My Thumb WiFi remote for Android

**menny** · August 11th, 2011, 05:11 AM

Hi guys.
I've fixed all kind of stuff, including a wifilock (which means that as long as the remote requires network, the wifi will not go to sleep, e.g., the application is visible or a movie is playing in Boxee).

Please provide feedback.

Works perfectly! This should become the official boxee remote app for android!

Ok, i just got the Boxee Box and would love to use this app with my phone. But every time I start it, it connects to my boxee box, but when I try to use a gesture to navigate or do anything, it says: Problem Fetching URL http://192.168.0.105:8800/xbmcCmds/x...nd=SendKey(270)

Am I doing something wrong? I have my Boxee Box connected via ethernet to my router and my phone connected to my wifi. Dont I just start the app and connect it to my Boxee Box and it should work right? It doesnt say any other steps I have to do in order for it to work.

Thanks

I've released my "thumb-driver-wifi-remote" to the Android Market:

It is very simple, check it out!

Already using it.

Great tactile control, just the right speed. The remote I use over others right now.

Menny...I noticed it would force crash though on my Samsung Captivate (ATT) when I activated the physical back button I believe . I sent a report.
