[APP] XBMC Remote7 - An Xbox Media Center browser and remote for WP7

dstruktiv · Mar 19, 2011

Hi All,

First time posting here, I've been developing an Xbox Media Center remote for Windows Phone 7 as A) It's fun and B) The other available ones are crap.

My app is called XBMC Remote7 and I'm about ready to submit it to the market place, I was wondering if there's anyone around that uses Xbox Media Center and has a WP7 phone (Developer or otherwise unlocked) that would be keen to give my app a go and give me some feedback?

You can browse your media libraries and control Xbox Media Center via a virtual remote.

I have both. are you on gpforums as well?

my device is not developer unlocked so will need to download it from the marketplace.

More pictures (I can't link to external image sites yet

)

And that's all the pics

@powersquad Hey yeah I'm a member on GP. Hopefully this will be on the marketplace within a few weeks

powersquad · Mar 19, 2011

cool. can you please update this thread when it's in the marketplace. I use WMC on 360 a lot and have a samsung focus. will provide feedback every now and then.

There will be a free trial version that limits the amount of media items you can view. Everything will work the same as the full version you just won't get all your movies and music etc. in the lists.

Ok that sounds good, if you post a download link I can write an article on our portal
let me know

dstruktiv · Mar 19, 2011

Here's the free trial version if anyones interested - mediafire.com/?89eda202b9fe9fz

You need Xbox Media Center 10.0 or newer and must have the web interface enabled in the settings menu.

Would love some feed back!

Going to give those a go and I'll report back ... Looks pretty decent from the screen shots though.

Thanks to some awesome feedback from williammel I've been ironing out bugs and tightening the UI.

Will post up a new build soon and really looking to get this on the market place within a few weeks.

Any feedback is appreciated

It's named 'XBMC Media Center'

Uncle_CM · Mar 28, 2011

Looks really nice! Would give it a try, but I have no unlocked device! So I will wait till its in Marketplace!

btw, hope your app will not spy the phone/owner identity like the other remote apps

I'm not able to test the app, but I'm using the XBMC remote for iOS. And I would love to see some kind of listview for the movie library. It takes to long to scroll through pictures and descriptions of every movie, if you have a bigger library.

dstruktiv · Mar 28, 2011

Sure thing good idea

The long list selector makes this less of a problem on WP7 but it can still be an issue on larger libraries.

The first release will essentially look the same as the screenshots in the first post, but I've already started working on extra "skins" that can be changed by the user that completely alter the look and feel. I'll put in a large library/minimalist skin

Since you mentioned it..

I'd like to see a way to switch from Banner/Poster mode in the app. Basically, when you are caching the image, perform some sort of guess based on the LxW of the image, and determine if it's a banner or poster. And then display it accordingly.

The other XBMC app I have made me switch to banners. Now yours is making me switch to posters. It would be an awesome feature to support both.

I have four XBMC devices in this house and a HD7 that is developer unlocked and running nodo update.
