Works perfectly to control mythTV over the network from my phone. Excellent!

Q70%

Works as described with mythtv v0.27.

Easy to set up and works great on mythbuntu 14. New skin would be awesome though, like make it look like a real remote with black background. The white is distracting in a dark room. Great job!

Once you use this you won't need it.12/7/16 Sad that the latest update has removed what had become a familiar UI. Although I know where the buttons are, I keep catching myself checking to make sure I have the right key. At least bring back the old colors! Pretty please. 15/7/16 Thanks for the old theme back again!!!

I liked the old colourful buttons, the new ones with tiny monochrome symbols are harder to identify at a glance. By all means add new designs and let us choose, but please don't force new designs on us when we've gotten used to how it looked. Update: The ability to change theme has corrected this nicely, the Legacy - Dark theme is excellent, back to five stars!

Legacy buttons are back

Thanks for the great remote!

The new design is just terrible to use since all the buttons look identical without carefully studying the screen.

They updated the look of the interface. Not very intuitive to use - despite the fact buttons are in the same spots, I can't remember what some of the buttons do. They are also way too small for my eyes. Dropped my rating from a five to a three.

Yup.

An excellent addition to any MythTV setup.

I'd give it give 5 stars if it had a widget. Awesome remote though.

I've replaced my phone 3 times, my MythTV a couple of times and this app still works.

Great app for when the remote's not within easy reach.

Great app

I've used this app on many phones over the years (and many versions of MythTV). It's always been stable and it's super easy to use. 6.5 stars!

Forget regular remotes. The kids lose them anyway. I usually have my phone when I watch TV so this is great. I did have a small issue but worked through it fairly easy. There was a box in the Myth frontend general setup that was not checked on my frontend that allows network control. I checked it and connected fine after that.

K70%
by K####:

Only just got it working but seems to work great. Few notes: 1. It will be much easier if the frontend you want to control has a fixed IP. 2. Make sure you check "Enable Network Remote Control Interface" in the frontend General settings. 3. I have a Mythbuntu combined backend/frontend. I had to change the backend IP to the actual IP address of the system instead of the default 127.0.0.1 4. The Mythbuntu Control Center has a check box to enable Android & iOS remotes. There is currently a bug where this doesn't do anything. It doesn't seem to affect anything though.

Easy to configure. Enable the remote network control on the front-end and it works... Simple

Maybe not pretty, but works well and has proven very useful. Simple GUI design is actually very effective.

Works better than my IR remote, though not always as easy to just grab and use. If I had one request it would be some customisable bindings like an IR remote.

T70%
by T####:

Although the interface is not *quite* as sexy as the Apple remote I've been using, it is more feature complete and it doesn't break every time there's a kernel update (curse you LIRC!!!!), so this is totally awesome! Even better, it saved me having to buy a bluetooth adapter in order to pair my android phone to my htpc as a keyboard. The only thing that could make this better would be a customizable 'favorites' tab that would let me choose only which buttons I needed. I don't use many buttons and it's slightly annoying to have to switch between 'navigation' and 'media' tabs for the handful of buttons I actually use (basically just arrow keys, select, volue, and rw/ff). Still less annoying than LIRC!!!

Looks good and works fine. One super minor complaint : Buttons do not show adequate visible feedback when pressed.

K70%
by K####:

This is a great app and works well with v0.24 but there is an issue with v0.25. There are some hotfixs if you use MythTV on only one pc.

Love this app, and the current version fixed up the small tab problem with a swipe solution. Prefect, thanks!

Needs a tab to allow me to edit the commercial breaks etc on the recorded shows for 5 stars. Other than that, great

Works well on Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Love this apparently so much and gets a lot of use.

this use to work but sadly it has stoped working as of mythtv .25. hope someday it will work again.

Needs IPv6 though.

T70%

Says connection refused but the port is open. Needs to be fixed. When it did work it was awesome.

A must have if you use MythTV.
