I use XbMC remote, the first link you provided, got it for 99 cents on the app store. and I love it, it works very well, and have had only 1 problem, my movie thumbs don't show in the main list, but if i start playing the movie then they show up on the screen... I see theres a new version uploaded, when i get home I'll check again.

Ill have to check, I believe it may, but i don't have any photos currently shared to the XBMC....I'll add some tonight when iget home and let you know.

edit : I think it only does movies tvshows and music, judging by the screenshots on the authors page. But I already have all my photos on my touch anyway Wink

Xmote is not very useful. No selection of TV Shows etc, it literally is just a remote.

XBMC Remote allows you to select music, tv shows, movies, etc with poster art.

Neither are great but XBMC Remote is the better option.

Supposingly XBMC remote has a update pending Apple's approval that fixes a bunch of stuff and makes everything all around smoother, we shall see...

Thanks for this great app. One quick question: I have a mac mini and a ATV both with XBMC installed. Can I use this remote for both devices?

Yes, you can specify multiple XBMC's in the config and switch between them

hmm

I still can't get movie thumbs to show on the app. I have my directory set (on vista) to c:\users\Evan\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\

and it still won't load them. If i play a movie, then the thumb loads for the "now playing" section, but not in the list. TV thumbs show up just fine, so I'm wondering if it's not something else? I've done a clean re-install of XBMC 8.10, just realeased. Anyone have any ideas?

Not a huge deal to me, but still would like it to work 100%. Great APP!

I cant get the movie thumbs to work on my computer either and i'm using the same as the guy above me vista.... 64bit but i dont think it matters and the new version of the xbmc remote app, i have over 250 movies though but my tv shows are fine.... Sad when i click the movie list i dont get images or movie names :/ does anyone else at least get names?

I am running vista x64, I get the movie names, genre's, and a few other details, but thats it, just no pictures. TV shows work fine, as does the rest of the remote, just no movie thumbs in the list. If i start a movie, the thumb shows then, but not in list mode.

I know its not my path, at least I think so, because the tv shows pull images fine. If I remove the path, then the tv shows dissapear too.

If it matters AT ALL, I have XBMC installed to E:\Program Files(x86)\XBMC

I downloaded it and it works pretty good, just a few lock ups every now and then, but nothing major. Im using xp sp3, and it shows all my cover art that i have scanned into the library.
