We looked into this today. It appears we can't do a donation-style in-app purchase. It's against appstore policy. The best we can do is make a link to a donation page, which we'll definitely look into.

I am not able to play or queue music files in a folder in Files mode. I am using iPhone 4s. I can connect to XBMC and play/queue all music files in an "Albums". In "Files" mode, I touch a folder for a second then press Play, it goes to "Now Playing" screen and just shows the message "Nothing is playing". At the same time, XBMC pops up a message "Playback failed - One or more items failed to play.". Appreciate if you can suggest what I should do to fix this.
Also, in "Now Playing" screen and "Remote Control", I can't find buttons for "Repeat" and "Shuffle". It will be great if these can be added.

@kkleung7, I'm noticing it too, but it fails only with the play folder action, queue and queue after current seems working correctly. I will try to fix that.
Regarding the buttons "Repeat" and "Shuffle" you can find them in the "now playing" view, tap the thumbnail and some infos and the two buttons should be there:

joethefox,
I am trying "queue" and "queue after current" now, they are working very well. I also find the buttons "Repeat" and "Shuffle".
I have to express my appreciation to you. I have tried several XBMC Remote Control apps on my iPhone. Your one is the best to me. You are not only building this great app, offering it free, but also you are very helpful to everyone. You are really awesome! Thank you very much!

2. That's a great idea!!! I will try to implement exactly your idea.
3. Naa, no high motives. No one asked me anything when I've downloaded XBMC! and the remote is just an appendice to it. Donating to XBMC foundation is a best choice from my point of view http://xbmc.org/contribute/donate . However I want to talk with the team about your idea for an in-app purchase to donate to the foundation. Talking about me, maybe in the future I will do an app that has nothing to do with XBMC and then purchasing that app could be a thanks to me.

Now I have no idea what the appstore policy is, so I will trust you guys. In the meantime I will check the XBMC site to make a donation there!(2012-10-04, 21:28)xmhd Wrote: 3.

RE: [released] Official XBMC Remote for iOS - pick - 2012-10-08
Thanks for this really great app. It has replaced the own I was using before.
I really appreciate the "Wake on Lan" option.
I have configured XBMC to start with windows 7, however it does not always start in Full Screen mode. Because as I use the computer not only for XBMC, sometimes I just minimize it (using "\" in the keyboard) instead of leaving XBMC (it is quicker). Next time the computer will start, XBMC will not be in Full Screen mode.
So would it be possible to add in the remote the same functionality than the "\" of the keyboard ? For example in the start menu?
RE: [released] Official XBMC Remote for iOS - joethefox - 2012-10-08
@ALL, thank you!
@publicENEMY, what files are you looking for within the app?
@pick, I have to look if there is a json-rpc way to send a specific key. If yes, maybe in the future a customizable button could be then a solution.
RE: [released] Official XBMC Remote for iOS - forgoz - 2012-10-09
Is there any way to customize the highlighted buttons in the below picture
As I am using Movies, Video Songs, 3D Movies, Songs (Others are not used)
RE: [released] Official XBMC Remote for iOS - joethefox - 2012-10-09
@forgoz, the screenshot seems missed. Anyway at the moment there's yet no way to customize those buttons.
RE: [released] Official XBMC Remote for iOS - forgoz - 2012-10-10

RE: [released] Official XBMC Remote for iOS - Cuprani - 2012-10-10
I have a problem with the XBMC remote using the Wake On LAN option.
I have XBMC running on W7 PC, and the remote on my iPad.
When my PC is in sleep mode (hibernate mode), the Wake On LAN command from the iPad wakes my computer as it should,
but the very next time my PC goes into sleep mode I can not bring it back alive again.
Not with XBMC remote, and also not with my mouse or keyboard. The only option to get my computer running again is to completely power off the system (with the switch at the back of the power supplier) for ten seconds, and then restart. It took me a lot of time to figure out what the problem was.. I first thought my motherboard was broke, bus it actually only happens every time my computer has received a wake up call from the XBMC remote on my iPad.
Any comments or solutions are welcome! I really want to solve this problem, as my TV is not in the area where my PC is, it is very annoying and time taking when I have to manually restart my computer every time I wan't to listen to music or watch a movie.

@joethefox , love the app, but I just got a new iPhone 5(to go along with my other two iPads) do we have any sort of time frame when the iPhone 5 screen version of the app will be available? Thanks again for the great work on this wonderful app.
