I'm about to finish adapting to the latest changes in JSON namespace and had a look at the corresponding post to check something - only to discover that there have been more changes yesterday.
Quite fundamental ones too.
Unfortunately this will delay the next update a little more, since i have to go for these changes, too.

All that is working great but now my XBMC Commander doesn't work correctly. I can still single tap to select and double tap to go back but cannot navigate the menus by swiping. I did not change any of the Global Values (I don't think, heres my joystick.AppleRemote.xml for good measure http://pastebin.com/fTeaSzhG). Commander still works great with my HTPC but I'd like its full functionality back in my bedroom. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Swipes still work for the native Apple iPhone remote. as in when I swipe it moves the highlight to the next option...

sorry for the long silence.
As some of you suggested, i've been quite busy on my job for the last months.
This didn't mean that i dropped XBMC Commander though.
Since the current version is running pretty stable and near bugfree, i decided to rip appart the core of the project, and implement a totally different caching mechanism (database driven). For this i adapted a iOS framework called core data, learning how to work with it btw.
Well, after two months of struggling with core data i've got something up and running that is running somehow, but far from stable.
And every problem i fix seems to give birth to two more...
I'm very seriously considering dropping back to the version i forked from about 2 months ago, and start adding features again instead of improving the base.

BTW there is a "bug" in recent nightlies, preventing gestures from working:
Turns out the keycodes i used for up/down/left/right (found them by trial and error) have been fixed in XBMCs codebase.
I'll adapt to this asap.
For now, there's a workaround:
Add the following to your keyboard.xml

Code:

<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<!-- XBMC Commander fix -->
<ampersand>Up</ampersand>
<leftbracket>Down</leftbracket>
<percent>Left</percent>
<quote>Right</quote>
</keyboard>
</global>
<FullscreenVideo>
<keyboard>
<!-- XBMC Commander fix -->
<ampersand>BigStepForward</ampersand>
<leftbracket>BigStepBack</leftbracket>
<percent>StepBack</percent>
<quote>StepForward</quote>
</keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>

(Thanks Vincent for the tip)

So long,
Heiner

(I have only read through the last page of new posts here, so if there's something urgent, feel free to give a note)

grywnn Wrote:Again, more changes in the JSON API.
I'm currently done with adapting to the namespace changes from sept 5th, nearly done with the playlist / player changes from september 18th.

Yesterday the "fields" parameter that is used in almost every function call that retrieves some kind of information from XBMC has been renamed to "properties". Meaning i have to adjust about 80% of my function calls.
This is delaying the update a little more.
Sorry folks.

So: Yes, you'll need to create a keyboard.xml and put the code in there.
