Android Wear

I recommend adding Android Wear support, after realizing Yatse does, I bought it immediately! Good Luck!

Looking promising but still lots of bugs. For example the obvious bug is when you click on the remote button (which is on the upper screen) doesn't do anything except "connecting" and may crush after a while.

when the app search for my kodi it doesn't find it although with yatse it does.

Hope to see bug fixes and many more features in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] javelinanddart:
Sweet!

Much improved from the old Official XBMC Remote app.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] fivefour:
I can see this giving Yatse a run if we could get streaming integrated. Very cool that you made it open source.
[Android Apps and Games] KreAch3R:
It is just the start in terms of functions and bugs, but it is beautiful! Long time paid Yatse user and if you continue this way I will have to re-think which app I am going to use. :)
[Android Apps and Games] WarCow:
It works great, good job :) Also much better looking than the old official XBMC one.

I've tried Yatse also, but I just needed an app which had remote control and not all the other stuff, like libraries and streaming etc. And this seems to fit quite well :)

Hopefully you keep it light-weight and simple.
[Android Apps and Games] prontomister:
KillerApp :)

Woah, dude, this is awesome. Very nice piece of software.

Finally my xmbc device is useful again :D
[Android Apps and Games] patt2k:
Just wondering would it be possible to bring Phone notifications with this remote? I use Kodi on Fire TV one thing I would love to see if notifications from my phone like texts etc.. would be awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] HueMann:
VERY NICE!! :good::good:

Suggestion :

Is it possible to add a "volume slider" just above, below or to the side of the remote buttons for a smoother and faster volume adjustment?

Great job!!

Subscribed to this thread. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] zanix:
Looking good. Library loads quickly and scrolls smoothly.

The only bug I see is that some TV series do not show episodes under the season. Going to the episodes tab shows the seasons but clicking the season does nothing but toggle the little arrow. Forcing a refresh seems to allow you to see the episodes. Other series do not have this issue.

I am a long time Yatse user here and its nice to see another nicely designed XBMC/Kodi remote app.
[Android Apps and Games] Syncd:
Agree, though i need to get a moto 360 first, and i still haven't been able to justify that buy to myself.

Does it crash? Can you send the report to Google so that i can access the stack trace and check it.

Seems like it didn't connect to your kodi. Do you have a firewall and might it be preventing it from connecting. BTW, automatically finding kodi/xbmc is done through zeroconf, which can be tricky. Try hitting the "search again" button several times.

Thanks.

Yeah, i want to keep it simple and easy to use.

I'm not very keen on messing with notifications or, for instance, pausing videos when a call comes, because that requires some permissions which can be hard to justify (access notifications, access phone calls. On a remote app? why?). Yeah, i know, there are justifications and this is open-source and all, but i'm still not convinced (for now, i may change my mind).

Will consider it, though i'm not sure how to make it look good. I really need help from a designer...

Possibly the library syncing hadn't finished yet. After you add a media center, the syncing starts, and it can take a while. If you go to Movies/TV Shows/Music while it is syncing you'll get partial results, and seeing all the TV Shows, but not the episodes is a symptom of that. By the way, if you did a refresh while the other sync was running, you might get duplicate episodes... If thats the case just do another refresh.
[Android Apps and Games] nirmitlamed:
now it didn't crush but still the connecting text. it only happens when genesis let me choose from a list, otherwise it works. How can i send you the report and get the report file?

about the automatic finding, i don't know what to tell you, everything in kodi settings is ok, i don't have firewall, yatse find my ip, but in kore i need to enter it manually.
[Android Apps and Games] noonecanhide:
really great on the nexus 6. i love the app, just a lot better than the official xbmc remote - maybe you should if kodi wants your app as official one ;)

one little thing: there should be a possibility to abort the download of a movie to the smartphone, this will take a long time now :D

coffee: bought ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Syncd:
I meant the standard report that Android generates and asks you to send to Google when there's a crash. If there's no crash there's no report.

When you go to the media center list (tap on the media center name on the side screen) does it appear green or yellow? Could you try removing it and adding it back again. It's odd that it was able to communicate with your kodi during setup, but not when on the remote (it's calling the same functions on kodi).

