Thinking about getting the app, but have a question. The gesture control, does it allow for scrolling movies/music in the same fashion as the iPod by “drawing” a circle forward/backward with your thumb? And if so is it speed sensitive as well, i.e. the faster I “circle” the faster the seeking/scrolling of the movie/music?

I had an old Xbox with xbmc, using it together with the analogue thumb-control to scroll through files was brilliant. I am looking for an app that has this behaviour, emulated at least.

Cheers,

Yes, Plex 8 or XBMC could use tuxbox protocol to connect to the dreambox, port is normally 80, and username password is your dreambox user and pass. We have successfully tried on dreambox 500 and 7000 with Enigma2 system. But as Plex Nine changes its media library, XBMC 10 would be a better choice for one stop dreambox/media center solution.

You should add a source under Video using the above tuxbox settings, and it would then appear as a sub folder under video. When you go into it, your satellite user bouquets wil be listed, and enjoy watching now.

Am I doing things correctly or did you forget to tell us something? Did you test this on both Enigma1 and Enigma2 boxes? I have the original DM7000 which is an Enigma1 box. If you only support Enigma2 then please add Enigma1 also. It has the needed interface to remote control it and there are apps that do it. I just want a remote app that can both control my Boxee and my Dreambox without switching app

Thanks for your suggestion! The auto mute/pause option is very useful, and will be added to PlayMote in future upgrades.

Enjoy the remote fun!

Can you also put in a setting for “auto mute if phone rings” option on/off?

My phone rang and I couldn’t mute/pause because the playmote interface was overridden by the incoming call.

Thanks for your suggestion! It is now in the feature list for future upgrade.

Stay tuned!

If possible can you add some background customisation? I’d like just a black with a xbmc logo in the middle for starters but being able to set my own background/s OSK colours and brightness would be nice.

First of all, make sure that the “Enable Web Server” of XBMC is turned on, which is located in Networking Settings – Servers of XBMC. And there you can also set the port number and password. Leave password to blank would be a better choice, and you can change it after everything runs fine.

From your post, it seems that the XBMC is located behind some firewall/switch and port-forwarding is configured to transmit the data. If that’s the case, please make sure PlayMote is configured to SWITCH_IP:SWITCH_PORT, and the port-forwarding on the switch/firewall transports all data from SWITCH_IP:SWITCH_PORT to XBMC_IP:XBMC_PORT. Check if the above forwarding rule conflicts with any existing forwarding rules utilizing similar ports. In some cases, connection to the wrong target get rejected result. And make sure there’s no access rules to affect the port-forwarding on the switch, like hour access control or IP restriction or keyword filter. Otherwise, you might connect to the port successfully because port on the switch is opened, but get rejected later when data is transmitted due to some access rules applied.

Finally, try to connect with standard web browser to “http://XBMC_IP:PORT” to see if display anything. Normally you will see XBMC graphics interface there.

Hope it helps.

Cant seem to get this working with XBMC on Windows 7. I know I have the right IP and port number (I have forwarded the needed port to my computer). When trying to connect to this IP using a web-browser, all I get is an empty page with only the following word:
“rejected”.
I’ve got it working with other remote apps, but this one seems to be nasty for some reason. I just tried with a VNC app which I allowed to connect through the same port, and that went fine, meaning that the firewalls are not blocking any traffic on this port.

If you could give me some advice on how to solve this, It’d be very much appreciated.

Thanks
