Anyway, since i'm still struggling wether i myself prefer osd or contextmenu on long press, how about this solution:
- Long press toggles osd when a video is running
- Context menu when not.

Allways thought the menu shortcut brings me back to the menu. Well i just wanted to pointout that it doesn't work like written on the chalkboard. Nothing happens when doing a long touch.

Is there any chance you could include the choice of YouTube streams when sending the clip to Xbmc?

@Paul: Youtube stream resolutions - yeah, shouldn't be too hard. Noted.

I've looked into this a little, and i'm not entirely sure wether youtube quality selection through xbmc commander is really necessary:
- When i send a youtube link to XBMC, the youtube addon automatically selects the best video quality available
- You can set a max quality in the addons settings, so if your internet connection is to slow to handle 1080p, you can limit youtube to sd.
This should be enough imo?

What are the chances of getting tv streaming to the app itself?

Hi Grywnn,

I asked for this a few months back and you said it would be easy to implement... ;-)


is it possible to change the spacing between the "Play", "Enqueue", and "Play Album" buttons on the music tab? (when choosing songs from a CD)

I use this to create playlists and it is brilliant, but it's very easy to tap the adjacent button when you've had a few beers! ....which then bypasses the 50 tracks you painstakingly ordered into a party playlist...

Also, the ability to drag tracks on the playlist into a different order would be extremely cool.....

I use this app constantly, and it is utterly brilliant!

Thanks!

Look at your RC from your television. Does it have a screen? Remote Streaming? Anything? Well, if not, remember, this is a RC!

Is it possible to use the proximity sensor on the Iphone to shut down the Iphone screen ?
IE when the app is in use, place the phone face down to save battery life, when you pick it up again, the Iphone screen comes back to life.

I have a similar remote control app (Ipeng) for my Squeezeboxes which does this and it works nicely.

Not a big issue, just a little enhancement.

Thanks, that's good enough for me, works perfectly.
