XBMC support? Feature request?

[CrArC]

Hi there,

Are there any plans to include XBMC support in a future release? Using an Antec Fusion case at the moment but I can't get the VFD or the remote control to work properly with XBMC. A nice preconfigured template for the remote control under XBMC would be a great start, the software is very cumbersome to program.

Ideally it would work as well as EventGhost does, where you press a button on the remote, then drag what appears in the event window onto the desired XBMC command in the macro window. Really, really quick and easy to program! I really want to use the SoundGraph software with my MCE remote as I have a plasma TV and while the IR reciever built in to the Fusion case works, the MCE USB reciever I'm having to use (because I can't use the flipping Soundgraph Software) doesn't work well with plasmas at all.

Could we get the ball rolling on this? There are many, many people out there who use XBMC.

Dear CrArc,

If XBMC supports keyboards shortcuts, you can control XBMC with the remote after adding XBMC to Program Command in iMON Manager>Settings>Program Command and adding functions with keyboard shortcuts and the remote buttons.

In next update you will update iMON setting file (imo file).
If possible, we’ll add XBMC to iMON setting file.

Hi Johnny, thanks for the reply.

Does this mean support is coming for XBMC? Specifically in terms of prebuilt configurations for it, in th same way you currently support iTunes, iMedian etc? XBMC has a very, very large userbase and a lot of forum discussion has gone into trying to get your devices to work with XBMC. I read a thread on this forum around June that said you've put XBMC on your to-do list, have you made any progress?

Specifically it would be great to play a file in XBMC and have its information appear on the VFD, along with the progress bars etc.

Dear CrArC,

In next update, XBMC will be added to “Scan Installed Program”.
If you reset the remote setting, you could control XBMC with the remote without any further setting.
And in order to display XBMC information, XBMC should support the feature that sends media information to the external. XBMC doesn’t seem to have this kind of feature.
