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

hi there!
I've just updated XBMC from git (few hours ago), but xbmc-remote still tells me, that I should upgrade XBMC to version, newer tha 23.09

Any ideas?

Btw:

Code:

curl localhost:8080/jsonrpc -d '{ "id" : 18, "jsonrpc" : "2.0", "method" : "Application.GetProperties", "params" : {"properties" : [ "version" ] } }'

{"id":18,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"version":{"major":11,"minor":0,"revision":"b97d3177823a969cb7b0eb91125d8b19a15e1017","tag":"alpha"}}}

and:

Code:

I have the latest nightley from the ppa and xbmcremote complains that my installed version is too old. Is there a way to just ignore or skip the version checking?

Thanks a lot! Can't wait for it to get pushed to the repository so I can try it.

Edit: The version of xbmc I have installed is 2.11.0-git20111103-0ubuntu1-ppa1-natty and is from the LP-PPA-team-xbmc-unstable/natty PPA.

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

Hey ya all!

The MeeGo coding competition voting is running now! Don't forget to vote for Xbmcremote :)

Also, I'm wondering how many of you are using Xbmcremote on the N9. I guess the N900 users are still a lot more.

Thre reason I'm asking is that I'm currently working on NFC integration. You can stick NFC tags to your various Xbmc boxes and then only hold the N9 towards such a tag and Xbmcremote will automatically connect to the associated Xbmc. Anyone has other ideas for features for Xbmcremote?

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

The official xbmc remote app for Android is fantastic. There are some features it has that would be great to have on my N9 and a few that would just be nice.
1) thumbnails/album covers when scrolling through the list of movies/shows/music/etc.
2) the ability to quick scroll by dragging my finger down on the right side of the list (like the N9 contacts app)
3) A more fully featured "remote." Forward, back, up down, etc. Everything required to navigate on screen. (like the official app)
4) Keep the thumbnail in the "now playing" screen the correct aspect ratio.
5) the ability to select what shows up on the home screen or set a default selection, I don't have any pictures or music so I'd prefer it if the app when straight to the videos.
6) The official android app had a feature that integrated into the sharing api. If I clicked any Youtube links in the browser or from an email or whatever, I got asked if I wanted to play it on xbmc. This was a great feature that I used all the time. Is there any chance of getting this on the N9?

Keep up the good work!

The current xbmc API is too limited to make this happen right now. Currently I support already everything that the API supports.

Cheers, thanks.

The andorid app's remote looks like this: https://g1.gstatic.com/android/marke...ote/ss-480-1-5

As far as I can see, the remote on the N9 has up, down, left, right, select, back and menu. I believe you have almost all of the same button actions as the Android app, but they're just spread out across Xbmcremote's UI. For example, on the now playing screen, there are pause, play, forward and reverse buttons. Why not add these to the remote screen as well?

As for sharing youtube links with xbmc, is there a way to tap into the sharing api on the N9? When I'm at a website, I can click the menu button then click "share this link." On my own device, the available options are facebook, text message and email. Would it be possible to add an option to share with xbmcremote, which would then parse the link, grab the unique video identifier, and pass it along to the YouTube XBMC addon?

Thanks so much for listening to my suggestions!

Howdy,

I have just pushed version 0.7 to the servers. It features:

* Itemdetails
* image thumbnails
* a scrollbar (on N9/N950)
* NFC support (on N9)

Have fun!

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

First I have to say: nice work. This is one thing I had been missing for some time. Since Marcel got a new build with PVR which also meets requirements of xbmcremote I was able to test.

Two things came up so far:
1. When using last.fm, Last.fm will only provide 3 songs in lineup. I noticed that on screen 2 (the one with play controls and cover) the progress bar starts to move off screen into the 3rd screen. I was thinking this might be due to the updated songlist from last.fm which provides new song lengths, resulting in like "new actual playtime of song 1" divided by "old overall playtime of song 1" being greater 100%?

2. It usually won't show cover art. sometimes it doesn't update current played song at all (both screen 2). Need to check if there is any situation to replicate this.

btw: running 0.6.1

For the N900 it should be there by now. That one usually takes a few hours.

For Harmattan it needs to pass a manual QA check by Nokia which usually takes between 3 and 8 working days.

