This sounds and looks awesome! I'm going to ask a question now that will make me sound dumb;
Do you install this on your computer or on your DreamPi?

Reason being that I don't hook my Pi up to my TV, but would still love to see the info, however if it's done on the Pi it might give me reason to (I don't see a point in checking black and white text whereas this is visual and useful).

It's alright, i don't mind answering. This software is for your computers, not your actual DreamPi. Available is Windows, MacOS X and Linux flavors.

Sounds cool! I downloaded it, but I'm at work so I'll have to wait until later to connect it to my Dreampi

Thank you, very much! Make sure you use the latest release, so that you can click on players and view their library of games.

Problem: It requires an IP address of at least 11 characters, but my Dreampi has a 10 character IP

Perhaps. Phones have many different resolutions, so a complete re-write of the interface would have to be done. Also writing touch support will need to happen. I'll consider it, at least for android.

I'll push a fix for this in about 12 minutes.
