works very nice.

i'll make a new layout for the HID next week.

in ubuntu you just have to pair your device once.
after that you can start the application on your mobile when ever you want to controll xbmc with it.

one of my blue-tooth dongels, which works perfectly with my wii-remote, didn't work with my mobile phone.
it did pairing (and files can be send from the htpc to the phone) but the remote-app didn't work.
the other one works out-of-the-box.

very nice.
thx.

Can someone help me out putting this to work on XBMC Live!

I have the file on my mobile but I put the bluethooth pen on my Revo search for new devices but I don't find anything. I'm guessing I have to type some commands on the console to download, install, enable the BT. Also I wanted to make it permanent so I don't have to pair it each time to turn it on.

Please not that I'm using XBMC live

the tool on the first page should work perfectly with windows, because it is written for windows.

@Grippen
i'm not sure about the live version.
search for bluetooth and linux to get an idea.
at least you probably have to install bluez-utils.
