[Windows 8] XBMC Remote

Hi All,

My Windows 8 app was the first in the store, but the only one without a thread. So it's time to start it...

The app is still in development. New features are continually added.

Features:

- Browse the movies, tv shows, music and music video libraries
- Play movies, trailers, tv shows, albums and songs
- Add movies, tv shows, albums, songs and music video to the playlist
- Fullscreen and AppBar remote control
- Different buttons on remote control, depending on the media type
- Directly select the audio track and subtitle
- Send text input to XBMC
- Maintain the XBMC database
- Sorting items on the playlist
- List movies, tv shows and episodes of an actor
- File Explorer
- Wake on LAN
- Poster view for tv shows
- Save fanart as lockscreen

And much more

this is cool - any chance you can add multi select so many episodes can be marked as watched and also so a season folder can be marked as watched?

Thanks for your feedback. I will add an option to mark season folder as watched. Multiple selection for episodes is more tricky. I will check what i can do.

thanks looking forward to the update Smile
this feature will be worth the asking price alone as I can manage the watch list from the PC while xbmc is in use by others. and using the mouse and keyboard is much quicker than the remote

hello I love this remote... but one big problem im having is that my tv show banners dont show up correctly.. is it possibly cause the touchscreen pc im using has a resolution of 1920x1080?? could you possible fix this or tell me what to do to get the proper formatting?.. I have purchased the software already, and this would be my biggest gripe since it looks terrible on my computer that controls the XBMC Client machine.. all the other remote apps work just fine for tv show banners.. even selecting use tv show artwork makes the main tv show in the list show right then all the rest is like zoomed in and the grid is way off..

Any chance of this becoming an xbmc skin? Would complement the app nicely.

Agreed, and a couple are pretty good, but IMO they are just not quite in the same league. This and the Windows 8 boss remote both have professional looking GUIs that trump other skins for usability and graphics.

EDIT: Immersive has just made me eat my words! - v. nice metro skin.

Hi,

Love the app but I have a problem where there is no album info coming across to the app. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app with no luck. If I select any album through music it just goes to the first album (which is $0$). If I organise by album there is nothing, on all of the albums there is just "no information" displayed.

On the home screen where it has a handful of albums, if I click on one of them they open up fine.

I hope you can help as I love the app and paid for it Smile

Cheers,

Nick.
