Have you guys tried out XBMC Constellation? It's my preference for a remote, plus it works on both iPad and iPhone
They did have Sab, Sickbeard and CouchPotato support in it but were forced to remove it all bar Sab

I shall give it a try this week - i am very happy with commander, however my ipad 1 does like to boom out every so often due to its lack of RAM.

I get on with it pretty well, looks and feels well integrated, never had any issues with it
A few screenshots of it.
If anyone has a windows 8 laptop or tablet I highly recommend Xbmc remote for it from the windows store. Its the one with the black background logo there's a couple named the same on the store
I have used all kinds of Android and IOS remotes but this is the only one where I can click on any of my videos and it will ask me if I want to resume from where I left off and if you are clicking on a TV show season it automatically creates a playlist with that seasons episodes which is handy

Cheers guys. My other issue at the moment seems to be ever since i've started using Media Companion. XBMC seems to show movies multiple times which can be a little annoying in list view as it could show as

I'm not sure if these are sample style trailers getting picked up. Is there a way to limit files under a certain size?

Put the year in brackets in the folder name, helps no end
Really? I thought the media browser ones weren't up to much.
Try Transparency, Aeon Nox, Glass, Convergence, Metropolis, Neon, or Night, for instance.
The main problem with XBMC skins is the sheer number of them, and how much you can tweak each one.
One thing, al4x: most XBMC skins have a default view, called List, which is pretty boring. When you enter the tv shows or movies view, press the left cursor key to reveal the view options, and fiddle around with them. Each skin often has several radically different layouts.

XBMC takes a very long time to get it exactly how you want it. I've been using it for about 2 years now and I'm still playing about with new things to make it better
