You could also just take the directory name from the end of the path, in case of directories. I mean, in file mode, what's the use of assigning an album name to a directory when there's already library mode to do that?

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.

For music clean:
The method called is
http://ip:8080/jsonrpc?SendRemoteKey
with the following parameters:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "AudioLibrary.Clean", "id": 1}
and here's the response:
{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"OK"}

For video clean:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.Clean", "id": 1}
Response:
{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":"OK"}

Hope this helps

Cracking, thanks

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!

And unfortunately that won't change for Xbmc Eden. If Xbmc does not add it, there's nothing I can do. I won't add recursive behavior to xbmcremote as that is even more fail prone than if xbmc itself would do it. If you really want to keep using Xbmc in files mode instead of the intended way (the library mode), you will have to get used to this issue.
