ok, as probably expected by everyone here, the mistake was on my side. I have never configured any firewall rules in the standard win7 firewall. Still, it appears it was blocking some of XBMCs activities. I now manually allowed everything in- and outgoing from XBMC.exe and finally was able to access the server via the *AWSOME* remote.

One small wish for a future update: when first setting up a server, one can select "prefer posters for tv shows", however, you cannot edit this setting later, only by setting up the server completely new (which only takes a minute I know)

Thanks for all your feedback and suggestions! keep up the good work

Try to long press the server row... next release has also a more intuitive arrow to allow server editing

Hi, next release will have the Wake on LAN function, so you will able to turn on your xbmc machine if it support the WOL feature. Regarding launching xbmc app after the machine is up, I think it depends on which operating system is installed xbmc and this type function at the moment isn't covered.

Hi, absolutely love this app, tried out a couple others and it's the best one by far.

I checked through the functionality and a bunch of posts and didn't see this mentioned - how do you refresh the library from the app?

I'm adding shows from over the network to a different drive and I don't want to have to restart xbmc every time I want it to check for new content.

I realize I may be missing something very simple.

Thanks!

Hi, thank you!
Scans the audio and the video sources for new library items is not yet managed with the app, I'm adding it to my TODO list.

You can bring up the context menu by long pressing the menu button when in a library view. That will bring up the context menu so you can initiate a libray update.

Read this before using these builds.

I think displaying the description for the XBMC Server in the box at the top would be more useful than the XBMC version. I have multiple and I'm never sure which the remote is connected to without opening that menu.
