[2013-02-05] A Google User: Great app I haven't used this app often but it's great when I want to start or stop my music without have to go over to my PC. Would be nice if it had volume control though. |
|
[2013-02-01] A Google User: Just a few thoughts... Works great, but I do agree with the July 21st comment that adding a few lines to the instructions about which ports to forward (and why, just maybe) would be a great help. A definite step above the SSH remote I had been using. |
|
[2013-01-31] A Google User: Simple and good Now I can connect my Ubuntu 12.10 laptop to the speakers and control music from my Android phone!!! What else do I want? Thanks a lot! |
|
[2013-01-28] A Google User: Great app I had been looking for something like this for long. Very simple and nice control. Having the change of controlling volume would make it 5 stars |
|
[2013-01-18] A Google User: Great As others have stated can only play library if "all artists" are selected on the computer. This severely handicaps the remote. Need search and playlist added. |
|
[2013-01-10] A Google User: Good app, problems with firewall It's an awesome app, but it has problems with a firewall even if the port is open. Is the app trying to connect to a different port? Because if I disable the firewall just to be able to connect and the re-enable the firewall, the app stays connected and works properly, instead of disconnecting because of the firewall being on. It would also be great if I could see the playlists and that the sync would happen automatically. Maybe using rsync so I don't have to manually sync the database everytime I add a song. |
|
[2013-01-06] A Google User: Good Works well on my S3. Only occasionally drops the connection. |
|
[2012-12-12] A Google User: Was great when it worked Suddenly broken. Can't sync, database file is corrupt and even uninstalling it won't work. Completely useless now. |
|
[2012-12-11] A Google User: Great app (firewall help) Love the app, but had some initial troubles getting it through the firewall. The solution was to add the following iptables command: iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED, RELATED -j ACCEPT good luck! |
|
[2012-12-02] A Google User: Superb! What to say but it's fantastic tool. There is place for some improvements but in general this it! |
|
[2012-12-02] A Google User: Nice App This app is sweet - it was easy to set up, it is simple and minimalist, and it gets the job done. |
|
[2012-11-10] A Google User: App won't work with just 8484 fowarded - FIXED To get the app to work you also have to open and/or forward port 7 on your firewall depending on your setup. I have ufw installed on Ubuntu 12.04 |
|
[2012-11-09] A Google User: Eh Could really use some actual android app standards and tablet layout |
|
[2012-11-04] A Google User: Quite useful Good for when you are playing tracks in random order and you need to skip a track. Works reliably. |
|
[2012-10-05] A Google User: Amazing Exactly what I was looking for, and it was free! Works on Ubuntu Linux. I am a very happy geek right now. Would like playlist support, and maybe ratings, but the lack of these doesn't make the app any less awesome. I hope you're still working on it. |
|
[2012-09-29] A Google User: Playlist Unable to create playlist |
|
[2012-09-27] A Google User: very smooth and nice a wonderful app! THX, only tow thing are missing. a search for the library and the optin to create a playlist |
|
[2012-09-25] A Google User: Not configurable There's no way to specify how much to increase/decrease volume and no playlist support. The two things I needed in a remote. |
|
[2012-09-23] A Google User: um why is the extension a dll? cause your screenshots are of an ubuntu os, dlls are for windows guys........... cant get this to work for nothing, it would be nice to have a lil more depth to your instructions...... Also I have no extension folder for banshee 2.4.1 i do however have a plugin folder, but since the extension offered at your site is a dll and not an xml kinda useless, you might also want to note that ubuntu has completely changed its user folder setup and there is no lib folder either, atleast not as of 12.04....... |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: Excellent Just haven't worked out how to search. |
|
[2012-09-14] A Google User: Almost Great App The library seems extra buggy, it shows artists and albums that I used to have on my iPhone (never on my laptop). Weird? Also can't select a song on my phone that is outside of the currently selected artist or album on banshee. Otherwise I can browse by songs and works very well, cool volume control as well. A widget would be awesome an awesome addition. |
