Is this a known issue?I, too, was disappointed to see that Frodo doesn't support this with the official XBMC Remote. Not meaning to nag but is there an ETA for a fix? Sometimes my internet drops out and the video stops and if I've got to jump a fair way into the video, it takes freakin' ages with the default 30sec skips to fastforward (esp. if it's 40mins or more)
Cheers

Thanks so much for the info. Something else I might mention: I held off on updating to the newer version of the Remote app for a while because the keyboard takes an extra 2 steps to activate in the newer version...it used to be accessible from the main remote control panel. Is there any chance you could bring it back to the main panel? I'm sure I can't be the only person who uses the keyboard quite a lot for searches etc and would like it brought back.
I also wanted to tell you that I originally bought XBMC Constellation because I thought it must be better if it cost money compared to your free app, plus the app icon was cooler and the GUI looked more fancy at first glance....a typical fickle customer! However, upon actually using both apps I found that your official app is sooooo much better and easier to use. I never use Constellation anymore because I love your app...it's simply much more intuitive. Great work, JoeTheFox!

Hi is there a context menu button
going to the keyboard mode and sending C doesn't work.
maybe have another menu with 8-10 customizable buttons? that way you don't have to squeeze in every request

@Maddcow, thank you for the kind words. About the extra 2 steps to activate the keyboard: check if you have enable "Allow programs on other systems to control XBMC" under System > Settings > Services > Remote Control. If enabled, the keyboard will automatic popup in the app everytime there is a text input request! so now accessing keyboard input should be 0 steps ! \m/
@Quoccus, did you notice the help screen for the remote control view? looking at this screenshot http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1302587 , try to tap and hold that button to activate the context menu. Or if you are in gesture mode, again tap and hold shows the context menu dialog

Wow Thank you so much for the above keyboard tip. That will save me a lot of time for sure!
Loving the app and using for both my Pi and ATV2. I was wondering if it was possible to add a skip forward / back 10 minutes while streaming content. Either by using the next chapter/file buttons or the up down arrows as none of these seem be used while streaming (next file/chapter just ends the current video and errors out as while streaming there typically is no next video file found in the same folder. ) I have found a way to add this tweak to my key maps while using the atv2 and their remote but would to find a way to integrate this into xbmc remote so it works reguardless of the platform I'm using to run XBMC.
Also is there a way I can disable the bottom row of shortcuts in the remote control screen? I find I'm too accustomed to physical buttons and while my eyes are trained on the tv I often misclick too low while running down through list of videos. I'm sure some muscle memory will eventually kick in but until then...
Edit: for anyone having issues with the above keyboard tip, I had to reboot my phone and xbmc for the changes to work. It does work perfectly, no more 2 steps to kb!

@Bronik, hi!
yeah, next version 1.2.3 will have back the skip forward / back: Up/Down 10 mins. and Left/Right 30 sec. skip.
Have you tried the gesture zone instead of the button pad? You can navigate/select/back with just one thumb without looking never at the device. Let me know.

Upon further playing with other remote apps and double checking my key maps I think the issue is just that the arrow keys are disabled when a movie is streaming (even the help image specifies 'in GUI' for the arrows) so while I'm pressing up in the app, the button isn't sending up to my xbmc and thus not sending the request to skip ahead 10 minutes.
Is there a way to keep these arrows active while a video is streaming?
Oh you replied already! I'm looking forward to your next release.
I have played with gesture zone a little, ill use it for the next couple days and see if my gestures trail. When I first looked at it I just looked to see if the shortcuts were still in the bottom and they were. But as you pointed out I could just use light gesture in the center and never hit em by mistake.
Thanks for the tips and the great app!

Is there a release date and tentative change list for the next version?
Also, is something being done about the movie thumb art? It looks somewhat squished to me. It doesn't seem to keep the aspect ratio.

just a maintenance version, some minor glitch solved and two new translations, german and italian.
On my side there aren't issues with the movie thumbnails. Have you a screenshot to show me?

I feel I may be in a minority but seem to be coming up short with my own investigations, but since the last and final release of Frodo, my album art is no longer displaying on this my preferred remote of choice.
Artists are Ok. I've deleted the app on iPad and iPhone both exhibit the same problem, to no avail. What adds to my confusion is both Commander and Constellation apps do not appear to have the same issue.
Any ideas

HI,
I'm trying to store all my TV shows and movies as perfect as i can but i found something enoying in the Remote (the remote is for me the best that we can find in the store even the paid one are not as good as this one !)
Here is the screenshot of my screen
so as you can see the banner isnt the banner but the poster used as banner and its not really pretty
Is there a way to change that ? (even in the project i could rebuilt and install on my dev iphone)
Thanks
Nevermind... immediatly after i click on submit i think about the option in the server settings...
By the way it was at least a post to say thank to the author !

I am having issues getting the app to connect. I can HTTP in to my xbmc and use that remote from both computer and iPhone. iOS App detects the IP address, etc of the XBMC server, and I am putting in the same username & password I used to connect via HTTP, but the thing just sits there with the spinning "hourglass." It did connect for about 2 minutes on initial setup, but then never again once I backed out to the homescreen.
