Constellation for XBMC Hack 2.9.19 + Redeem Codes

As with all XBMC remotes I saw this one and thought I would give it a try not expecting much. I was wrong and very happy with with this discovery. As someone that designs and installs home theaters and programs all types of remotes I was very happy with the layout and general design of this remote.

It is an XBMC remote but could have been a universal remote. I like the fact that it isn't plastered with XBMC logos and green and black scheme colors. The design is very clean and everyone at my BBQ today was very impressed with the remote.

I was impressed with the layout, color scheme, and most importantly the speed. I have XBMC commander and well, despite its looks, it's not the fastest touch remote on the block. Very twitchy. This remote is smooth.

For users like me with large unraid arrays, or other media servers and over 2000 movies the speed is very impressive. Good job!!!! I will defiantly be recommending users of XBMC home theaters to this remote. Who ever you are listing to for features don't stop listening.

Thanks!!!!!!

The drop down menu for controlling current media needs a new activator. As of iOS 5.0 the notification center is activated by the same swipe. Its frustrating to activate notifications when you wanted to pull down the pause menu. Otherwise this app is well built. It would be nice to have ability to send keystrokes, but that might be XBMC limitation. Loses one star for being so expensive. This app would be the most expensive part of my htpc setup lol! The free version is usable and add supported of course. The paid version occasionally fails to function. Starting videos on jailbroken atv2 is hit and miss. Works well with raspbmc on ras-pi! Has trouble with large libraries -> very slow!

How do I use this app? My library is blank.

I've been using the pro version since 2011 and it is well worth the price. A very polished GUI and the functionality it pulls from xbmc is awesome. Since the last update however there have been some issues and they are documented by the other users aswell such as thumbnails not displaying. I tried a lot of different things but what worked was to go back to using the Eden rc2 release an everything worked again. Somehow when I updated to the latest version of xbmc I started having problems with thumbnails not displaying. Apart from this issue which I am sure will be fixed this is hands down the best, slickest looking controller for xbmc you're likely to find.

I've introduced a lot of people to the xbmc experience and it blew them away and when I show them how I can use my iPhone and iPad to control it their eyes pop out and love it!!

Great job on developing this app. I hope that the niggling issues are resolved for all users as its almost perfect.

Love everything about the remotes functionality. My only beef is the original sync. When using my iPad, I sometimes can't tell if it's trying to sync the library in the background, and on the iPhone, the pull down to refresh option isn't there (I thought I may have seen it once but I might be wrong). My library is very large and it took 5 min to complete sync, but I had no way of knowing if it was syncing or not, and where in the syncing process it was. I'd recommend a larger and more visible bar stating when any sync or image fetching is in process. Additionally, if possible a progress bar would be nice, along with a little message stating what is being fetched (for instance "fetching TV Show: Family Guy Episodes" or something like that).

Other than that, great app. I purchased the ads free and it's worth it once all is synced. Add the above features and it will blow the competition out of the water for sure.

I have used Constellation for over a year and in the last few months I have encountered a bug that affects many users and has yet to be addressed. Whenever I play any media using the app, I must quit the app before my iDevice goes to sleep otherwise I will be forced to reboot the device. I have tested this on an iPhone 4 and an iPad 3, iOS 5-6.1, and the issue happens without fail. This is extraordinarily annoying, leaving me with the choice of never allowing my device to dim it's screen or quitting the app and reopening it each time I want to pause, change the volume, or whatever. This is equivalent to having to take the batteries out of your remote after each time you use it. For an app that is primarily a remote, this is an EPIC FAIL.

When working properly the app is amazing and would easily deserve 5 stars and your money. With the current lack of development I highly suggest you look elsewhere.

I am just amazed at how good this is. You've got everything you could ever want - media info, previews, trailers, links to imdb, etc, all from within the app. You can browse and choose without even looking up. And you're not missing a thing - its all there. This is hands down the best. The remote control takes some getting used to but once you get the hang of it you'll find it has all the regular features and some shortcuts to speed you on your way. The iPhone app had a better remote control but the buttons were so small I kept clicking the wrong ones. In the end though the iPad app is so good I doubt I'll use the iPhone one again.

Still has some kinks to work out but best iPad xbmc by far. I use the ipad app to browse my whole music &movie collection that's on a desktop connected to the tv and speaker system and control it like a remote . Pros: nice visual display of music library, wake on LAN allows true remote control, browse easily on iPad and play on main system, clean interface

Cons: browsing can be hard. Music search not as easy as iTunes or Winamp - should be able to search by any tag type - artist album song or file name. Sometimes unstable and loses connection. Would be nice to use the whole iPad touchscreen to control xbmc. Using the remote section of the app isn't easy to use when controlling the screen.

Hands down the best interface and user experience ever, when controlling a media center. I love the ability to scroll through all my movies, on or off-line. I love the interface and responsiveness. I ordered my Rasberry PI today, and I can't wait to drive my xbmc from my iPad, and get the big ugly PC... Away from my tv. I heard the AppleTV can run xbmc...with a little help ;)
Controlling that from my iPad, through Constellation would be the ultimate media experience, on a TV. Until Apple drops all their locks, I'll be switching from Apple to PI...for my media streaming. But either way, I'll be using this app on my iPad.

XBMC constellation works great. The interface is beautiful, and it's also redundant (you can play/pause from the top, or from the remote). Since there are so many interface elements, the redundancy makes the app so much more convenient. The volume on the remote is very nice and responsive. The more I use it, the more I find to like about it.

The only qualm I have is the play/pause button being too close in the remote. I always find myself pressing stop when I want to continue a show. So, for now, it's better to use the top remote to resume playback. I hope they fix this part!
