I lack function for scrolling video +10s -10s in main interface. There are one in active notification in android, but it does a bit far jumps (+-30s). There are speed controls in main interface, but on weak systems like my Raspberry Pi it is not very useful and hard to point particular moment. Anyway, thansk to developers!

Love this app! absolutely the best thing to use with Kodi. I do wish they'd have a one touch add to playlist if you're using the remote on a headless unit for music though. (or they have it and I haven't found it yet?) The user manual doesn't mention this, but most computers use dynamic IP addresses. This will cause the remote to stop working, and you'll have to enter a new IP in the remote. Or change the PC to a static address.

Always loved this one, makes browsing through menus while keeping the video full screen possible, and being able to have multiple kodi devices linked up means I don't have to keep track of different remotes. One thing though is that I can never get it to automatically link, always have to setup manual, really the only thing I take issue with
