@swalter, try to reboot the iPad or the router due the fact iPad and iPhone execute the same code. Let me know if a reboot solve the issue.

Hi,

please can someone help me.

Don't know what is wrong but I can't get this remote working in my iphone 5.

When I go to to the app and press the no connection and click add host and then find xbmc - it does find my XBMC server which i am running in my Mac mountain lion. Then I click save and it goes back to the servers lists but when i click the found server nothing happens?? what could be wrongHuh?

@heleje, Hi, check username & password. To test if you can connect to XBMC from outside the app, can you try from the iPhone safari to connect to xbmc with the same information used in the app:

http://<username>:<password>@<xbmc_ip>:<xbmc_port>

and see if it connects?

Note: only simple password are at moment supported (e.g. no & or @).

The volume control via computer keyboard and in the android app behaves differently than the iPad app. On my android or using the computer keyboard, changing volume will send CEC commands to my receiver and properly change the volume there. Using the iPad app, however, the volume will either error with an on screen message that pass-thru audio is in use, or, will allow me to lower the volume starting from 100% at the XBMC output.

The iPad app should control volume the same was as the keyboard +/- keys do.

small problem, using the app for the iphone and the virtual keyboard on the app itself not XBMC is not working. It used to work about a week ago and now it just suddenly stopped working...any idea why?


RE: [released] Official XBMC Remote for iOS - joethefox - 2012-10-21

@btorrenga, @gerardz, which version of XBMC are you using?

(2012-06-29, 21:43)RevoCenter Wrote: ok, as probably expected by everyone here, the mistake was on my side. I have never configured any firewall rules in the standard win7 firewall. Still, it appears it was blocking some of XBMCs activities. I now manually allowed everything in- and outgoing from XBMC.exe and finally was able to access the server via the *AWSOME* remote.

One small wish for a future update: when first setting up a server, one can select "prefer posters for tv shows", however, you cannot edit this setting later, only by setting up the server completely new (which only takes a minute I know)

Thanks for all your feedback and suggestions! keep up the good work

What did you specifically do with the rules to get this working? - I even turned off firewall and it still doesnt work...


RE: [released] Official XBMC Remote for iOS - gerardz - 2012-10-22

i had updated to the newest alpha version of xbmc and reverted back to the stable v.11 and it is working again, but does the new app update fix this problem?


RE: [released] Official XBMC Remote for iOS - joethefox - 2012-10-22

version 1.1.8 has been released with this change log:

- support for iPhone 5
- support for XBMC Frodo recent changes

@gerardz, now the remote app, version 1.1.8, should work even with the newest frodo alphas. Let me know if you have still issues.

11.0 Stable, from the pulse eight site.


RE: [released] Official XBMC Remote for iOS - joethefox - 2012-10-22

@btorrenga, what the app does is to send to XBMC the JSON-RPC command Application.SetVolume, there are no more volume controls. If you can, may you try to see if the issue is solved using the latest frodo?


RE: [released] Official XBMC Remote for iOS - ozone38 - 2012-10-23

joethefox,
you told that this won't run on iOs4 because of the use of ARC... but ARC is not limited to iOs 5 but supported by iOs 4 (http://www.learn-cocos2d.com/2011/11/everything-know-about-arc/).
Is there any reason not to build it to support iOs 4 ?
I own an iPhone 3G with iOs 4.2.1 and would like to use it as The ultimate XBMC remote !!!
Thanks for this app




RE: [released] Official XBMC Remote for iOS - joethefox - 2012-10-23

@ozone38, Weak references are not supported in iOS4, it's an iOS5 feature and even if I try to compile for iOS4, the minimum allowed seems 4.3.
