New features for Official XBMC Remote (Android)...

Hey guys, I hacked my nook color last night and installed the remote and it's just awesome! I would however like to throw in my +1 for keyboard support

In the interim however I've found PRemoteDroid in the market and it works great so as much as I would like the keyboard to be integrated, switching apps isn't the worst thing in the world!

Anyway thanks for the great app!

Hi guys,

thanks for your work on this remote control. I think this could turn out to be the best remote there is, however on my Desire I am still using the Android Boxee/XBMC remote for two reasons:

1) the software keyboard (pops up after longish pressing menu-button) actually works in, for example, the search input box of Youtube,
2) navigation with my (optical) track ball.

Add this and I would be really happy. Just steal it from Boxee/XBMC remote if you have to ;-).

Besides, I think there is a bug. When I don't check the box 'Send single keypress' in the options, occasionally the remote 'goes wild' i.e. it keeps sending direction keys. To the left I believe, but I cannot be more specific I'm afraid...

Keep up the good work & best regards,
Paul.

For everyone wanting keyboard support - I've done some work on it. My take on the solution is an edit box on the phone where you enter the text you want, then send the whole string to xbmc.

Hello, in addtion to keyboard support i would like to mention subtilte handling with 2 buttons : 'Next Subtitle' and 'Show/No Show Subtitle'.

Or just one subtitle button that will cycle through the subtitles, including "None".

Hi,
first of all thank you guys for developing such a wonderful app. Apart from some minor glitches it works really great on my samsung galaxy S.

To my suggestion: I was wondering if it might be possible to find a way to stream the audio of whatever is playing on my pc to my phone as soon as I plug in headphones. I would love to see this feature to avoid using my bluetooth headphones.

Keep up the good work,
Schubi

Hi all,

I use the Android remote all the time as I have multiple XBMC clients in the home and this way I always have a remote in my pocket (Sony Xperia X10i). The thing that is missing in my opinion is a button for the context menu ('C' key). I keep finding myself having to plug in a keyboard to access functions (Queuing, 'Play from here', 'Edit source', etc...)
+1 for keyboard support too, would really be the icing on the cake.

Keep up the good work guys

What an old thread

You can try Yatse that have full keyboard and keymap mode integrated. And also for your need a direct Context menu in remote
