mooTouch - XBMC remote with touch support

mooTouch is a simple remote control / web-interface for XBMC-git, currently optimized for webkit browsers and touch-enabled mobile devices (Android/iPhone/iPad). It is written in object-oriented Javascript (mootools) and is still under heavy development. It has been tested on high-res devices only (800x480 / 1024x768 / 1440x900), so i don't know if there are any inconsistencies on low-res (480x320) phones - feedback appreciated. mooTouch is loosely inspired by wTouch, but differs greatly in code approach and extensibility.

Current features

• Two modes: virtual remote and media browser

• Simple theming support

• Simple OSD for now-playing media

• Simple history/bookmark support

• Simple virtual keyboard

Todo

• Chunking and sorting of data (needs XBMC fixes)

• More extensive media information

• More and better theming

• ...your ideas?

Installation

• Download zip from here

• Manually install on addons page in XBMC

• Go to Network settings and set as default web-interface

• Browse to http://xbmc-ip:/8080/

Usage
On startup you are in touch-mode, gestures are:

• Swipe left or right to move horizontally (arrow key)

• Swipe up or down to move vertically, continue swipe will repeat action (arrow key)

• Tap to select action (enter)

• Tap longer (hold) to open option menu (c-key)

• Swipe Left then Right (one movement) to go back to previous menu (escape)

• Swipe Right then Left (one movement) to toggle GUI (tab)

• Tap on Input-button to open the soft-keyboard

• Tap on media info (bottom panel) to show player control (m-key)

Clicking Browse enables library mode, TVShow mode is probably not working yet.

Bug reports and feature requests welcome!

Re: mooTouch - XBMC remote with touch support

It would be awesome if you could get it working on firefox mobile and/or the Nokia N900 browser, currently I can't control the video and the buttons look ugly. Also swipe doesn't really work.
For testing purposes you can just use the desktop version of Firefox looks pretty much the same

The styling will be pretty simple to fix, but the sliding and controls might be difficult without access to a (real) firefox-based mobile. For now i can only say that patches on that end are welcome, sorry..

edit: version bumped to 0.11, changes:

- Fix Firefox styling
