I've just released XBMC Buddy for Windows Phone, a port of XBMC Buddy for Windows
EDIT: By 'for Windows' I mean modern Windows 8 app...Windows 8+ / RT.
What is XBMC Buddy?
Find an online video (or audio) in an app/website (e.g. a Youtube clip), then share it to XBMC Buddy, which sends the link to XBMC, which will then stream the media. XBMC Buddy can receive hyperlinks from any app that is designed to share links (e.g. IE, Youtube apps).
There is a free trial with limited use of the share functionality but unlimited use of the standard app features. Price is US$1.49, which includes both the Windows Phone and Windows PC/tablet versions (once you own one version you can download the other from the applicable store for free).

Sorry, the app doesn't work on versions of Windows Phone below 8.1. If you have WP8.0 you should be able to upgrade to 8.1 either now or soon.
Quick setup/troubleshooting:
Please post here for feature requests, help, comments, etc., but note I have no control over what other apps can share content to XBMC Buddy. The Windows Phone share feature relies on apps being programmed to share data out.

Quick setup/troubleshooting:
- allow HTTP control of your XBMC device
- if you have a password/username it's easier to troubleshoot if you temporarily remove these
- only use numbers and dots in the IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.100)
