XBMC Constellation For iPad/iPhone by FSS.cc (unofficial remote)

Hello! Love the app! But none of the posters, banners etc, show up on my iPhone, I can see the media but they're just blank rectangles. Do I need to buy it for them to show up?

Yes - '#' in the password

That's why, special characters in the password stop thumbs from being displayed, change your password to anything without special characters and it should be all good!

Probably as I said 2 pages back... No you don't need to buy it for them to show up, but the app is well worth the price! Oh and as Dawid said it should be fixed when v2.2 is available from the app store

Ah! I did a search but didn't find the right post. My problem was that I never specified a password. Thank you!

Any idea when 2.2 is due to show up? Does Apple even let devs know? Curious to see if it fixes a couple lingering issues I've been having with Thumbnails and FTR channel icons not showing.

hi great app am torn between it and commander.

I have a issue though, i have two xmbc setups one where the media is stored and this works no problem but on the other system where it gets media from the first system, all images wont show up in constellation, it can see the files but no images are displayed.

the same setup works fine with commander.

any idea what to do?

From what I hear from multiple developers, Apple isn't normally forward with that process, sure they have a more personal experience with some, but normally it's 'submit your app' > 'wait awhile' > then either it shows up in the AppStore or you get a call/email saying no with a slim possibility of why not. I think most people say it's an average of 2 weeks.

This is explained under the 'image/password' issue. You MUST have a username/password set up and you MUST NOT allow them to contain special characters (#$%^&*, etc.)
A lot of our users have mutliple XBMC systems like that (I have 3 systems total all pulling media from the same system) and I can get images in Constellation from all of them.

Some how I cant seem to delete a radio station I was trying to add. Its in the book mark and seems like there is no way to delete once it is added. Is it a bug or just me? I manage to get everything working except for this part.

Swipe it left and the delete button will show up...

Confirmed : removing the '#' from the password solved the thumbs problem. Still though, that's quite an annoying limitation.
Question : is there a plan to make Constellation a sort of streaming UPNP player. I mean - add the ability to play XBMC videos on the IPad itself straight from Constellation (like it is possible for youtube videos) ?

This has also been address not long ago and FSS already makes another application that does this. "Plex Constellation" does everything you're asking for, however you have to be running Plex Server on your HTPC. Skim over the last couple pages and look for other posts that I have done and you'll find at least one describing more of the Plex related stuff.
