I downloaded the app and it works. I left it running on the background in my Nexus and it crashed. I hope the fix this. Thanks for the APP anyways.

Just loaded the app on my iPad. Everything works fine with one exception. As a few others have stated, only Tuner shows up in the Input list. However I can switch inputs by tapping the blank area below where it says Tuner. The OLED display shows the correct input name when doing so. XMC is connected via Ethernet, OS is 9.01, unit is an AIR. OLED display lags correct station info for 2-3 seconds when switching stations. No big deal. Also noted that switching orientation of the iPad requires hitting the virtual power button for the app to work. Also not a biggie. Kudos to all involved with the generation of this app.  Will try the app on my iPhone 6 next. Russ |

To be sure, in XMC-1 setup: Inputs are visible? Inputs are named? Inputs are assigned a button? |

Just for clarification purposes, I can change inputs with the app, just not by selection, I have to scroll through them to find the one i want.
Cheers

I am very glad you posted these numbers, because I just made a rather weird discovery on my own : when connected to my router via ethernet cable, my XMC-1's network system can now pull some numbers that resemble those on other devices on my network, but it can do so only when DHCP is *disabled*, and yet even so, I still cannot get the remote apps to connect to the XMC-1. However, as soon as I re-enable DHCP, the numbers revert to their earlier nondescript/useless formats. The only conclusion I can draw from this is that the XMC-1 is indeed communicating with the router (since it can pull correct AP address/Subnet mask numbers from it with DHCP disabled). Yet pulling numbers from the router with DHCP disabled only shows that there is some inexplicable wedge placed in the path of the connection, or that the network configuring system on my XMC-1 is downright dysfunctional. I have placed a call to EMO Tech support, and they tell me that Keith will call me back. I am still awaiting that call. The early units reported the DHCP checkbox was backward, as you can see mine (which came with FW 3.0) seems to work properly. I assume you're on 3.0? But do remember some talk that older units still had the problem. Anyway, however you get a reasonable address is correct. A utility that allows you to ping the XMC-1 from your phone / tablet would be the next test to ensure communication. There are many, I use Net Analyzer by Techet on my iPad and iPhone to track and monitor all the devices on my network, it can ping too. I've had it a long time and don't remember if it was free. I had to assign an IP address manually to the XMC-1 with HDPC off in order to resolve the problem. Now I can see the XMC-1 in the remote app on my IPAD... I still have to figure out some of the navigation, but all is good. And yes, I have firmware 3.0, but the network system seems to communicate with my router only when HDCP is disabled. And even with HDCP disabled, I had to put one minor tweak on the IP address that I saw on the screen, before my Ipad app could recognize the XMC-1. With HDCP turned off, the XMC-1 showed the ff. IP address: 192.168.1.127. Now Keith L, who was on the line with me from Emo, suggested that this might be a number that was input from the EMO factory itself for testing purposes, but strangely, the formula 192.168.1... matches many IP addresses of devices that are connected to my network, and since the last number that my router assigned to an ethernet connected device on my network (a mac mini) was 192.168.1.87, I manually changed the IP address showing in the XMC-1 to 192.168.1.88, and voilà! Mr. XMC-1 suddenly popped up in my IPAD remote app, and all has been good since then. I have documented this experience in detail here, in case the info is helpful to another XMC-1 owner in a similar bind, and I hope you don't mind. Thanks for the great communication on this matter. |

Tried the app on my iPhone 6. Everything works perfectly.
To answer the questions above all three settings are as you say. Note the virtual OLED display shows the correct input each time.

Edit: I just realized....my Emotiva remote for the XMC works perfectly. Obviously they aren't going to reissue codes that would break the factory remote. Also, the 'optional' firmware I was thinking of was probably on the UMC-1. All firmware updates on the XMC have been monolithic as I recall. I don't know what the problem is, but it's pretty useless on Z2 for me at this point. Ray What Emotiva did releasing the new codes was a good thing, it opened up greater possibilities in controlling the XMC-1. The new codes augment the original codes, so if you only use the Emo remote, or the original Harmony entries, then you won't have any problems. But some of us want to directly access more functions - like the tone controls for instance, that aren't on the original remote. So eventually they released the entire command set, this exposed some problems, they didn't change anything, they added more. This App is using some of those new codes, so it's exposing some problems, it will get fixed, probably soon. For now you have your Harmony, hopefully soon, this App too. Here's the thread I started about the new codes, if you can wade through the first two posts you should get the gist of it. XMC-1 and Harmony Remotes - The New Command SetThanks for your time and effort regarding the expanded control codes. If, as you say, all that has changed over time is the implementation of ADDITIONAL instructions, then basic Z2 volume functionality should work regardless. Additionally, my problem 'seems' to be app based. I'm not getting appropriate response ON THE APP when I try to adjust Z2 volume....and of course not on the XMC either. I suppose the app could be waiting for communication from the XMC before it displays volume level, but that seems a stretch. Another note....no, I don't still have my Harmony or the Emotiva remote as regards my needs to control Z2...IR doesn't go through walls. I won't beat this horse any more. Obviously nobody else has this problem. I was hoping for some guidance from on high without having to bother Emo on the phone. Thanks again for your efforts Ray Update: Firmware V 3.1 has resolved this issue for me. All works as expected now. NICE! R |

Keith L suggested that since this remote App is rather new, it may still have some bugs to work out. I suppose that means some occasional glitching in these early days should be expected and considered normal..., pending the arrival of corrective updates...

This just in,,,,,,,,,,my IPhone 6+ works just fine with the XMC-1 app. OS is 9.0.1 (13A404) It makes sense that the iPhone works fine, there's a difference between how the iPhone and iPad Apps display. With the phone your inputs are just numbered, 1-7, no names associated. With the iPad the App makes a query to the XMC-1 to get the names of the inputs to display, something is preventing the query from populating the input panel, or some info it needs is missing in setup. |

App seems to work well (Android phone and tablet) with the quick play I had last night. My problem is that, like the physical remotes, the remote apps are multiplying out of control. Soon I'll be wanting a universal remote app app.

Soon I'll be wanting a universal remote app app. Exactly! The Harmony Ultimate Home, takes you part way and allows you to bridge between IR & IP, but the customization is still lacking. There are Apps w/Hardware like iRule that try to bridge this gap, a friend has it and it does a nice job for him. I need to play with it more and see how it does for me. One App to rule them all! |

I see XMC-1 inside the silver box but none of the controls work and the "OLED" box is empty. iPhone version. DUH! Touched the yellow power button and everything "magically" came to life... lovely app, I must say. |

Touched the yellow power button and everything "magically" came to life... lovely app, I must say. See, now this is something I don't care for. If my XMC-1 is already on , should I really have to hit the power button. And the buttons along the bottom being grey look as though they are dead and when first tried the app I was waiting for them to change to an active color. |

Will try the app on my iPhone 6 next.
