I understand this can be the limitations on my Xbox’s power as XBMC is not only limited for Xbox only but also available on Mac and Linux which may have better processor and memory. Worse, when I click on Songs tab and click Shuffle it will make the app and Xbox freeze and if I am lucky it will start playing a few minutes later. Everything feels lagging, like when I choose a song it may take a few seconds before it starts playing. I am going to be super honest here, the performance is not exactly the way that I had hoped for. All the buttons are nicely done, album cover thumbnails are slow to load but this is something that will be updated on the next release. It is definitely inspired by Apple’s Remote app for iTunes. At the end I decided to upgrade my XBMC and it worked. The app FAQ page just did not give enough information of what to do to solve this. On my case after I set everything up, I was having a frustrating time because I could not make the remote work even though it could connect to my XBMC. You also need to turn on Web Server function on your XBMC, details provided here. Just click buy and the app will be downloaded and installed on your iPhone. Like all iPhone app from App Store, installation was a breeze. A IR-receiver is plugged on one of the controller jack and I regularly use my Logitech Harmony remote to control it.Īnother thing, I understand this is a very early release so I am sure with a few more updates this app will be a lot better. My Xbox has just a little over 1,000 songs on its library. I previously used a very old version of XBMC which could not work with this app. I bougth it anyway in the end and hoping it can really work like Apple’s Remote app to control iTunes/AppleTV.Ī little breakdown on my current system: I use the latest XBMC build by T3CH. When hear that XBMC Remote is available on Apple App Store I was so excited and tried to accept the $5 price tag that makes it a middle-priced for an iPhone/iPhone app. Until AppleTV can natively run movies in multi format of course. I still believe it is the best and cheapest digital media system that you can get to this date. * Also check out our other Apps: SNAP! and Animal SNAP! the original 2 Player 3D Card Games, and now Picture Safe & Video Safe: keep your 'private' pictures & videos safe from prying eyes.I love my modded Xbox with XBMC. **** ALSO AVAILABLE: XBMC Streamer: Stream your music from XBMC to your iPhone or iPod Touch !
