If they don't, the app can't connect to xbmcs eventserver.
- check if "allow control by other systems" is activated in system->network
- check that port 9777 on the xbmc machine isn't blocked by a firewall

Quote:I mean if I tap the screen while playing a video, it pauses/unpauses the video. But I really have difficulties to pop up the OSD.
And when I manage to have the OSD on screen, if I slide to the right (to reach the audio settings for example), the selected item moves to the right but with an unconstant speed, so it's difficult to reach the button I want.

Quote:If I understand well, the keyboard can be used to map shortcuts through an .xml file.
For example, the "T" letter is supposed to be used to switch the subtitles language but it doesn't work for me. None of the letters seem to be active through the emulated-keyboard.

grywnn Wrote:A short "tap" on the remote sends a "return" to XBMC, which might toggle pause (depends on keymap.xml)
A long "tap" - like putting your finger on the ipad for one sec. - sends a "c" and an "o", which should open either the context menu or the osd.

grywnn Wrote:To emulate a single arrow keypress, make a short fast flicking gesture. Its just like on the keyboard: The moment your finger touches the ipad a keypress is emulated, when you lift your finger, the key is released. Doing slow movements is useful when scrolling through long lists, fast movements when selecting buttons.

grywnn Wrote:For reasons unknown, XBMC only reacts to capital letters when using the virtual keyboard. Please try a "T" instead of a "t".

Quote:OK, I'll try this. It opens the context menu or the OSD depending on the localisation in XBMC, am I right ? In a menu it shall open the context menu, while playing a move it shall open the OSD ?

Quote:That's what I was expecting but my point is that while I was lifting slowly my finger the button list was scrolling slowly and then the scrolling speed increased in an unexpected way

Quote:One last point : can we consider that - besides the problems I mentionned above - that gesture work, so those problems are not linked to an issue in connecting eventserver. Do you agree ?

Quote:Do you have an idea why the lateral buttons (OSD, Subtitles, ...) on the remote screen are not working ?

Quote:Last remark, could you consider, for a future release to add in the remote screen a button to change the audio language (just like for subtitles). I suppose I could do that through a keyboard shortcut (+ editing the .xml) but my children won't be able to use this.

grywnn Wrote:It's like pressing and holding a key on the keyboard: You first get one initial keystroke, then nothing happens for a short time, then the key repeats like hell. Don't know if theres a way to influence the repeat rate.

grywnn Wrote:These actually still go through the old webserver api.
No Idea why this shouldn't be working on your setup.
Can you browse your libraries with the app?

grywnn Wrote:You can do this yourself, hit the tools icon at the bottom of the list on the remote screen.

rolapinou Wrote:Understood. The problem is that it scrolls so fast that I can't reach precisely the button I was aiming at ...

I can browse my audio and video library (both movies and TV Shows) perfectly. That's why I'm that frustrated as your app is - to me - so close to perfection !!!

I can add a audio-language button by myself ? Waow that's perfect. I suppose I'll have to edit the keymap.xml file as explained here : http://xbmc-commander.com/page2/page8/page8.html ?

grywnn Wrote:That's the one.
while you're having a look at keymap.xml, check if the mappings to the other commands in the list are correct.
Since everything else is working, the only explanation i have left is that your keymap.xml is screwed up somehow.
So please compare the keys that are defined in the app for each list entry with the command thats defined in the <keyboard> section of keymap.xml.
Cause thats really all the app does: Send a keyboard event to xbmc via http api.