One other thing you could try is setting the tcp por to something odd, like 1001 (9090 is the default). This will "disable" tcp and force it to communicate through http, which might work.

You're right about the download. The download is managed through the default Android download manager, but maybe there's a way to tell it to allow cancels. I'll look into it.

Thanks for the coffee :)
[Android Apps and Games] nirmitlamed:
The colour is green. i don't have problem controlling kodi. If i would need to guess why this happening only with genesis i think this is probably because it is trying to "call" the remote player. since there isn't any media playing and i only have list to choose, it says connecting because it is waiting for some media to play. For example if i play media that is locally on my computer the screen change to the remote automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] ikslawlok:
I would like to translate your awesome application, in French.

If you are interested, tell me.﻿

OK I found https://github.com/SyncedSynapse/Kore/blob/master/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml﻿

[Android Apps and Games] Syncd:
What do you mean by "genesis"? What's that?

If nothing is playing it should display "Connected to [your media center name]", and show the remote. The "Connecting" message is supposed to be shown only temporarily, and change to "connected" or "couldn't connect". That's what i'm finding odd.

Merci beaucoup. I'm going to set up a project on crowdin to help the translations.
[Android Apps and Games] nirmitlamed:
Genesis addon/video plugin is one of the best addon you can find for kodi/xbmc. It lets you watch almost any movie or tv show that streaming sites have, even HD. Google it.
[Android Apps and Games] RMD:
Android Wear is on the Moto 360 and most other watches, you don't need one to develop for Android Wear, I believe they have an emulator for dev purposes.

For example:

https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/creating.html
[Android Apps and Games] zanix:
That makes sense, might be a good idea to indicate that a sync is occurring somewhere.
[Android Apps and Games] Syncd:
oh, ok. Thanks for the info. I'll try to check what might be going on.

Ah, but that takes the fun out of doing it :).
[Android Apps and Games] C3C076:
Just wow!

This indeed has a potential. Coffee on the way :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mettanine:
Like this very much!

I did have one problem, though. When the video plays, I am used to pressing left and right for 30 second jumps and up and down for larger jumps. This did not work, when I tried. But since the family expected a video, I quickly switched to Yatse and couldn't test further, so sorry if I missed something obvious.. :)

Oh, and I found no way to open the contextual menu. Should there be one yet?

Very cool first effort, though. I'll keep an eye on this, as it is miles ahead of Yatse (as much as I love it) design-wise. Yeah, personal preference, but still.. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ElfinJNoty:
Saw this posted on the XDA portal and installed immediately. I already had my Kodi configured for use with Yatze and auto detect made setting up a sinch on my Windoes7 install.

One thing I realized... With the app installed on my LG G2 running BlissPop 1.8 Lollipop ROM:

Although I had not opened Kore on my phone and the app was not used for over a day and killed from being a running app, while watching a movie on Kodi my phone automatically knew there was media playing. There was a player control on my lock screen which was a nice feature and surprised me. However, while outside smoking a CIG when I turned on my phone, I wasn't aware what it was and swiped away the notification which led to the movie stopping on my Kodi. I hope in a future release this will have an option to allow playback to continue even after dismissing the playback controls from the phone(I hope that makes sense?)

I also use a non standard DPI on my G2 (480dpi is stock, I run with a 400dpi) and Kore displayed kind of funny, not utilizing the total space on screen. Everything expected was displayed, just seemed like it didnt adjust to utilize the screen space efficiently and things were perhaps slightly off centered. I'm enjoying the app non the less, but perhaps can be looked at in the future.

Great app so far and looking forward to further development ?
[Android Apps and Games] Syncd:
Well, the remote buttons don't do those jumps. The thing is, Kodi has 2 APIs, which have some overlap in functions, and i'm only using one of them (the newer one). That behaviour (jumping with the left/right commands) is only included in the older API, and i'm not very inclined to support another one for that.

It's different, i know (i also thought it was a bug the first time i noticed it), but you have the fastforward/rewind buttons which you can use.

As for the context menu, doesn't one of the "Info", "Menu" or "Codec" buttons open it?

That wasn't Kore, it probably was Yatse. Kore doesn't keep anything running after you exit it (you don't need to remove it from the recent apps), with the only exception that, if you did a refresh on your library and it hasn't completed, it will run to completion.

