Having used JRemote for a while now I have some strong suggestions for the developers, these suggestions are made against a background of using the app for a while in comparison to the My Movies app and others that cost considerably less...

(1) It should play back .jtv files in the correct resolution as per MC, the only fix right now is to convert these to H.264 .ts files, Original .jtv files are from 16:9 DVB-T2 programs and they all display full screen with no options on the iPad at effectively 4:3 instead of letterboxed 16:9

(2) Movies should be sorted as per the MC scheme selected, due to certain movies names not always being a sensible sort order, My Movies has a sort name and I use this as the folder and .mkv filename and sort in MC on this making the lists perfect in all views, but JRemote only sorts movies on name.

(3) Likewise there is no other option to sort Home Movies other than by date, I would like to see them by name or album and possibly some other sensible options.

As I work through the app I am sure I will find other suggestions and if I do I will post here, thanks!

Unless I misssiong something, your numbers 2&3 you shoulod be able to do what you want.  You do know that the views you see are not Views from the standard mode UI, right?. You can customize Remote Views via Options=>Media Network=>Advanced=>Cutomoze views for JRemote.

aaaah... you are quite correct and I was not aware of that option, feel a bit of an idiot! Thanks very much for pointing out how I can sort out option 2&3, very good!

Still struggling with item (1), can't find a good solution, saving in .ts format gives lip sync issues, saving in .jtv means playback is with wrong aspect ratio on JRemote and DLNA server! Manual conversion ok but time consuming and 5.1 sound lost....
