Throw away your old remote Once you use this you won't need it.12/7/16 Sad that the latest update has removed what had become a familiar UI. Although I know where the buttons are, I keep catching myself checking to make sure I have the right key. At least bring back the old colors! Pretty please. 15/7/16 Thanks for the old theme back again!!!

Wasn't sure about the new look, now fixed. I liked the old colourful buttons, the new ones with tiny monochrome symbols are harder to identify at a glance. By all means add new designs and let us choose, but please don't force new designs on us when we've gotten used to how it looked. Update: The ability to change theme has corrected this nicely, the Legacy - Dark theme is excellent, back to five stars!

Super handy for Myth Legacy buttons are back 😀

Hi David,
I released an update to Mythmote yesterday. The new version supports selecting between 4 themes; one of which is the original colorful theme with white buttons.

Horrible button design The new design is just terrible to use since all the buttons look identical without carefully studying the screen.

Thank you for your feedback and I hope Mythmote continues to be a useful application for you. New interface (July 8, 2016) is bad They updated the look of the interface. Not very intuitive to use - despite the fact buttons are in the same spots, I can't remember what some of the buttons do. They are also way too small for my eyes. Dropped my rating from a five to a three.

Thank you for your feedback and I hope Mythmote continues to be a useful application for you. Awesome Awesome and.. Awesome!! Forget regular remotes. The kids lose them anyway. I usually have my phone when I watch TV so this is great. I did have a small issue but worked through it fairly easy. There was a box in the Myth frontend general setup that was not checked on my frontend that allows network control. I checked it and connected fine after that.
Saved me when my remote had batteries leak in it. Not as good as a well configured IR remote (especially my Logitech which controls multiple devices in the living room) but great as a backup and stop gap. Very easy to configure. Except WOL isn't working for me... Tested WOL on front-end from laptop ok...
Works great! Easy to set up and works great on mythbuntu 14. New skin would be awesome though, like make it look like a real remote with black background. The white is distracting in a dark room. Great job!
Works very well once configured properly This app does a great job of controlling MythTV. It was difficult to configure. Did not find a lot of help online. Final Solution found through trial and error. Had to change IP address in myth TV back and to actual IP of the computer.
Really useful It's great , although recently it's started taking a long time to load sometimes - frustrating if you just want to hit pause quickly! But overall it's a good app. Running on a HTC One
Works well, easy setup Using a Samsung tablet, this was working in 5 minutes. The response is very quick and key repeat works well for scrolling lists of shows. I wish I had found it before I purchased an infred remote.
Could use some better documentation but great app! Only just got it working but seems to work great. Few notes: 1. It will be much easier if the frontend you want to control has a fixed IP. 2. Make sure you check "Enable Network Remote Control Interface" in the frontend General settings. 3. I have a Mythbuntu combined backend/frontend. I had to change the backend IP to the actual IP address of the system instead of the default 127.0.0.1 4. The Mythbuntu Control Center has a check box to enable Android & iOS remotes. There is currently a bug where this doesn't do anything. It doesn't seem to affect anything though.
Install Tips To get this to work on Fedora, use ifconfig -a to get your ip & mac address, and use system-config-firewall to add an exception for TCP port 6546, and turn on network remote in frontend settings general.
Up and running in 5 minutes Haven't used it for long, but was impressed by how easy it was to get working. From download to controlling my combined fe/be took less than five minutes.
Great remote Works really well. Could be designed a bit better for 10 inch tablets, a small complaint
One of my most used apps I had been putting off getting a proper remote for my front end, but with Mythmote... I don't need one. I have this installed on my phone, and have it installed on my wifes tablet.
Used this app for years I've used this app on many phones over the years (and many versions of MythTV). It's always been stable and it's super easy to use. 6.5 stars!
Io exception. Tried all solutions won't work Doesn't work on my Nexus4
Can't connect Looks nicer now but now I am getting the io exception fault issue and can't connect anymore.

Did the 1.8.5 update fix the IOException you were encountering? Cannot connect to 0.26 and unable to troubleshoot. Is this great idea still live?

Check out the instructional video for setting up mythmote: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr1cljto3OE
Also make sure your frontend does not have a firewall enabled blocking the incoming connection. Feel free to use the "email the developer link" in the google play store for additional support.
-Tom Need better icons I'd really like a cleaner icon for the app and more modern/cleaner/simpler button icons. App works great though.
Get rid of those remotes Easy to configure. Enable the remote network control on the front-end and it works... Simple
Still works I've replaced my phone 3 times, my MythTV a couple of times and this app still works.
Fantistic MythTV Remote Been using this a long time and it's a great remote for a MythTV setup.
Great remote I'd give it give 5 stars if it had a widget. Awesome remote though.
I can't live without it Awesome app a lot simpler than infra red remotes etc I can't live without it. As for the spacebar using a -dash or under_score is my walkaround. Dev maybe on the next update you could make that as default space character.
Nice work Works well for my needs. Thanks for putting in this effort!
Why doesn't this work after updates? Worked flawless a few versions back. Now io exception faults and cannot connect. So sad.
