Hi SixSox,

I am aware of that problem and investigating it. The problem is that this doesn't happen here. I guess it has something to do with the WifiRemote.xml keymap, but I am not sure. I will try to fix this with the next WifiRemote versions.

Edit:
Can you please try to edit your WifiRemote.xml file, line 129 from this
<action layer="0" condition="*" conproperty="-1" command="WINDOW" cmdproperty="115" sound="click.wav" />
to this
<action layer="0" condition="*" conproperty="-1" command="WINDOW" cmdproperty="0" sound="click.wav" />

You should find the file at "Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\defaults\InputDeviceMappings".

It's done and it worked perfectly.
Thanks for the quick reply

I started using this last week and my only issue was answered two posts above

Great app, looking forward to the ipad version!

How is developement coming along? Will there soon be an update as mentioned in the first post? Can't wait to see some new features, great app!

I am working on support for MP-Extended (follow-up project of GMA and TV4Home) but it will still take some time to get that out of the door.
If all goes well I can get a first prototype out to the betatesters to get some feedback on that, but for a finished update I still have to do a lot:

- Manage mp-extended connections
- UI to choose between the different services
- Different presentations of data
- List of Series, Seasons, Episodes
- List of Movies, ...
- Options to play items in MediaPortal ...

I think I will start with browsing content (maybe even limited to series, then update with movies and more?) and starting playback on MediaPortal. Then streaming (thanks to oxan) and after that the iPad layout.

So MPExtended is supposed to do all databank stuff and also the streaming part. But not that stuff wifi remote does, right? Why don't you write a plugin that could replace all three types of plugins in one?

 

[Shukuyen]

WifiRemote will be bundled with MP-Extended but has a slightly different focus (controlling MP directly whereas MP-Extended is a windows service accessing MePo databases). So for some folks it may be enough to only have WifiRemote or only have MP-Extended.

Also WifiRemote is used to keep a socket open for bidirectional communication, MP-Extended is a Webservice type of thing.

Sounds pretty promising to me and as said before, I am curious about the next version. Do you still need beta testers?

Because that doesn't gain us anything. We just end up with the same amount of code, regrouped in one project instead of two. They both have a different focus and goal, which can't share any code. MPExtended exposes the databases (and works outside of MP), while WifiRemote does the navigation in MediaPortal.