Could you please post a screenshot, so i can take a look. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ronaldrailgun:
I'm really enjoying Kore, and for the time being it has replaced Yatse in my daily use. Really like the simple and beautiful looks but still remaining all the functions I need.

I thought I had the same thing especially on the Now Playing screen, since I'm running the same custom DPI on my OPO and the top controls we're aligned to the right side of the screen, but it turned out that the media I was playing didn't have the cover picture/fanart available. Still there is much room between the top and the controls at the bottom, but it does not bother me and i'm not sure if it's meant to be that way.
[Android Apps and Games] Syncd:
Thanks for pointing out the missing cover issue. I'll update it to display something so that it looks better.

As for the controls, they are indeed aligned to the bottom (i reasoned that it was the most ergonomic option), but i'm not completely happy with them and i'd love if someone with better design skills than me suggested better controls.
[Android Apps and Games] Mettanine:
Well, that kinda sucks (the way Kodi handles it, not your decision!). I for one find the jumps a lot faster and easier to control than the forward/reverse feature.

Thanks for the info, though. :good:

I'll have to try the context thing again properly when I have time, but I think I tried all the buttons and nothing happened on either of them.
[Android Apps and Games] unrealteam:
Thanks for sharing

Try it now! i have installed:good:

[Android Apps and Games] xshunin:
Also a Yatse user. I already find your one better. I'd love to be able to browse through unindexed network folders though. I wonder if this is possible. Like I mostly watch stuff from a network HDD that is not indexed by kodi library.
[Android Apps and Games] Syncd:
Right now it's not possible (only through the Kodi interface, with the remote). I'll look into it in future versions.
[Android Apps and Games] Syncd:
I just published a new version that should be available soon through Google Play.

It fixes some reported bugs, adds new actions to the remote (clean/update libraries, toggle fullscreen) and includes French translations (thanks Kowalsky).

If you find any issues, please report them.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] cink40:
Great app, just one questions - when in movies screen how can I enter menu for movie ( where movie can be deleted, mark as watched/unwatched etc)? Menu button in Kore does nothing...
[Android Apps and Games] Syncd:
Good question... You can't for now. I'll take a look at this.
[Android Apps and Games] Syncd:
I just published a new version, that should be available soon.

I know there are still issues, but there hasn't been any crash reported for the latest version, so i guess it's time to bump the version number to 1.0.

New features are some sort options on the movies and tv shows list, bulgarian and german translations (by NEOhidra and jonas2515, respectively), and some tweaks.

As usual, if you find any issues, please report them.
[Android Apps and Games] Arcaziel:
I am simply stunned with this app, this is perfect and so full of functionalities!

I will surely follow your work and already donated through the app! :D

Hi,

I've created a project on Crowdin to manage translations. If you'd like to help, check out https://crowdin.com/project/kore

By the way, this also applies to English, so if you have a suggestion regarding English sentences, please tell me.
[Android Apps and Games] kaat2g:
can't agree more with you. i was messing with the download button when it started to download an 8 GB file to my tablet. no way to stop it. i had to forcefully kill the download manually.
[Android Apps and Games] Syncd:
Next version will have a confirmation dialog.

By the way, Kore is now the Official remote for Kodi, so the package name has changed. It is available here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.xbmc.kore

Please install and use the new version, as the old one won't be updated any longer.
[Android Apps and Games] kaat2g:
Yep. I realized that when I searched for "kore" in the play store. And then saw on your google+ page and kodi forums that kore is now the official remote for kodi on android.

Acer iconia a701 android 4.2, Fail on start. What is problem, can be?
[Android Apps and Games] Dude360:
Hi Syncd!

Congrats on becoming the new Official app :)

I have some small suggestions, I hope that's Ok?

Haptic feedback for remote presses - Really small touch but makes a difference!

Banner View - I've always preferred this view on phones/tablets, makes good use of screen estate and looks great too

Toggle Fullscreen - This option toggles the actual (Windows) app between Fullscreen and Windowed mode. I was expecting this to follow the [TAB] key command (Toggle Fullscreen Playback) rather than the [\] command. I couldn't find a way to switch back except for reaching for my keyboard.

