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?

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
/usr/share/applications/xbmcremote_harmattan_interface.desktop

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.

Thanks a lot
EDIT: Btw. nice to know someone is actually using the NFC feature. I really thought I did that one for nothing

Glad you liked it
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

Thanks for the info.
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.
