therage79 Wrote:Morning,
Just want to say...great app, I using it with the dharma build of xbmc and it all works pretty much perfectly...exactly what I was looking for.
1 slight issue I have noticed though, is sometimes when the app is in landscape mode all I can do is load to the remote screen and when I press any of the other buttons/paths e.g. Music, TV etc. it crashes back to the home screen (of the ipad). This will happen everytime until I change the orientation to portrait, which seems to stop it.
I have re-installed app (version 1.8) etc. and the issue remains...any thoughts?
I can't reproduce this.
Pls try updating to 1.9.8, since i change a lot of display related code since 1.8.

I tried searching around but I really couldn't find any info on this.... I know we have the official android remote app that works great on android phones! but since there will be more and more android tablets coming out, as well as many people already using the Nook Color as a tablet. I was wondering if there will be an XBMC Commander android app? or something similar to XBMC commander. I haven't seen or tried the official android app on screens larger then my phone, so I don't know how well it would work.

grywnn Wrote:Unfortunately, it isn't
YouTube only opens when linking to a single clip.
Since i have to link to a search page, it's safari that jumps in...
That's not my choice, but the way iOS behaves.
I'd have to use youtubes api and do the search within the app, then link to the first result or display the results within the app. While this is theoretically possible (thought about it when adding the youtube link), i haven't found it to be worth the effort yet.
bad.
did you also think of integrating other trailer sites (instead of youtube)? Just a thought.
Actually all names in the movie database of XBMC should be correct names which could be found also in the IMDB Trailer database. Then you could be theoretically able to choose a direct link to a trailer and not to a link of a search result!? just a thought as said ...
ok ... does not solve the problem I had but I dislike the solution with the youtube search result. Anyhow your App is briliant work!!!
like it a lot!greetings from Austria

clipper99 Wrote:I seem to be getting "the request timed out" more often and it seems to be related to the new multitasking capability. I usually get the message when going back into the app after being out of it for more than a minute or so. It reconnects by itself pretty quickly though so not too much of a bother.
i get this message quite frequently and it's annoying, because it popsup like a messagebox, so everytime you need to tap it away to get rid of it.
anybody with the same issue and/or knows how to solve?

Yeah myself
Was annoyed by this too, so the next release will silently ignore any timeouts without bugging the user. Available in 1-2 weeks.
@dibsta:
Is your XBMC always running?
If yes: Try restarting xbmc / the server. Could well be that the internal webserver crashed.
Or try to open xbmcs web interface in a browser, see if that works.

Cheers grywnn
I will try that next time i was so pi##ed after reinstalling Xbmc and rescraping it still did not work I reformatted my pc
Cheers dibsta

Been using commander and very impressed. One option I would love is to be able to do a slideshow of photos from commander. Going to files, then pictures I can view some of my photos on the ipad (all photos are on an smb nas drive), but many come up as too large to view.
I've tried running xbmc on the ipad, but as yet it's very difficult to use, slow and regularly crashes. Trying to view photos is almost impossible.
Anyway, I know commander is supposed to be a remote, but it would be nice to have the slideshow, and even possibly as a screen saver so you can sit it on the side playing photos whilst not in use.
Anyway, just an idea.

Hi
I've just bought Commander, to fit my new iPad 2, and it fits well.
Really nice app. Gratz.
There's a little problem with the way you get the picture if xbmc web server is behind apache and mod_proxy.
If I proxy with apache, it doesn't download thumbnails. The query is urlencoded and Apache seems lost. Request end with 404 error:
Code:
GET /vfs/special%3A%2F%2Fmasterprofile%2FThumbnails%2FVideo%2F9%2F9defb067.tbn HTTP/1.1" 404 506 "-" "Commander 1.9.8 (iPad; iPhone OS 4.3; fr_FR)""The requested URL /vfs/special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/9/9defb067.tbn was not found on this server."
If i get the same url trought apache too but without urlencoding, it works, and download the thumb.
So to make short:
Doesn't Work:
Code:
http://mediacenter/vfs/special%3A%2F%2Fmasterprofile%2FThumbnails%2FVideo%2F9%2F9defb067.tbnWorks:
Code:
http://mediacenter/vfs/special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/9/9defb067.tbnBut the urlencoded query direct to xbmc http server works of course:
Works:
Code:
http://mediacenter[b]:8080[/b]/vfs/special%3A%2F%2Fmasterprofile%2FThumbnails%2FVideo%2F9%2F9defb067.tbnAnyway to fix this on next version by not urlencode those query ?
Other apps like XBMC remote control works ok.
Thanks.

...an idea i actually like a lot
But i think i'll wait until xbmc supports server side scaling of images, which will make things a lot easier.
@hotlobster
That's what i call a detailed bug report !
Please try adding [nocanon] to the end of your ProxyPass directive.
This will tell apache to pass the URL path "raw" to the backend
You might want to limit this to vfs urls though, like
Code:
ProxyPass /vfs/ http://server:8080/vfs/ [nocanon]
ProxyPass / http://server:8080/ )Otherwise:
I need to do the urlencoding to handle possible special characters in the profile name.
I'll remove the encoding of "/" and ":" in my code, which should make the paths valid again, and shouldn't have too much impact on profile names.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depends on the point of view) the next update is already in revision, so this "fix" won't make it in there.

This wonderful app, will run with XBMC Dharma 10.1?
