Setup Dialog¶
The Setup dialog can be activated from application’s menu. The changes are saved only if you press the Done button. Clicking outside the dialog is interpretted as canceling the current changes.
XBMC¶
On the phone¶
Use these settings to configure the network connection between XBMC and Simple XBMC Remote. If the XBMC requires an username and password, check the Requires authentication and complete those fields, too.
- Server: the IP or name of the XBMC server
- Port: port where XBMC listens for HTTP connections
- Username: username configured in XBMC
- Password: password configured in XBMC
Warning
if set, the username and password are stored in clear on the phone.
On the server¶
The network configuration for XBMC is accessible via System > Network > Settings > Services.
- As a bare minimum, you will have to Allow control of XBMC via HTTP and configure a port. The Port value must be the same with that used in Simple XBMC Remote.
- If you configure a Username and Password, you will have to check the Requires authentication and set Simple XBMC Remote accordingly.
- You will also have to activate in XBMC the Allow programs from other systems to control XBMC (or you could check only Allow programs on this system to control XBMC, use SSSH to do some portforwarding to your phone, then set the Server in Simple XBMC Remote to point to localhost).
Screen¶
You can disable the screen saver by checking the Disable screensaver.
Warning
Currently, dimming is not working, so you will only be able to disable the screensaver.
Notifications¶
In case of some error, Simple XBMC Remote will display a notification. The time these notifications are displayed is controlled by the slider under Notifications. If you want to completely dissable these notifications, move the slider completely to the left.
