The new 2.2.4 rpm is broken. Impossible to install on my tablet (it runs SFOS 4.0, which cannot and will never be upgraded to 4.5). The reason is zstd compression of the new rpm. Meanwhile kodimote is the most important app for that tablet. :(

Hi, there is a bug in sorting Artists in huge libraries. Artists are not really sorted alphabetically. Maybe you can have a look on kontroller. the bug was also present there, but is now fixed.

I tested kodimote on the INOI T8 tablet and there are UI sizing and layout issues.  See the linked screenshots:

1 - playbackbuttons (vertical)       https://yadi.sk/i/7WRp9oMf4P4wnA

2 - Remote control page layout (vertical)     https://yadi.sk/i/70Fk8uWFfgU-uQ

3 - list of folders (vertical)     https://yadi.sk/i/b97u27_u5vZ75g

4 - bug (horizontal)      https://yadi.sk/i/uYY9gnWQqIi8qQ

5 - poor button placement (horizontal)      https://yadi.sk/i/Lf5pNM1P-oD47g

6 - cover     https://yadi.sk/i/BLKFYhbpyk1-oA

INOI tablet screen parameters: 1920x1200 px,   108x172 mm

Please, add an option never to hide playback and volume controls. Tablet has enough screen space.

As you are already using your INOI tablet with the new kid on the block (Kontroller), maybe you should focus on getting changes done over there? I decided to put a (at least temporary) freeze to my Sailish development activities, with  an exception for bugs or changes I personally need. Pull request are always welcome of course (wink wink).

Now about your points:
1. It does not size well for this dimension indeed
2. The buttons should be there, but they will auto-hide if nothing is playing (has always been the case in Kodimote). Or you have set them hidden from the pully menu.
3. Requires a page redesign.
4. I encounter this bug myself. It sometimes appears, only when you rotate from portrait to landscape. I do also see this in other applications every now and then, so it looks like a Sailfish Silica bug in my perspective.
5. I think this would be a general improvement for other devices too.
6. This is, in a way, comparable to the Jolla Tablet. The cover text is size different (larger font) from regular phones devices. Thats why I already have the progressbar hidden on the Jolla tablet. No clue why, I consider that a Sailfish bug as well.

Hi, I have two requests. Both related to the remote control. I often use kodi for presenting pictures. This works quite well with kodimote. But there are unfortunately two things which are a bit annoying:

1. The area in the middle of the touchfield is to small. I often have to tap twice and have to look where I have to tap. Would it be possible to make this area larger or even accapt a single tap in the whole touchfield?

2. For presentation I use the automatic slideshow. It would be nice to have a pause and resume Button for that. At the moment I have to use the zoom funktion for that (or an android remote for kodi).

Ad 1
I do not use the touchpad a lot, but I do see you point.

Ad 2
Regarding pictures, I only used it for a testcase. Pause and play only seem to control music, when in picture mode and playing a slide show.

I'll have a look at both cases, that's all I can say for now.

Edit: second point should be addressed in new release.

"I'll have a look at both cases, that's all I can say for now."

That's more than I could expect, so I'm happy and can only say (again) THANK YOU!

Edit:

Thanks for the Pause/Resume Button. Works like charm. :)

There is a new release. I have been looking at your touchfield question and I do not think it is a matter of beeing too small, but how the gesture is handled.
Kodimote has to determine if you intended a directional swipe, or a select. By tapping the screen, you always make a (minimal) movement. Within a certain range, Kodimote does not know if you meant a swipe of select gesture.
And to avoid mistakes, it ignores those touches. For now, I made that range a bit more narrow, so it will more likely be accepted as a select. After some testing it felt more touches where accepted as select, but maybe your experience will be different.

Thanks a lot, will try it in the evening, when I'm at home. Is there a donation link anywhere?

Edit:

Just tested it and now it works like it should. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Great to hear! The changes were not as hard as I anticipated.
I do not have a donation link. If you want to donate something: I'm not sure if the donation links from the original authors in the about page are still valid. Else OpenRepos.net itself would be a good alternative.

I wrote a small companion daemon (in perl) that detects kodimote's attempts to connect with Kodi server and launches Kodi, if it is not running at the moment. 

It is useful for people that run Kodi as a regular application instead of a dedicated "kiosk mode" session. You can start kodimote on your phone and enjoy your music without even approaching the computer or turning on the display.

Where should I publish it? It is a perl script intended to run on a desktop Linux either in userspace or as a system daemon. It is a glue between kodimote and kodi and should be somehow linked or announced together with kodimote (or a similar android app?).

Thanks for the tip!

It is easy to switch between the forks, but hard to combine their merits. Your version makes playback control buttons so big that some go outside the screen. If the bigger size is needed for the tablet UI, consider autodetection of screen size or a manual switch, please. The same concerns spaces between playlist lines. Your version has it too big, but jollastore has it too tight to show names of TV shows between the channel names (TV).

There are also two big shortcomings in kodimote:

  1. no cue sheet support to see individual songs
  2. no playback position bar. It is impossible to go to song #7 when you see one huge track containing a full album. Kodi itself works flawlessly with cuesheets.

Buttons and spacing are too big for phone screen (Jolla C) jollastore version looks much nicer. There should be an option, perhaps. Otherwise works well.

Here is a link to the issue:
https://github.com/mzanetti/kodimote/issues/94

This is a photo showing the difference (Jolla C (left) and Jolla 1 (right)) run the same kodimote fork.

You should be able to pin the jollastore version so it won't be overwritten with my version if you have my repo enabled.
First install the version from the jolla store.
Then (as root):

The original .ts file most probably belongs to an old version. Send me an updated file and I shall transfer the strings. Actually, it should work automatically like in gettext .po.

I have updated this file. Please, send me updated strings to   MY_I0GlN AT mail.ru   to make any necessary changes. I would like to test it.

Github forked that repo, so my edited version is here:

https://github.com/dikonov/kodimote/blob/master/i18n/kodimote_ru.ts

It would be easier for me to send it by e-mail, as I do not want to make a true fork of the project.

A few things:
- Please don't use the original repo, but my forked one.
- I am not sure what translation tool you are using, but I have to change the translation lines syntax to make it usable.
- Not all translations match. It may be better to get kodimote.ts from my repo, and make that a new kodimote_ru.ts translation. A lot can be used from the current kodimote_ru.ts.

And forks are no problem. The best way is to create a pull request when done, and remove your fork afterwards.
