Hi all,
I put together a little script to control XBMC from iTunes. This will let you use iTunes DJ, iTunes Remote, or Tunes Remote for Android to control your media center.
My setup is a Windows fileserver running iTunes and an XBox running XBMC. XBMC accesses the iTunes library via SMB.
Setting it up:
Install Ruby on Windows
Install the xbmc gem: gem install xbmc
If you get an error on the step above, run this then try again: gem sources -a http://gemcutter.org
Get this script, edit to suit, and save as intune.rb
Run 'ruby intune.rb'
The xbmc gem is pretty basic right now, if anyone needs additional functions let me know or fork it on GitHub and add it yourself. It should be pretty easy to make an AppleScript version of the intunes script if you don't run Windows.