Skip Steps - I know you mentioned that Kodi has two API's and you were focusing on the main one (understandable), would it be possible though to use a (possibly configurable?) button(s) to send a [keypress] and have them mapped to [,] & [.] to emulate the skip steps?

Smart Playlsits as Sources

OK, so here goes, hope this makes sense in writing.

I segregate my video sources by folders on my server:

MEDIA/Video/TV Shows

MEDIA/Video/TV Comedy

MEDIA/Video/TV Finished

MEDIA/Video/TV Other

These folders are added as sources in Kodi and the entire lot is added to the main library.

I then create smart playlists so Kodi can segregate/isolate the individual paths which lets me create separate home screen category on many skins.

If you could add the option to 'pin' these individual smart playlists to the side menu (Movies, TV, Music etc) BUT still keeping full functionality such as posters, banners, watched status etc and have the app treat them as if you are viewing the 'main' library (just as Kodi does) it would make such a difference in usability for those of us that take the customization of Kodi that little bit further...

Its a lot to ask but you would be the only app that would treat them the same as Kodi does. The other apps either have the playlists buried away in a menu and don't have the art and status attached to them or don't support them at all.

Understandably, this may not even be possible with the currant API but I had to ask :) Anyway, just something to keep in mind for future updates.

I appreciate the work you are doing, and can see good things coming to the app to match the power of Kodi itself :good:

Also, absolute ruddy fracking KUDOS for having the option of a dark theme in the app, for free, by default. Legend.
[Android Apps and Games] zanix:
Congrats on being chosen as the official remote!
[Android Apps and Games] Cyroq:
Great app! I've been using Yatse for a long time but this is definately a competitor.

Two functions I'd like to see that would improve the remote:

The possibility to navigate using swiping motions instead of arrows. When using arrows, you have to carefully look at your second screen while the browsing is happening on the big screen. Swiping makes blind navigation possible.

A shortcut to change the audio's output. I'm using dual audio (HDMI + Analogue) on the Raspberry Pi (because of a sound system in another room) but when watching movies in surround sound I have to change the output to HDMI only. It would be great if a button for this function will be embedded in the remote.

Can't wait to see this remote developing!
[Android Apps and Games] ElDiablo77:
Great start

What it does it does well, extra function (views, genres etc) will hopefully be added. I prefer this to Yatsee but can't switch full time just yet.

Accessing .m3u Playlist

Love the new Kore remote...Thank you

Question, Will there be a future update to access music playlist on the remote itself, without looking at the tv.

Reason is, all my music streams through kodi to my outside speakers. With this remote on my Galaxy tab 4 makes it really nice to control my music. I can access artist, albums, and files. It shows the current music playing, Just can't get to the .m3u playlist without looking at the tv.

Thanks again,

Looks good, I have only just downloaded Kore so havent had much of a play yet. I see there is a screen which shows all of my addons which is great. is there a way to make a shortcut, so i can just go to that screen and click on the shortcut to say go to my watchlist inside on the the addons? It would save a few menus to go through. I only stream tv shows, so I dont have any use for the library or music spart of it.

I have the same request that RMX574: access to music playlists from Kore, it would be really handy.

Thank you for the help !

And sorry for my poor English ;)

Hi,

I would like to include a self-compiled version of Kore in my

self-compiled ROM. I am able to compile such a cm-12.1-

based ROM for my Motorola xt1033/peregrine without

problems and I am also familiar with patching some of its

Makefiles, but I have no clue how to include the source code

of Kore into the cm/aosp-based build system. Could you please

point me to a guide explaining how to build an app which

has a gradle-based build system? Please keep in mind

while answering that I never worked with gradle, but I

am familiar with autoconf and, to a lesser extent, with

cmake-based build systems.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the nightly builds:

Awesome app!! I was just wondering if there was a way to tell the difference between a 3D movie and regular movie in the Movies list. It shows 2 of the same movies and I can't tell which one is the 3D video. I know within Kodi if you have the correct naming convention it knows to show the 3D on the movie description.

Thanks!

Hi all,

This is just a short question: Is it possible to flash a rom from a rebranded phone to the original one, or even use the same root package or recovery? For instance from the micromax yu yureka to the cool pad dashen f2 (8675-w00)? They have exactly the same specs! And if it is possible do you have to do something special? Please explain if you know how to!

Appreciate it!
