hello all
massive fan of the android xbmc remote but sometimes after a while playing media, it is as if the server or the remote goes to sleep or something happens because after i have left it a while and go to use the remote, whether it is just to use the remote to go through my media library or actually use it as a remote to fast forward or pause something, after leaving the remote untouched for a while when i go to press the remote, the outcome is different sometimes
sometimes i have a long wait, like 5 seconds sometimes for the key press to reach xbmc
other times, the xbmc will mess up xbmc, what happens is i go to do something like pause or fast foward, and it sends xbmc crazy and it goes back and forth with being paused and resumed or will fast forward so fast it reaches the end of the media and once that happens it will go back to my media library and it will still be going crazy, what will be happening is it will just be flicking through my media library as if i had my finger hold down on the right arrow key on my keyboard and not letting go
so what i have to do is go to task manager and end the process of xbmc
i was hoping it would have been fixed when i recently updated xbmc remote on android market, but guess not, and it has happened with multiple different versions of xbmc, so i have no idea what it is, but i hope someone does and i hope this gets fixed because it is extremely irritating when them things happen
these events are of course unexpected by the way, sometimes i use the remote and its good, but more than half the time the remote and xbmc does not get on too well and sometimes i just have to go back to using keyboard, not happy
some information is below, i hope someone can reply after writing all this
windows 7 x64
xbmc dharma beta 3 (but the issue has happened with all 3 betas and the last final xbmc, can not remember the name)
using an lg gt540 phone, running android 1.6, i can not update to anything above 1.6 at the moment because there is no available update from lg yet
xbmc android remote is up to date
