Yes, I found it a bit more tricky to implement, so I didn't include music in the first version. But it will be there!

This doesn't work with MySQL database

No, unfortunately it only works with SQLite 3 for now. But, may I ask how you use a MySQL database?

Good to know, I also use mysql.

It's a remote database shared by multiple xbmc machines.

Hi MrAndersson,

XBMC use SQLite DB as default, but in current SVN (Now Dharma branch), you can use a MySQL database, by modifying your advancedsettings.xml. This allows you to use a centralized DB for multiple XBMC boxes, and other nice features (Follow-me, Sync of watched flags, etc…. It works quite nicely, and I didn't think of that before jumping on your app Would be nice, to get support for it, but hey I'm a dreamer…

I tested your app on a standalone test box, and it's really nice. One thing I miss (well two), is a Context Menu button, and an info one. Customizable interface ala XBMC Iphone remote would be nice. Cheers, and keep up the good work.

Hi, I have some issues with it,
1: when you click on IMDB I will always get page not found.
My naming is always xxxxx (2009)
2: Using the cursor (basic) if the screen is dim on my TV, it will not waking up and the screen will stay dim. I will still be able to browse using the cursor.
3: Like Solaris stated, the Info Button and maybe something like "now Playing" which would bring the movie playing with the info and the cursor from the Basic Feature

Nevertheless, very good first release !!!!

Alright! Didn't know you could share a database, sounds cool. I will look into this and perhaps add support for it!
And for the context and info buttons, the reason I left those out is the behavior of the xbmc server. It just stops responding when a context menu or dialog appears, so I couldn't close the menu or navigate within it. I read about it and found it to be a known bug, or is this something I've completely missed?

Cheers

1: Do you use IMDb as scraper, if not which one do you use?
2: Yes, I'm aware of this, will fix it as soon as possible.
3: You mean like a new tab with that kind of info?

Cheers, and thanks for the feedback!