|
[2012-09-12] A Google User: Almost Perfect Works great to start/pause play, skip tracks, or even select songs from your library by artist, album, or from a list of all songs. However it doesn't support rating information or playlists. So close to perfect, but just a few features short. |
|
[2012-08-31] A Google User: Functionality lost since ubuntu 12.04 Super app, only since ubuntu 12.04, database sync does not work any more, neither does the volume control. The only thing that seems to work is displaying what is playing |
|
[2012-08-29] A Google User: Works just good! I am not an expert Linux user but I got through quite easily and with satisfaction! Ubuntu 12.04 |
|
[2012-08-28] A Google User: Simple Very basic, yes, but does exactly what I needed it for. Give this man a biscuit! |
|
[2012-08-21] A Google User: Get the latest version Get v5.1.1 from the developers site. Works MUCH better, playlists, etc. No tinkering as well. Works with latest version of Banshee as well. |
|
[2012-08-10] A Google User: Sweet Exactly what I was hoping for. Extra points for the volume control via buttons, clever. |
|
[2012-08-10] A Google User: Best app ever! (since airdroid) |
|
[2012-08-04] A Google User: Please add song rating support! Otherwise it's great. |
|
[2012-07-26] A Google User: Nice App For me this app would be perfect with a UI that fit in more with the overall android style. If you don't care about such things this app perfectly fills it's functional role and you should start using it immediately. |
|
[2012-07-21] A Google User: it works! very useful Had a bit of an issue with firewall and ports (8484 & 7), but that behind it's a very useful app. Would love to see it optimized for Jelly Bean and a tablet UI. |
|
[2012-06-21] A Google User: Works perfect Amazing, works perfect over wi-fi hotspot! Love it! |
|
[2012-06-17] A Google User: Great app! Would be cool to have an ability to tell it to always sit in a notification bar, so that I could access it anytime... Great app, thanks! |
|
[2012-06-17] A Google User: Works perfectly! Now I can control my music from anywhere in my house... Just works. Simple, no BS. |
|
[2012-06-14] A Google User: works very well once set up This works very well but I can only move within whatever album I have selected on my banshee device. If I have it on "all albums" I can smoothly switch though. |
|
[2012-06-11] A Google User: Works great Just needs ability to add currently playing song to playlist |
|
[2012-06-05] A Google User: Thank you! I've been searching for an app like this forever. Thanks! |
|
[2012-05-16] A Google User: Awesome app I must admit... Love this app. Thanks. I think u ahoul support help page within app itself..anyways its beauty. |
|
[2012-05-05] A Google User: Works very well Thanks for this app. Using it on an Xperia Active. |
|
[2012-05-04] A Google User: Looks great but has unreliable library function. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem but I can't select anything through the library interface. I'm also having problems syncing the library. If I make a change on banshee it doesn't seem to reflect that change through this app, I tried resyncing but the old version of the library was still there. Everything else seems to work. |
|
[2012-05-03] A Google User: Good Works fine. Needs more features though. |
|
[2012-03-26] A Google User: Amazing Simply amazing! |
|
[2012-03-22] A Google User: Awesome, but need ratings! This is an awesome app, and what would make it much more awesome would be to set song ratings through the app. Also, my friend pointed out that this is not secure as anybody in the LAN can access banshee. But since I trust all in my secure LAN, that's fine. Awesome job! |
|
[2012-03-21] A Google User: bashee remote works flawless! |
|
[2012-03-19] A Google User: Exactly what it says on the tin! I have a Dell Mini 9 with Peppermint 2 and Banshee 2, and an LG Doubleplay with Gingerbread and I can attest that this app does exactly as promised. I am going to try to convince my parents to switch to Linux on their media PCs just so they can have an easy remote control like this one for their music. (Not that this is the only reason to switch to Linux on a media PC, haha) |
|
[2012-02-24] A Google User: Good but not used Follow your instruction but the result "host unreachable". Banshe run on oneiric x64 with 2.2.1 version. Have opening 8484 port in my desktop |
