g'day all
i know that there is the web interface and i have used it quite a lot, but this got me thinking about how to integrate the xbox into the medai management side of my automation system.
i currently use a product called charmed quark (aka cqc). this is similar to say an amx/crestron/homeseer etc system. it has quite good media management capabilities along with the automation side of things (integration into lots of hardware from dvd players to alarm panels and lighting systems).
anyway, what i want to know is would it be possible for such a system to be able to interface to the xbox via the ethernet and control the box.
by control i mean, there would be a respositry on the server which tells cqc where the movie (or mp3) is. this in turn displays the cover art and transport controls on the gui of the pc or tablet being used. pressing the cover art or play for the selected movie then tell the xbox to play that movie (much like the way it works now from the screen within xbmc).
full transport control would also be wanted. i cant think of much else as it more is neede then you would go to the remote for the xbox and use it (such as playing games). i mainly use it for music, movies and tv shows downloaded.
any constructive comments would be greatly appreciated