Unfortunately that won't happen for two reasons:

- XBMC has received a new remote control interface with version 11.0 which is used by Xbmcremote. As the old interface is deprecated and totally different I won't port Xbmcremote to that one.

- Diablo does not suport QML as there is only Qt 4.6 on it.

Which repository are you using?

- Fremantle-devel has 0.8
- Fremantle-testing has 0.7
- Nokia Store has still 0.7 but QA review for 0.8 is pending.

I can't find 0.6.1 anywhere any longer.

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

Hi! I got xbmc remote to work, but watching movies is not very convenient with N9 when there is no stop/play/pause/menu etc. keys on the remote screen. Only arrow keys and couple others.

In fact I didn't find any way to pause or stop the movie with xbmcremote. Now playing screen seems to be about music.

Could you add those important keys to make this remote to be as useful as android remote.

Anyway thank you for the good work!

Yes, it sucks that apps from store are not updated with the regular system updates. AFAIK Nokia is aware of the issue, so theres hope for improvement there.

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

All buttons in one remote screen is much better when watching movies. Like in official android XBMC remote.
http://code.google.com/p/android-xbm...e/wiki/Gallery

It seems android remote uses HTTP API for remote buttons. I made xbmc remote software for N9 using HTTP commands and it works great. Have you considered using HTTP for remote buttons? JSON API seems to only have those 6 buttons which makes it quite useless for that purpose.

This is currently not supported by the Xbmc API. I'll add it as soon the API is extended.

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

Thank you very much for this nice program!
For a long time I was not able to use it because I am an old-fashioned person who always navigates in the filesystem and therefore never created a library in xbmc.

But without having this the xbmc-remote shows no files also, the directories are empty :(

I just wanted to suggest that you mention this in the first post that other people can solve this problem too.

Thanks again!

Try a long-tap on "Videos" or "Music". You can also browse your files without creating a library. However, by not using xbmc's library you miss a lot of nice features.

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

Howdy,

It is time to get prepared for XBMC Eden. Because of this I gave Xbmcremote some finishing touches and make a 0.9 release. Highlights in this release are:

* Made Xbmcremote translatable
* Improved the connection dialog
* Added setting to keep the display lit (only on Harmattan)

The plan with 0.9 is to find all the bugs left and add a lot of translations so Xbmcremote 1.0 can be released along with XBMC 11.0.

So, if you like Xbmcremote and know a language other than the ones listed in the original post of this thread reasonably well, this is your chance to contribute to Xbmcremote! Send me an email if you want to add a Translation and I will provide you with the neccessary files.

Cheers,
Michael

Hmm, I speak the already listed languages only... so I won't be of any help.

I don't know if I ever need the "display lit" option as a running display usually drains lots of energy. Is there any reason why you didn't implement it on Maemo? It should be possible. I use Tickstill for cocking eggs and so. It has this option to enable, maybe its source would help?

For the N900 there are already a lot of tools to control the Display backlight without having to leave the current app (e.g. as a menu option when you click on the system tray). For the N9 there are no such plugins. Thats why I added the option there.

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

Hello and thank you for this excellent application!

I really like the NFC feature, however I only got it to work when Xbmcremote was already running. I wanted the application to launch when reading an xbmc: tag and automatically connect to the specified server. I solved it by creating another .desktop file telling the system what to do with xbmc: URI's and writing my own NFC tag of the type URI instead of text.

And now it works the way I want!

This will open the application for any xbmc: URI but it won't make it connect to the specified server. I only use one XBMC server and the application automatically connects to it, so for me it's not a problem.

Just thought I'd let you know :)

Too bad Eden beta1 crashed systematically on my Atom/ION HTPC. I'm skipping beta2 because I remember the 40 minutes it took to make a backup of the Dharma library before pludging for the upgrade. And I'm glad I did, I had to rollback to Dharma that same day.

Meanwhile, I can't test, but do you need a Portuguese localization? I've sent a PM.

Awesome! I'll add this to the desktop file and see how to get the complete uri to connect to the correct one.

I found the information I needed here:
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/...50ZW50YWN0aW9u
When started this way, apparently the URI will be given as a parameter.

The feature would be even more awesome if there was a way of bypassing the confirmation screen that appears. Now you still have to press a button on the screen before launch.

I have no idea if it's possible though :)
