Team XBMC has updated XBMC Remote for Android to v0.7.0–further improving on an already superb remote control. Most notable of the changes is the addition of the TV show library which was missing in prior releases.
Changelog for v0.7.0:
- Added: TV show library support. Browse by show, season and episode. Details view for shows and episodes.
- Added: Remote texture support for HTC Tattoo
- Added: Basic integration for XBMC’s shiny new JSON-RPC interface. Looking good but still a lot missing. Deactivated by default.
- Added: Default cover for “Now playing”
- Added: In file mode, added support for playing FLAC and m4a.
- Fixed: Rewrote cover download code. Images are now resized smoothely and a recent XBMC build will download 10x faster. Also, it doesn’t start downloading thumbs that are still scrolling.
- Fixed: Batch cover download should now be faster, eat less memory and crash less. Also you can abort the process and restart it.
- Fixed: Crash when closing screen while covers were still downloading
- Fixed: Crash on calls from people without image
- Fixed: “Hide artists who only appear on compilations” was broken due to change of XBMC’s preference setting
- Fixed: Remote control GFX was messed for Nexus one
- Fixed: Moved WOL port and timeout setting to the host preferences
- Fixed: List view brushup
- Fixed: Dpad events were too sensitively treated
- Fixed: Query issue with old XBMC versions <Camelot (thanks Steve)
- Fixed: Long press issues
- Fixed: Some NPEs
- Fixed: There were still medium sized thumbs showing up instead of small
The application still won’t be available in the Android Market until hits version 1.0. Until then, you can download the latest version from Google Code. Check out the screenshots of the TV show library in the gallery below.
