RokuRemote Update

Hi guys/gals, sorry its been a long time since the last post. Many things have happened since then.

Anyways, I just wanted to drop a line anout the next update to RokuRemote.

As you are probably aware, the lyrics service I was using within RokuRemote has stopped working due to licensing issues.This has now also happened to the album artwork service as well. So you will have to bare with me until the update is pushed out for these to be fixed.

The update is being coded as fast as possible (without neglecting quality), but is taking sometime due to the re-write of the code from the ground up. I decided to do this as version 3.0 of the iPhone software made some very big changes into the way that networking is dealt with, and by re-coding the remote to use this new infrastructure will mean a much more reliable connection to your Roku device. Also, the method in which song/album/artist etc… lists are retrieved from the Roku device has been changed to a sync method. This will mean when you access your libraries the first time will take sometime while a sync takes place, but from then on afterwards library access will be instant, which you will hopefully find a much better way to use the remote.

As for timescale on the update, I have set dates several times but due to life pressures and the fact I do this in my spare time all I can tell you is that the update is coming, it is being coded and it will be released free of charge to people who have already bought the app. All I can ask is for your patience please and hopefully in the end you’ll like the end product!
