Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

Great that the fix also works for you :)

The search field loosing focus was already reported in a Jolla Harbour comment and will be fixed in the upcoming version also. This is due to the the search field being part of the listview (which makes it move out of view when scrolling the list itself), so I had to move the search field around to fix it. Which means it will be part of the bottom part where a search button is already located, when clicking it the search field will be displayed above the bar.

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

Hi again,

Once again we've finished a new version. Version 1.5.1 is now available in both the Ubuntu store and OpenRepos, and will be available in Jolla Harbour in one of the upcoming days (it's submitted for approval).

There are a few common changes in both the Ubuntu and the Sailfish app. In both apps you're now able to make changes to a host, and there are some new, host specific, settings. All of these new settings are volume related and allow you to use a custom volume stepping, which is the same behavior as the app previously had, although you can now manually configure the step size (default is still 5). But there's now also the option to only send volume up and volume down messages to XBMC. This will for example allow you to change the volume of a CEC enabled AV receiver. And third there is the option to run an external script on the phone itself. This possibility has been available for a longer period of time, but was always hidden in the configuration files, and is now made visible in these host settings.
Furthermore the possibility to edit a host required the rewrite of some of the internals. This should make the host discovery a bit more stable and prevent some issues when you had for example two different XBMC hosts in different networks and both had the same IP address.

The Ubuntu app was also redesigned on top of the latest Ubuntu SDK. The most notable change due to this (as far as I know, because I didn't work on it ;)), is a new popup you can open from a bottom swipe. This contains a new, software controlled, volume bar, next to the already available use of the phones volume rocker. It furthermore contains the options for the currently playing item and the power menu.

On Sailfish' end there's only one bigger change, besides the common changes, which is the power dialog being replaced with a page which is reachable from the main screen using a swipe to the left. Furthermore the previously reported issues have been fixed. These include the search field lowing focus when the result list is updated, and the gesture pad not working when swiping to quickly after touching the pad.
Sadly I didn't find the time yet to implement a software based volume bar (needed for Jolla Harbour), but this is on the top of my list to implement in the next version.

Edit 12-8:
The update has just been accepted to Jolla Harbour, and can thus be updated using the Store app. However the same restrictions as before still apply (no volume control, no haptic feedback, no caller name for incoming call)

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

Is the Maemo 5 version of XBMCRemote compatible with versions of XBMC other than 11.0 as stated in post #1 of this thread? I'm using XBMCBuntu latest non-bleeding-edge release (XBMC 13.2 Aug 17, 2014 build).

I've been using the Harmattan version of XBMCRemote (1.3.0) and it works nicely my setup. (Thanks for this, BTW, very nice.)

So I thought I'd try the N900 version and got ver 1.1 from the Maemo repositories, but when connecting to the box the error I receive is:

Is this a known limitation, or is there a more recent version of Xbmcremote somewhere other than extras or extras-devel?

Thanks.

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

how about this:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=354

Thanks for pointing this out. The N900 version works now and I got the incremental Harmattan N9 update as well.

Is the original poster no longer around to add this to the first post? Or even better to put the latest versions in maemo.org and openrepos repositories?

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

Hi

I've just installed kodimote 2.0.0. and I've noticed a bug in the settings page, there's an option below Pause video in phone call options that seems to be unreachable, even scrolling the settings page upwards.

Thanks for the update!

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

Hi,

Thanks for reporting. It has already been reported by someone else, who also send in a pull request. Will try to release a new version ASAP* (it's just the same options btw, there are no new ones).

* This depends a bit on mzanetti merging it etc, but I'll try to release a new version before the end of the weekend, with or without him

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

Version 2.0.1, with the fix, has just been uploaded to OpenRepos/Warehouse, and is thus available now. I have also uploaded it to Jolla Harbour, were it will hopefully be accepted tomorrow.

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

I copied conf file from xbmcremote when I found out, that I would need to type in IP MAC and password again ;) I am not using Zeroconf or Airplay.

You think it would be good to place a note somewhere in openrepos that xmbcremote can be removed as kodimote is its sucessor and offering the same compatibility with Frodo and Gotham? Maybe along with some guide to move settings?

Just thinking out loud...

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

There will be one last Xbmcremote release, which will include an updated description (in the store) and an updated app with an in app notification to upgrade to Kodimote. But I want to be sure there are no remaining issues before advising all users to update (like the already fixed settings page not being fully visible, and this issue also needs to be fixed, although we both can't reproduce)

I don't know about moving settings (automatically) yet. As it feels a bit dirty to check if the Xbmcremote config file exists and then moving/copying it over. And it aren't that many settings, so the user should be able to enter them again. Unless you have Zeroconf disabled, it that case it would be some more work indeed. Although entering the MAC shouldn't be required anymore. When the MAC isn't known (which also happens on some systems, like OpenELEC) it now queries Kodi (or Xbmc) to get the MAC address.

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

Any chance of getting a Nokia N9 build of Kodimote? :-)

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

And a N900 too? :-)

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

Yes and no. mzanetti and I aren't actively looking into still supporting those (as mzanetti uses Ubuntu Touch, and I use Sailfish). But someone else has recently fixed some (build) issues in the app for the N900. And he also said he wants to fix the N9 app. But it will probably take some time until those versions are back on par with the Ubuntu and Sailfish version. Although some things will work automatically as they're platform independent (like support for browsing addons, and the upcoming version will support browsing playlists, those things should work on all platform without requiring modifications in the platform specific code).

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

Hi

[I've already commented this in the openrepos app page, but in case you haven't read it I'm posting here, sorry for the possible noise.]

I've upgraded to sailfish 1.1.9 pre-release and the videos button in the main screen looks a bit smaller than music or pictures. Other than that I've found it works great.

Thanks,

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

Sorry for the late response. I only briefly read your comment on OpenRepos on my phone at the time.

All buttons are build the same. So my guess would be the "Video" icon in Sailfish changed. As it's a standard icon the app is using. But I'll check if there's anything I can do to fix it when the SDK becomes available (which would be either when 1.1.9 gets released to all users, or might be earlier, as I don't want to update my phone to an "early access" version).

And it's good to hear there's only a (minor) cosmetic issue :) As I was already wondering if everything would still be working in SFOS 2.0 (/1.1.9)

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

Thanks for the answer. I checked the code and saw what you mean, so it seems the stock video icon doesn't have the same size as the others. Other than that I didn't had any issues with the app and SFOS 2.0.

Thanks for your work!

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

where can i find the n900 deb

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

I think the keypad long press to scroll fast is not working anymore. I've just tried it and nothing happens, not even the vibration notification.

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

Just to be sure. You did install the version from OpenRepos? As the version from the Jolla Store doesn't have haptic feedback (/vibrations).

If you did install from OpenRepos, it might be that something goes wrong in starting the vibration, which makes the rest of the code fail.

You might be able to get some information from the normal program output. This can be seen by for example starting Kodimote from the terminal, "/usr/bin/harbour-kodimote". But I can't promise that I will be able to fix anything without having a SFOS 2.0 installation to test.

Re: [Announce] [N900,N950,N9] Xbmcremote
 

v 1.3.1 (the latest I know of) for N900 is found here.

(My confession: for the longest time I thought this version hardly did anything compared to the Harmattan version. :confused: I finally noticed -- accidentally -- that it swiped left and right to reveal more controls, including the virtual keypad.)
