XBMC remote control for Android
Although this app is a little obsolete, It works great with XBMC4Xbox.
If you use it or need any help to understand it, mail me. xbmc.remote@gmail.com
A remote control for the best media center : XBMC.
Using your wifi connexion, you can control XBMC and browse your library.
2.0.1 : bug fixes (Display button is back on remote)
2.0 : New GUI - thanks Ron
Thumbnails, image browsing
PS: Send an e-mail if you have any problem.
Does not work on my Galaxy Note 3.
Controls don't work on tablet
Using galaxy s6. I'm using a custom ROM, so I don't expect it to be supported, but have not been able to get it to open l
Good up. For every few click, it start repeating the last click endlessly
Plex seems to be the best out there. Xbmc fails me too often. Plex is everywhere.
Works great on my Xbox and makes watching movies more enjoyable. HIT THE MENU BUTTON ON YOUR PHONE FOR QUICK ACCESS TO NOW PLAYING!
Droid X2. Arrow keys don't work. Sticking with official.
Crashed on the first time I ran it. First impressions aren't good. Galaxy s2 user.
connecting error on all varieties of settings and please check configuration (galaxy epic)
This never works I can use any other remote but this one if ur running anything later then 10 don't use
Keeps force closing with Froyo on my legend :( used to work great... love the app please fix!
I installed but no connection to raspbmc. Official one is better
I had to use Kodi remote. Both settings are the same, yet this one doesn't function!
Doesn't even work I set all settings the way it says and nothing happens
While other apps work fine
Motorola ATRIX. Connects just fine and controls are decent, but I found only a few bugs that kinda turn me off. Remote buttons need to be recoded.
Used to work fine in Dharma, used it all the time, my favorite. Now in Eden the direction keys don't work anymore. Will be five stars if fixed.
Doesnt work on a samsung intercept 2.1
Very good app. I now use this instead of the official app as the other failed to work. Maybe it was 2.2 froyo that screwed it, but this works sweet.
Doesn't work for me at all
Excellent app! Much better than the official remote. Is it possible to add a feature in the app to create a shutdown timer?
Needs big screen support. Landscape mode for remote. An option to add to playlist without long pressing. I hope this app keeps improving.
Works better then the official xbmc app.
Running XBMC on a Raspberry Pi. In the remote, all the direction keys don't work, making it impossible to navigate menus. When playing videos, no information (other than the name) is shown. The app would not tell me whether the connection had been successful, which is a problem when it doesn't connect. Sadly, while this app seems to be capable of providing more functionality than the official XBMC remote, it doesn't work as expected, therefore I had to uninstall it again.
Simply doesn't work where other remote control works
Pros: thumbnails, server selection from the home screen, its free... Cons: force closes during every use on my gs2 with all 3 of my win7 HTPCs, terrible UI and home screen setup
Great app. Being able to tweet now playing would be cool :-)
Complains It can't connect when it obviously is connected too.
Very good, but I don't understand why it requires "read phone state and identity" permission
Works great, plus no unnecessary permissions. Thank you.
Was wishful that this would at least be as good as the official remote but the directional buttons don't work on my xperia ray. I'll reinstall if you get it fixed
PROS: It queues things fine, has some important functions in remote, works well with original Xbox XBMC and probably runs HTTP: API, easy to setup. CONS: The downside is it doesn't have thumbnails (at least in JB 4.2), has very few functions other than Play, Stop, Pause, Next, Prev etc in the remote. It does not seem to have a landscape feature for the remote view although all the other views have one and it probably doesn't recognize RCON: API. The app seems to be abandoned by the dev.
It just plain doesnt work. Steer clear!!
This one works, except when you play video that can be resumed, then app freezes :(
Doesn't appear to be maintained anymore. Go Official.
Zero feedback when buttons don't work, really annoying to the point of irritance - this is supposed to ease the experience, but only adds frustration.
Official one is sexier, more powerful, overall better. Scrolling files is nice, library disappointing. As a Remote it is better.
Cretins recommended using xbmc on pc years ago,it was awful then and I was hoping by now on tablets they might have something working on tablets.they don't,this installs an leaves you with a black screen,the app doesn't even detect your devices!a horrible joke at your expense!unfortunately media centres are still another 5-10 years off it seems :(
A side effect of using the out of date API, that makes it ineffective with modern versions of XBMC (e.g. on PCs), makes it perfect for use on original old XBoxes running XBMC4XBox.
