Windows Phone 7 XBMC Remote

Kevcampbell, thanks for feedback, I am looking exactly for these kind of suggestions as you need somebody to bounce ideas with.

Lewisc, congratulations on your new toy. I am hoping to have the app out early next week but it could take 1 to 2 weeks for certification so it will probably be 2 weeks before you can get it.

Guys, how many movies/albums do you have in your collection? Right now I have roughly 200 movies and 100 albums and I dynamically fetch the collection and perf is very good. I am debating if I want to add support for incremental fetch. Suggestions?

I look forward to it being available in the marketplace then. I have close to 400 movies in XBMC.

Nice.. I actually ended up adding support for requesting movies in batches. I was debating about this for launch but I thought there would be people with movies and music libarary which may be hard to manage all in once. I add suport for user configurable setting and then incremental fetch. Hope you all will like it.

The app is submitted for testing. Hopefully be avaialbe in few days..

This looks AWESOME.

I just decided to get the HD7 yesterday. This will be the first app I buy (assuming it is in the marketplace on the 8th when it arrives)

That's funny, I just started on working on a remote for WP7 yesterday. I guess I should have checked here first. So far mine is pretty similar with a few differences. Just a few questions if you don't mind answering.

1. How much are you going to charge?
2. Are you using the json-rpc api or the httpapi? Probably a silly question since the httpapi is set to be deprecated. If your using the json-rpc, how did you get the banners for the tv shows? I am only seeing the fanart and the poster images.
3. Would you mind sharing where I can find information on implementing the jump list? Just nice to know no matter what project your working on.

I do love developing in Silverlight. I've only worked on it for about two days and I have so much done already.

Thanks

Thanks man. I hope it gets approved soon. I am having some hard time passing certification because of difificult testing setup for them.

Nice. Glad to see you are having fun with silverlight and WP7 development.
Regarding cost, I will probably have a free trial version and may be a $2.99. I am interested in hearing if this seems reasonable and will probably update based on the feedback. The trial version I am limited to 100 medias in first release.
I am using JSON-RPC and HTTPAPI for remote keys (as there is no support from JSON RPC yet).

For jumplist, there are few examples on the web but I have heard it might be available soon via toolkit.

Hello All,

The app is published to marketplace and ready to try out on you new windows phone.
The deep link (you need Zune software) -http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=pho...237de2db9e

In addition, searching XBMC from your windows phone marketplace should let you find it..

Thanks to everybody for the motivation and support. Feel free to try it out and let me know what you think...I am 100% sure you will like the performance. It has demo mode to let you play without connecting to your XBMC.

Ugh no offense but movie/tv show browsing is unusable and it crashes frequently. The lists need some serious work (Extremely slow and choppy to scroll) You need to test it on a real phone as the performance on the emulator does not give a proper indication of what it will be like on the phone.
