Customer

In the evolving landscape of multimedia entertainment, users around the globe were seeking intuitive and efficient ways to control and enhance their media playback experiences. With the rise of software-based media players, particularly XBMC (now known as Kodi), there was a growing demand for a remote control solution that could seamlessly integrate with these platforms and offer a user-friendly interface.

Challenge

While XBMC was gaining traction as a popular media player, there was a noticeable gap in the market for a dedicated remote control application tailored for iOS users. The challenge was to create an app that not only provided remote control capabilities but also enhanced the overall user experience (UX) by offering additional features that complemented the core functionalities of XBMC.

Solution

XBMC Constellation emerged as the answer to this challenge. It was our first iOS application with a global reach, offered in a freemium model. The app quickly garnered a stellar reputation among users in the burgeoning market of software-based media players. To further enhance the UX, we introduced our proprietary add-on for XBMC, enabling users to scrape the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) from online sources and browse a local database of recordings. This ensured that users had access to a wealth of information about their media, right at their fingertips.

The application, meticulously crafted in Objective-C, provided users with remote control capabilities over XBMC. But we didn’t stop there. Recognizing the potential to offer even more, we developed a plugin for XBMC and designed our own online EPG scraper. This comprehensive approach ensured that XBMC Constellation was not just a remote control app but a holistic multimedia companion.

Results

The introduction of XBMC Constellation revolutionized the way users interacted with XBMC. The app’s seamless integration, combined with its additional features, made it a must-have for XBMC enthusiasts. Feedback from the user community was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising its intuitive design, enhanced features, and the added value it brought to their media playback experience. XBMC Constellation’s success is a testament to the importance of understanding user needs and innovating to provide solutions that not only meet but exceed those needs.
