start xmbc program from remote? - gfunk - 2012-07-18 hey guys Just got XMBC remote, its sick I can change tracks on the media PC from anywhere in the house one semi-big problem.. my media pc is windows 7 x64, if XMBC isn't open on the media pc then the remote doesnt work.. can you add a feature that lets the android remote start the xmbc program on the host machine? im guessing you'd need to make xmbc a system service to do this.. cheers gfunk RE: start xmbc program from remote? - HenryFord - 2012-07-18 http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=98772 RE: start xmbc program from remote? - gfunk - 2012-07-18 Hey Henry I saw that thread when originally searching, was hoping you could do it using the existing (official) program & remote hopefully it's on the cards.. RE: start xmbc program from remote? - HenryFord - 2012-07-18 Another solution is my little program, you can do that then with the help of the remote (You then can just use the button "Turn Power On" in the remote: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=101040 RE: start xmbc program from remote? - Tolriq - 2012-07-18 Yatse Widget is shipped with Xbmc Starter that does that from the remote. V2 with full media browsing will soon arrive. RE: start xmbc program from remote? - HenryFord - 2012-07-18 Mhm, I like the idea behind Yatse, seeing as a "Now Playing"-Widget would be so great for XBMC. Unfortunately I think that the widgets are ugly (No offense, but it really doesn't fit the overall style of my Homescreen - everything being dark and...uhm..."shiny"). But Google Play mentions that you have skinning support in the bought version - can you post a link to some skins? That would be awfully nice of you I would be buying the unlocker then. RE: start xmbc program from remote? - Tolriq - 2012-07-18 You have screen shots of the dark and shiny skin in the unlocker in the market It's very hard to find a default skin that suits to everybody I wanted to set Yatse Widget full free with a Donate option, giving donors a skin feature to thanks them seems a good compromise. At the moment only 2 skins since my skinner don't have any more time but I hope to give more as I find some people to make them RE: start xmbc program from remote? - HenryFord - 2012-07-18 Ah - allright then, thanks for the reply, I'll buy it then tonight (my network connection at work is running through a proxy which blocks images from google's playstore (because that makes a lot of sense, security-wise ) But I just found some pictures of the skin on your website (no image-blocking there... yeah... our proxy admins really don't know what they are doing...) and it looks great. Thanks again! P.S: I really don't mind buying apps any longer as long as the developement is steady and I'll use the app for a long time (and I probably will use this for years) - seeing that your app easily fits that description, I don't mind supporting you!

So you won't have to actually start the app up and then launch xbmc. A single click on an icon on your home screen will suffice RE: start xmbc program from remote? - wes paich - 2012-10-10 +1 that's how i do it. pretty painless |
