joethefox: have you thought about having your own internal database of the movies on the xbmc library on the app itself and sync from time to time or manually? this way the timeout or the wait you experience everytime you go to movies would become much quicker? just look for updates from time to time maybe when the software starts in the background?

He is trying to avoid that. This is a remote and not full blown XBMC. It may come down to caching, but then like you mention, you have to then figure out when to update that cache. I know this is not something JoetheFox has wanted to do with this app.

Thank for app.
Is there a way or will there be a way to play media on iPad?
Most of my media are in M4V and compatible with iPad so there would be no need for transcoding and such, just feeding them from XBMC to iPad would be enough.

I've recorded some numbers to test the movies list.
XBMC with 721 movies running on MBP 2010 core i5. Wireless N connection.
iPhone 4s 721 Movies = 2.844 sec.
iPad2 721 Movies = 2.734 sec.
so definitively should not be normal that users with 600+ movies after 30 seconds do not get yet anything.

no, tested only the default db. At the moment after the timeout (30 seconds) everything is cleared (app thinks that xbmc has gone ...). Increasing the timeout to 240 seconds should help you. It's a beginning... further investigations are needed.
