Apple released Remote 2.0, which doesn’t work with forked-daapd. We are looking into it and trying to find out what the problem is. There are also more changes needed to support Remote 2.0 properly, so this will take some time.
Remote 2.0 also introduces support for the iPad, with very different features and new requests. I don’t have an iPad, so this won’t be supported.
For now, you should stick to the old version of Remote (1.3.3) until we get 2.0 working, at which point we’ll probably pull support for the previous version in an attempt to maintain everybody’s and the codebase sanity.
In other news, I have a few changes pending that I want to get in before I cut a new release.
