Hi, was just wondering if Collect3 has any plans to release an app exclusive to the new iPad? Nerd

I sure hope so, it could be incredible.

Did you have any iPad-exclusive features in mind?

The iPad will already run iPhone/iPod Touch apps, so the only difference is a bigger (unnecessarily large/awkward as a remote control) interface.

Hi Coll3ct,

About the caracter encoding problem in pathname ( resulting in no covers for media ) , here is an interesting post from Tolriq about crc hashing of movies with foreigns characters.

This should be the same issue we have with your iphone apps.

I think it would be amazing to be browsing my video library with all the high res fanart and posters and stuff. there could be linking to imdb and everything, possibilities are endless. it doesnt have to play the videos but for browsing for somethign to watch rather than use the harmony remote which i find somewhat finicky at times, or using the ipod touch which i find is just a little too small to be useful.

with the ipod I find I have to stare down at it to use it as a remote which I dont like, but on an ipad, it could really be immersive and you wouldnt have to look at your tv screen until the video started. I find it tough to put my vision of the experience into words but I am definitely excited at the possibilities.

That could be cool. Also have trailers play right on the iPad...

May cost the developers a lot of time/money before they'd make any profit, so doesn't seem like it would happen any time soon. I'd like to be proven wrong though. Innovation is good.

Personally, I'd love to see the "gesture" mode of the XBMC remote work more like the Boxee remote app's gesture mode does. Theirs feels more like a laptop's trackpad and is more "don't have to look at my iPhone" friendly.

I'd definitely use gesture mode!

If we could set it to automatically enter gesture mode for some items and not others (user definable)... e.g. say a user wanted to have gestures for Movies Library but not Music - basically tie the mode to a button on the XBMC Remote menu.

Does anybody have the issue where they click the songs on the XBMC Remote app from your iPhone and that is not the song that gets played by XMBC?

That is what is happening to me and it is quite annoying, any suggestions on how to fix the issue would be a HUGE help.

Is there a certain version of XMBC that XBMC is compatible with?

for the record: it happens with tv shows too. here's what i do > return to the list (exit now playing) ... pick the right item again ... and it starts.

of course having it do that the 1st time 'round would be better Rolleyes

Will we ever get queue single tracks/videos to a playlists and playlist mamagement? It's been over a year since this feature has been requested and it's a crucial missing peice IMO. Wake-on-lan, ipad support meh Sad

Love the app otherwise.

All of my artists have </record><record> after them. Anyone have the same problem? Are they still working on this app at all?

My last post must have been lost in the recent forum crash Wink

The issue that you have reported is a known issue caused by the scripts that many skins now run by default. Try using this in a browser to fix it:
Code:
http://10.1.1.8:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=SetResponseFormat()

Substitute your IP address and port at the beginning.

You can also try finding the "RecentlyAdded.py" file in XBMC\skin\Confluence\scripts (for Windows)

Open the file with Notepad and search for the below code. (I did a search for the word "format" and found the section)

Code:
# format our records start and end
xbmc.executehttpapi( "SetResponseFormat()" )
xbmc.executehttpapi( "SetResponseFormat(OpenRecord,%s)" % ( "<record>", ) )
xbmc.executehttpapi( "SetResponseFormat(CloseRecord,%s)" % ( "</record>", ) )

DELETE the <record> </record> and just leave both lines with "" (nothing in between) and save the file.


As for your other question, no we have not stopped development. We have a very small dev team and we have been working on no less than 4 new apps. That has tied up all of our resources. There have also been substantial changes made to the webserver. We do not want to make any changes to our code until we see how that is going to play out. We don't want to repeat any effort Wink

I had the same problem and this fixed it. Thanks! Laugh

The Wake on Lan feature doesn't seem to work - at least for me. I double checked that the MAC is correct. From another iphone app the WOL worked right after, and also with a PC app.

Hope one of you can help get this this to work.

Somehow I just can't find any host.

XBMC (9.11) is already configurated the as it should:

Share Video and Music Libraries Through UPNP (enabled)
Allow Control of XBMC VIA UPNP (enabled)
Allow Control of XBMC VIA HTTP (enabled)
Port - 8080
Username - XBMC
Pass -
Allow Programs on this System to Control XBMC (enabled)
Allow Programs on other Systems to Control XBMC (enabled)
Announce these services to other systems via Zeroconf (enabled)

Also forwarded port 8080 on my router (just in case)

But still I get an error: no host found.

Also enter manually the right internal IP and login name and password,but still no luck.

Also deleted the app and installed again, and still no connection is possible.

I use XMC live 9.11 installed on my SSD

Hope that someone can give me the tip that will solve this problem.