|
[2012-02-16] A Google User: Needs a little polish, but the app is fantastic! |
|
[2012-01-28] A Google User: great Works perfectly. Clean interface. I love it. |
|
[2012-01-25] A Google User: Really responsive. Thanks :) |
|
[2012-01-22] A Google User: Great app!!! Works perfect!! |
|
[2012-01-20] A Google User: Great app ! Very fast, just remember to install banshee plugin from the app website and open port 8484 and 7 TCP. Opensuse 12.1 x64 HTC desire. |
|
[2012-01-11] A Google User: Works great Sometimes it is a bit slow when you try to change the volume. |
|
[2012-01-08] A Google User: Great app here is the firewall rules it needs If you are on Ubuntu these are the UFW rules you will need sudo ufw allow from 10.0.0.0/24 to any port 8484 sudo ufw allow from 10.0.0.0/24 to any port 7 Relplace 10.0.0.0 with your lan ip range |
|
[2012-01-07] A Google User: Slow response. Progressbar skip doesn't work. Can't browse library. Unnecessary vertical scrollbar. Doesn't load some cover art. Bad icons for volume. |
|
[2012-01-07] A Google User: Brilliant! Works great, ubu 11.10 & droid razr |
|
[2011-12-31] A Google User: Fantastic Took a little tinkering to get root access but is awesome once you get it to work. Can banshee do air tunes cause that would be awesome!! |
|
[2011-12-21] A Google User: Sweet! Awesome app! :-) Artist/Album/Track search wod be a nice addition. |
|
[2011-12-03] A Google User: Brilliant... but Works great... the select media function by artist album or song sometimes works, sometimes doesn't... would benefit from having a lock screen widget |
|
[2011-12-02] A Google User: Features request.... Wish list.... Banshee remote is an awesome app. But to be truly practical it should support: (in order of importance): Play lists: Play an existing playist in Banshee; Play queue: (add songs/albums/artists to queue; deleting items from queue) Then this app could really allow to remote control music from android tablet or phone. |
|
[2011-11-25] A Google User: Perfect! This will make teaching just a bit easier. |
|
[2011-10-26] A Google User: Great app! Lightweight and works great. Running it in Xubuntu 11.10 from my thunderbolt. Very nice, simple GUI. |
|
[2011-10-25] A Google User: Very nice Works very well on my SF. Particularly enjoy the library interface. Only thing I would say is that it would be nice to have visual feedback when changing the volume, but that's probably just me being picky.. |
|
[2011-10-23] A Google User: Install takes no time Works perfectly on Galaxy Prevail 2.2 and Ubuntu 11.10, great app! |
|
[2011-10-19] A Google User: Great app installed it on my EVO 3d, works well on Ubuntu 11.10 just wish there was controls for video too other then that best remote media app |
|
[2011-10-10] A Google User: Super! Amazing remote control! Does great! Thanks! |
|
[2011-09-29] A Google User: Easy to set up and use Really, waiting for new features |
|
[2011-09-28] A Google User: Almost perfect Works great! You need to allow port 7 as well like the other commenters said |
|
[2011-09-20] A Google User: Banshee remote review Thank you, works brilliantly |
|
[2011-09-18] A Google User: Great app for controlling music Works fine, just needs a widget to be perfect. |
|
[2011-09-15] A Google User: Nice app. If you have firewall issues, make sure the TCP ports 7 and the remote port (8484 by defalt) are open. |
|
[2011-08-29] A Google User: website dead! Website link doesn't work. Somebody let the developer know! I can't see the instructions! |
|
[2011-08-26] A Google User: Brilliant! The automatic pause on incoming call is a really nice touch. |
|
[2011-08-24] A Google User: great app really good for lazy people like me XD |
|
[2011-08-08] A Google User: Works great on arch linux & droid x 2.3. Do have to connect phone to the computer's wifi, it would be nice to be able to use 3g. Great app anyway. |
|
[2011-08-06] A Google User: Occasional force close, but otherwise fantastic. thank you very much |
|
[2011-08-06] keith: Occasional force close, but otherwise fantastic. thank you very much |

|
[2011-07-10] A Google User: Open port 7 along with the port you intend to use. This app is simply amazing. I had to learn what root access is. Also learned how to open and close ports on my computer and why Linux is awesome. Through this app I learned a lot more about my computer which is great for me to start college in the fall. Awesome app minus the fiddling there should be a Q&A forum for it. |
