Thanks for the feedback Nick.  I logged a ticket on the devs website and 
he suggested a few things to try.  In the end I updated to the latest 
version released a couple of days ago and it fixed my problems.  Now it 
launches and connects immediately.  When I downgrade the issue reappears.

As for mythdroid, I quite like that app too.  But to get it to work you 
have to perform what I consider to be a hack by inserting an application 
in between mythfrontend and the lcdserver.  I don't think I've done this 
correctly which is why I can't perform some of the functions on the remote.

As for XBMC remote I got that working correctly the other day and it is 
quite awesome.  Do you use the myth:// protocol or mythbox plugin or 
other?  I quite like the mythbox plugin but I have playback issues and I 
wonder if it is because I need a LATM-patched ffmpeg.
