oh on the top left is there any chance of adding the star rating for movies and a movie and tv show count so you know how many you have on your server

for some reason the tv shows somtimes show as posters and other times as banners it just does what it want on that part ?

finally, a really good app for my iphone to control xbmc. tried them all, but that's certainly the best.
i am not sure if this was asked before, but will you support for example last.fm (search for artists...) or other (music) addons?
that would be great.
thanks for this app!

"Theoretically the app should run just as well on an ipod as on an iphone, but as we say here in germany: Der Teufel ist ein Eichhörnchen.
Here's what i'm going to do about it: I'm going to head to my favorite apple store, bug them a little about why my iPad 2 is taking so long to deliver, and buy an ipod for testing... Lets see if i can reproduce the issue. I'll keep you updated."
I have an Ipod touch, Phone, and a pad I'll give it a quick go on the Pod for you later tonight, I'll probably only test movies as I don't use XBMC for music, and don't have my (very few) TV series scraped properly yet.
Thanks for your hard work, good luck in fixing these bugs.

Bought an ipod, took me about 2 minutes to figure out the problem...
Silly stupid little mistake - the ipod doesn't know which window to start with.
You can specify either a default window or a specific one for ipad and one for iphone. I did the later. Who would have guessed that the ipod, having the same ui as the iphone, doesn't use the window defined for iphone but looks for the default...?
Well, i've fixed this, but i don't think i can use apples express lane for urgent updates again.
So this update will have to go the usual way and will be available in ~one week.
btw:
There's still a iphone / ipad only (aka lite) version of the app in apples revision pipeline. That one will work on the ipod.
As for addon support:
xbmc currently offers no external interface to addons, so theres no way for me to comunicate with them.

Hi - love your xbmc commander, but one question: when I am not connected to xbmc: why do i have empty lists in tv episodes or empty descriptions when i click on a film detail - can you change this so every thing is in offline mode accessible?
cheers,

Hi there grywnn exellent app and i mean that not many apps impress me but this app is tremendous.
a couple of questions.
Q1 I know you said you have to scrap banners for the tv shows so that you cna view them as banners in the xbmc commander. But where do you do this is it in the videos or movies as when i go to videos there still all in posters and i have checked the scraper option and its not selected as posters ? or is it just getting the folders.jpg from my folder as default which are posters.
Do i need to go into videos select a tv show and change the picture to a banner.jpg so that xbmc commander loads it up as banners ? and what happens if there mixed as banners and poster sizes.
i have my tv shows as posters at teh min as all my tv shows lib all have there tv shows pictures set to folder.jpg whihc is the same size as posters.
i quick help on how to get the banners to work would be great.
Q2 can you add some sort of how many movies and tv show numbers to the top left of the remote.
Q3 are the shortucts on the same screenas thegestures on the ipad ? as i know your limited to screen size on the iphone.
Q4 how much space does the cache take up on the iphones memory ? i was just woundering as i wanted to know if it reduce the iphone space by alot
Q5 also it would be great if you could add options to disable some shortcuts like libaray update as my wife has already touched this twice and buggerd some shows up. might be better to add that in the options menu maybe ?
cheers for the great app can not wait to try it out on my ipad when i get it as this is why i wanted this app great on the iphone but i bet it looks great on the ipad.

This application is GREAT!
...but I have one tiny suggestion/question:
Is it possible to list the TV shows in banner-mode but have two columns? (like XBMC typically displays them)
It would look MUCH better.
