focusing on more than just the music!

Soulmote is a very special case, the firsts releases where very bugged but with a direct paying app users usually don't forgive. And the second part is that it's way too much a iOs port, the wood things most Android users won't wan't it they bought an Android device not an iDevice
About paying in android users are used to the freemium / free with add and pay for remove adds or more functions. Yatse won't make me rich but users do play the game and unlock to say thanks and it pays my coffees :p.
I have some experience about total free + donate with Yatse for Windows and while this works great when the app is missing functions when it reach maturity donation will slow down since users don't have the feeling to get something in return, while US guys may continue to donate, EU guys are way less in this spirit.
All that to say that while I hate adds so did not choose this path I'm pretty sure users will follow you and pay to remove them and say thanks to you since your app is stable and cool
