Thank you dev! If nothing else, your responsiveness and communication are well worth paying for this app Smile

Did this update do anything to the performance issues with TV shows?
If it is working ok now, I'll submit the 1.8 version for testing asap.

About TV Shows: much better Scrolling now, thx :-)

Any plans concering the performance in "offline" mode getting Movie/Music and TV show information?
In my opinion your app is having the best remote control mode, it's every time accessible.
Sometimes I have to restart the app getting control back when the phone suspends caused on the Wifi disconnect (I'm aware of this WP7 issue).
Also when I started watching a movie the remote control needs a little bit longer to take control of XBMC (pause/ff/rew, ...).

No big deal :-)

I love this app!

Great, then I'll submit 1.8 for testing.

When WiFi is lost, the app should reconnect when connection is once again established. If this doesn't work correctly, I'll look into it.

Regarding the offline mode, I'll try to improve that even further but that might take a while.
Plans right now is to fix the reported bugs, hopefully everything is fixed on v1.8, and then see if I can get someone to do a translation to German, French, Spanish and Russian.

Scrolling TV is much better, but just to clarify it didn't force banner.jpg's to be used, it just shrunk the posters to a WAY more manageable size Smile

Would still love to see all banners, but a) I can totally deal with this for now and b) I'm not 100% sure it's the remote's issue. Although banners in other remotes work for me and I have a banner.jpg in every TV show root folder...

Video collection (aka Movies) still has the same 'crash' to home screen issue when scrolling collection. Let me know if you need anymore details.

Thanks,

The bug fix for the crash in movies is included in v1.8.
At least I hope it is,I haven't been able to reproduce the error do it's kind of a long shot, but I sure it will solve it, we'll see in a weeks time or whatever it takes for ms to verify the application.

Regarding the banner issues, in the Eden API you can't choose the banner.jpg as image thumbnail, the API serves the thumbnail associated with the current TV show. I haven't done any manual file association in my library, just been using the scrapers data and the result has been a nice banner. Smile

Version 1.8 is now available in marketplace.
Hopefully the crash issue is solved this time.
Please let me know if this solves it or not.

Installed, cleared cache and tested. Still seeing the same crash from video library scrolling.

I paid for this remote also to test and compare:

http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/9...237de2db9e

First, the TV show banner issue seems to be and xbmc config issue, cause I have the same problem with this remote displaying poster thumbs rather than banners.

Second, the video scrolling crash does not happen with this app. I noticed the dev decided to allow the user to choose how many items will be displayed per page. The default is 100 to scroll through before you elect to go to the next page or load more. Not sure if that helps any, but just hoping it might point you in the right direction.

Thanks!

Got some good news, the problem has been found and a fix has been added. (And verified that it works)
Just need to do some more testing for the other new funtions, and then I'll submit the update to MS.
