I think that this is the development thread for it if you want to follow along.

Thank you! This is amazing!

Can you link this app? I don't see any functionality in the XBMC Remote app I have. I'm just using Airplay to do it.

You find it through the share menu in the YouTube-app.
Personally I think Yatse is much better than the official XBMC remote app.

I don't think SuperRepo has been mentioned in this thread? It's essentially a really big repo with a clever category system.

Here's a quote from their own introduction:

quote:

SuperRepo is one giant repository plus several subrepositories for XBMC addons and skins. Unlike many other meta-repositories, SuperRepo is capable of processing the included addons. This makes it possible to categorize addons, fix dependencies and patch the addons on the fly. The outcome is one giant�SuperRepo!

What's the best keyboard/remote solution at this point?

I got a mini bluetooth kb, but it would randomly start bugging out like a key was being held down, so I went back to a regular keyboard/mouse. I was looking at remotes, but I'd like something a lot simpler (at least for the moment) then the logitech harmonies.

The Mele F10 is the best remote I've ever had.

Wow, that looks really cool. But the buttons on the remote side look to be largely useless.

They look useless, but they are not. A friend of mine made a small program called MeleProxy which makes it perfect for XBMC:
https://github.com/ErikLove/MeleProxy/

The air mouse functionality in the Mele is VERY impressive, like a Wii remote based only on accelerometers, but mainly useless for XBMC, so MeleProxy disables it.

There keyboard is disabled when flipped like a remote and vice versa, så you don't risk messing up when operating the remote/keyboard.

I have a Harmony 885, but the Mele is so much better and responsive that I never use the Harmony for XBMC anymore.

I'm trying to transition from Plex so apologizes if these are really dumb questions.

1) Is there a way to see what movies the scraper missed so I can rename them?
2) Is there an easy way to edit part of the metadata scraped, like plot, inside the program? I know you can edit the artwork by pressing I
3) Is there a way to use IMDB or Criticker ratings instead of whatever it uses by default?
4) Is there a way to back all this stuff up when I'm finished so I don't have to do it again in case of hard drive failure?

1) http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-on:Missing_Movie_Scanner
2) I'm not sure, but I guess you can create a nfo-file in the folder and add the plot yourself? Not sure if this will be overridden by the scraper.
3) I think Universal Move Scraper can use IMDBs ratings.
4) Yes, all settings are in the userdata-folder, so back up that one. You can also use XBMC Backup to do the job for you: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add-on:XBMC_Backup

Offliberty.com is a pretty effortless way to get stuff off YouTube. Works for some other sites too from memory.

If you don't want to go through a website, you can't go wrong with youtube-dl.

You can with the stock confluence skin and some file editing, but it's not super simple.

Yes it is, it can be done right from the skin's settings.

edit: Anybody know of a way to pin playlists to the home screen using Confluence? This could be done in Hybrid, but Hybrid doesn't have a version for the latest releases of Kodi (ugh).

I occasionally use Limelight on my Fire TV and a wireless 360 controller. It works okay for some things, not for others. The video lag means that anything super twitchy is out, so I wouldn't suggest Counter-Strike on it. Playing New Super Mario Bros through Dolphin works pretty great, though.

What the hell is this magic I'm reading about? This is very intriguing!
I tried googling, but as primarliy a console/Linux guy I can't quite grasp this.
What would I need in order to do the fantastic things you take for granted?

Yeah thats to use the limelight setup which is android based. Steam streaming does it without any level of special hardware/OS but its not something you can easily dump into android. torjus check out if steamOS can somehow do it on your machine as it's linux based?

Thanks. Yes, I will surely look into this.
I'm very interested in the Dolphin emulator, since I recently retired the old Wii, but that would limit me to a Windows machine with a NVIDIA-card, right?
