The webserver is broken in current Eden builds, and the remote relies on that.

Eden is, after all, still in development.

Also on tvshows it goes to portrait and cant auto adjust. Movieds works ok. On movies the parentalguide rating information gets cutoff.

Also how do i bring up the keyboard on app. Im using an asus transformer tablet.

I found he answer! just increase the socket timeout, in the "Manage XBMC Hosts" setting for the host you are connecting to. I increased mine from 6000, to 9000, and now it works perfectly!

I have a strange problem with the remote control of this app / XBMC

First some background:
I have 2 android devices both with the latest version of the app:
HTC desire phone
Nook Color tablet running cm7

I also have 2 clients:
yavdr PVR XBMC (pre eden built 22/10/11)
OpenElec (eden beta 1 built 28/12/11)

Now my phone can control both perfectly as a remote control, so I know the web server is working on both.

My Nook can control the OpenElec without a problem, but with the YAVDR XBMC the remote control portion does not work. I can browse the media files and play them, even press on the playback timeline to skip forward or backward, but no key presses on the remote control work.

Any ideas?

I have Eden with the latest version from Android Market. Like others, I can only start videos but not use the remote control portion of the app. I have a Galaxy S2 as well.

Here's a pastebin of the debug log.

I seeked, spammed remote control buttons, and seeked again so relevant information should be between the 2 seeks.

Remote works fine for browsing and starting my movies and TV shows, but I can't pause or stop with the remote functions.
