Howdy!

Time for another announcement

Xbmcremote 1.1 for Harmattan just hit the Nokia Store! Here's the changelog:

- Added an itemdetails dialog for the curently playing media
- Completeley reworked the keypad (hopefully for good)
- Added a feature to search in lists (pull the list down to get the searchbar)
- Added feature to download media from your Xbmc to your phone (long-tap in the lists)
- And many more UI tunings and bugfixes you reported (thanks for that).

Some words on the keypad:
This is somewhat experimental. I hope you all like it. In my opinion the new keypad is easier to use without looking at the phone. For basic navigation, pull the select-button to the direction you want to move. For fast walking through lists, keep the select-button pressed until it vibrates twice. Keep pressed and move to the direction you want to scroll. The further you move your finger, the faster it scrolls.
There is now also a way to enter text at xbmc using the mobile phones virtual keyboard. Every key you press will be directly submitted. To close the keyboard, press the enter-key. I couldn't find a way yet to replace the enter-key with a "close" button. If someone knows how to do this, let me know.
Please let me know how you get along with it. After using it for an afternoon I thought its better than what I had before and decided to publish it.

That's it,
Happy remote-controlling!

Hi

Thanks for the update. I'm testing it right now and the updates are very appreciated. The new keypad feels weird at first but after using it for a while you get used to it.

This is my favourite app in the n9.

Thanks a lot.

Hi again,

Small bug: You can pull the search widget in the first page of Videos (the one with the Movies, TVShows) and Music (Artists and Albums) but I don't seem to get any results there... maybe that search widget shouldn't appear in those places?

And a small request, when I long tap on Videos or Albums a menu appears with the option to rescan collection, can you also add the option to clean the database? It's handy when I've renamed videos and somehow xbmc hasn't noticed (doesn't happen a lot, but it does). This option is available in the standard web remote.

Thanks!

First off, what a great app. I used it a couple of times to control my OpenELEC install and it is just great.

You should be able to set a text, or icon, using the platformSipAttributes of the TextField. This property holds a SipAttributes element, which has an actionKeyIcon property which should set this icon. You could also set the actionKeyLabel to set a text for the button, which is what I'm using my app.

Hmm cant navigate menus with the new version?

If I click on the left/right/up/down nothing happens not even haptic feedback? (only middle button works)

Last version in store did work.

When browsing music in file mode instead of library mode, the folders' names are replaced by the Album Name of a (the first?) track inside the folder.

Yep, I'll remove it from there. Thanks.

The new API does not support that yet. However, now that I have added support for legacy commands anyways, I think I can add it. Haven't yet checked how the webinterface does it, so no promise so far.
