XBMC Commander - Yet another unofficial third-party XBMC remote for iPad - grywnn - 2010-09-13 14:38
If you've got problems getting everything working, check out the troubleshooting page.
It's really annoying to get low ratings on iTunes because some users firewall blocked the event servers port...
=> XBMC v11.0 "Eden" full supported! <=
In fact, some features ONLY work with eden, like playlist reordering ore resume functionality.
Works great with XBMC v10 "Dharma"
Older versions of XBMC are NOT supported.
XBMC Commander features a nice and clean user interface that concentrates on your media and is really easy to navigate.
Features:
- Remote control XBMC using simple gestures
- Browse your movie / tv show / music database
- Start playback / enqueue any items on your XBMC machine
- Support for multiple XBMC installations
- Filter by Genre / recently added
- Support for tv show posters and banners
- Choose your favorite of multiple different layouts
- Playlist support
- File browser
Since v2.0 got released, i've switched from http api (since it will be deprecated soon) to the event server (faster) for remote control commands.
This requires "allow control by other systems" to be activated on XBMC in system->network.
If you are still having problems, check that Port 9777 (thats the event servers port; you can't change this one) isn't blocked by your firewall.
So, everyone with remote control problems, check these.
Now available in the iTunes Store!
...but the development is still going on...
We all love Screenshots, so here we go:
Movie Library, with applied filter, with details opened (flip animation, buttons are play and enqueue)
![[Image: screens-movie.png]](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9983136/screens-movie.png)
Tv shows, seasons opened for "dexter" (animates), details for season (you guessed it... flip animates)
![[Image: screens-tv.png]](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9983136/screens-tv.png)
Music library at artist level, albums for one artist, backside of an album (click starts playback)

"Remote control", uses gestures on the first screen, additional controls on the second.

very nice, any chance for beta testing :-) I have Ultimote, HD Remote and xbmc remote HD
I would be happy to try it and give feedback.
Running Dharma beta 1 with XBMC live

As soon as the app reaches beta status i'll gladly accept any testers
But its a little early right now.
I cant even test the app on my own iPad since my developer enrollment with apple isn't approved yet.

No problem, looking forward to see some updates :-)

Ohh nice!
Looks very nice, and would love to swap the remotes I have for my iPad for this..
Some features that would be nice to see:
"Remote" function so you can control XBMC thru menus (some times you need to go in to settings, and getting up for the keyboard is too much work!
)Once playing, have some Video control functions (Pause, stop, skip etc)
Ability to filter by Watched (would make finding movies easier to find I haven't seen
)And ability to create a play lists maybe?
Also, I have a Jailbroken iPad so should be able to install the app without having to go via the Store (if you want some more testing) Ill of course buy the app once its done

Please add me to list to beta test! I have Ipad ready to go!
