Remote Control for XBMC (unofficial iPad/iPhone remote)

Hi scl23enn4m3, currently my app doesn't support the most recent nightly builds. I'm currently working on an update which will also include preliminary support for Frodo nightly builds. You can either downgrade XBMC to the latest stable version (Eden) or you can become a beta tester to get early access to new features.

A few weeks ago I released a minor update (1.5.1) bringing button tap-and-hold repeat functionality for navigation controls as well as the volume decrease and increase buttons. With that I was also preparing new seek functionality which will be available soon with a new version (1.6.0) that I submitted to Apple over the weekend and is awaiting approval.

The full list of changes for the upcoming version:

- Fast-forward and rewind by tap-and-holding |<< and >>| buttons.
- Progress control is now a slider which can be dragged to seek.
- Added suspend and reboot options to power button.
- Very preliminary support for Frodo nightly builds.
- Improved volume slider graphics.
- Fix starting a song, album or artist shuffled or unshuffled with Eden.
- Internal network robustness improvements.

I was on a short weekend break, but in the meantime, XBMC Remote Control for iPad version 1.6.0 has been approved and is now available on the App Store.

Thanks Gert for this app, I dont need the Popcorn hour a400 now, haha

I just submitted a version 1.7.0 to the app store which will have additional eye-candy when browsing your music and TV shows (see updated screenshots in the first post). The full change list for the upcoming version:

- Show TV show banners or posters in list of TV shows.
- Show latest album art in list of artists.
- Changed label "Hostname" to "Host" in settings (because IP address is a valid value too).
- Fix issue when playing an airplay stream.
- Fix issue with music in latest Frodo builds.

I will update this post when the version is available.

XBMC Remote Control for iPad version 1.7.0 has been approved and is now available on the App Store.

hey thanks, it looks great

Version 1.8.0 is now available on the App Store. This release renames the application to "Remote Control for XBMC" and has many internal improvements using the latest iOS features (requiring iOS 5 as of this version), preparing for iPhone/iPod touch support.

Yep, you read that correctly: support for iPhone and iPod touch devices is coming! But before that's finished, this release pushes some improvements made in the process so far and fixes compatibility with the upcoming XBMC Frodo (12.0) release.

Here's full list of changes for this release:

- Support XBMC 12.0 Frodo release.
- Add clean library support (for XBMC Eden and up).
- Add placeholder texts to in-appliaction settings text fields (hinting that either IP or hostname can be filled out).
- Add clear button to in-application settings.
- Fix repeating buttons that could repeat indefinitely on application exit while repeating.
- Fix rewind and fast-forward wrapping to normal speed.
- User interface tweaks and improvements.
- Requires iOS 5.x.
