Hi!
Do you have a help file of what it does this app and how to set it?
I haven't understand what this app is doing. Say that I have a pc with xbmc and an android phone. I have your app and xbmc remote. Can I play music to my phone? How?

Sorry there isn't a help file.

The usual way of using XMBC is: a PC (as a server) and a phone (as a remote). When you have those two things the music comes out of your PC's speakers. There are several XMBC remote apps in the market.

This app is for the opposite. Its for when you have music on your phone (as a server) and a phone (as a remote). Here, the music comes out of your phone's speaker. You can plug it into a docking station or a stereo for better sound quality. More than one simultaneous remotes are supported.

To answer your question "Say that I have a pc with xbmc and an android phone. I have your app and xbmc remote. Can I play music to my phone?".
If I understand this correctly you want to play the music from your PC on your phone. This app will only play music on the phone where it lives.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your answer! Unfortunatelly I was looking for the opposite: play the music from your PC (xbmc) on my phone. Why don't you developing such an apk? It would be great success if you do it! Controlling xbmc from remote and playing the music from pc to android. The solution I am thinking is via a upnp application or streaming the sound of pc to android. Had you ever thought about it?
