I'm trying to figure out how to run the project from eclipse right now (is that possible?), and reading like crazy on APIs and all sorts of exotic things...
I'd love to contribute, whether now or later. It will be excellent prepping for my own android app.

I could start helping by providing translation (french)

Not sure how freezy did it but I just installed subclipse and imported via svn plugin. Then it should work (given that you have successfully installed android SDK).

Translation is always good aswell!

Hey guys,

Video library will probably come one day but for now it's going to be mainly about using your phone as a remote control. Which makes most sense for music since for video you'll have to turn on your telly anyway.

About the IDE you'll obviously have to install eclipse with the ADT plugin plus the SDK. Then you import new project and point to the dir from svn. Subclipse is optional.

Before everyone comes up with translation suggestions, I'd say better wait until we actually have multi language support. Smile

Freezy.

Hm, I just installed .15 and now it force closes as soon as I press "Remote"... Worked fine with .13
I have a G1 with cyanogenmod btw

Hi Topfs2,
i've installed the software successfully, but i'm not able to configure it.
Can you explain to me the connection steps? I've inserted ip address of my XBMC server, but it don't start!

Thanks

Regards

will do.
i'll keep poking around the code to try and understand how it all works.
just let me know when you're ready for a translation Smile

@mitsus: if you've enabled xbmc's webserver that should be it...

btw I've updated to cyanogenmod 4.0.4 but my problem persists... Could it be that it's because I run my webserver on a nonstandard port and enter xbmc's IP using IPTongueort notatation? (I know that this part of the remote uses eventclient, but maybe it takes the value of the textfield and appends a :EventserverPort, which would make it IPTongueort:Eventserverport in my case => borkage. I didn't take a look at the source though, so this is just wild speculation Tongue)

@mots: Thx for your answer. Now it work. I use: IP:WebServerPort:EventServerPort.

But "Remote"...don't work for me. And you?

Best Regards

I'm having the same issue, running cyanogenmod 4.0.4 but the remote button gives me a force close, otherwise loving it.


- topfs2 - 2009-09-02

Port is only setable for webserver the event server is hardcoded at 9777. So ip:port:port will for sure bork the program as its not standard uri. Plan os to have a better server setup with ports and logincredentials

Cheers,
Tobias

Hey, not to sounds pushy, but any update on this? I love the app running 1.4 to use, but I need the remote for the Hero Thanks Smile


- mots - 2009-09-03

Sorry, but I never meant to say I used IPTongueortTongueort, i just thought that the program might read the IP from my input and then append a port. As my input already is IPTongueort, this would result in IPTongueortTongueort, which is, as you already stated not standard uri and might result in the Remote crashing...

This might be utter nonsense, but as I said, I haven't even taken a look at the programs source...
