Best iPhone xbmc remote control app

krade Wrote:The great thing about this app is that you can create custom remote profiles. It comes with one built for XBMC (and supports many others). I built a custom one that included all the controls I needed so I can navigate through my skin (using aeon nox) plus support play/pause/etc all on one screen.

Any chance of uploading your profile somewhere? I love the fact that these can be shared with Hippo Remote, but don't like configuring my own.

You first install a small vnc app (very little memory) on your machine running xbmc (supports MAC, Windows, Linux Ubuntu). The app iteself for the iphone/itouch/etc. can be purchased from the apple store for a nominal fee.

This one is working great for me and it is easy to use.

Does this support the library functions of xbmc? From the video on their website it seems to me like this just offers remote control functions. The great advantage of the xbmc remote from collect3 to me is that you don't have to turn on your television to access your media. However I have the feeling the collect3 remote will not be updated any time soon if ever.

I'm using Constellation. It's free and works very fine.

I've tried practically all of the free remotes and at least 4 paid ones... When it was all said and done, I removed all the apps except "Constellation" (which I use on my iPad1 (64GB Wifi), iPhone 4 (CDMA), and iPod Touch (4th Gen) and XBMC Commander (on my iPad ONLY because it keeps a local copy of the cache so I can show friends/family a current list when not connected... I do not use it for control or anything else).

So... My recommendation would be for Constellation by FSS.cc (but please note, I'm currently a beta tester for them and provide a lot of their tech support on this forum, so my opinion may appear bias, but it's just because I love the app so much)

I love constellation free too, and planning to buy pro version...
