talking of xbmccontroldesktop.exe.config, i would like to fix the http standard non-compliance in the goahead web server that requires the use of this config file. i am in a position to fix the problem but i can't see what the problem is with the headers. the headers that are causing the problem are:
http/1.0 200 ok
server: goahead-webs
pragma: no-cache
cache-control: no-cache
content-type: text/html
does anyone have any suggestions of what is causing the problem?

not sure about the header, but check docs about that error on msdn they probably have info on how it's supposed to look.
just a entry bar in which you could give the url that the playfile instruction gets would be really nice i think. i have that situation quite often that i find a stream on the net that i'd like to view in xbmc, but i'm to lazy to create a strm file and put in a location where the xbox can see it.

download xbmccontrol.zip from the sf link at the start of this thread. unzip (retaining folder structure) and the files that need to be copied to your pocketpc are in the root of the folder you unzipped to.
you will also find in the zip a second zip file which is the desktop version.

just uploaded v0.97 which adds 'play clipboard' command to the desktop version. see the readme file but basically copying the name of a stream or a file to the clipboard and using the new command will start xbmc playing the stream/file.

ok this is serious! i followed what you told me, word for word, and im gonna tell you step by step what happened:
downloaded the xbmccontrol.zip from the link provided (version 0.97)
read your post and put my ip in place of xbox on the link and it worked. it told me what song is play presently.
i unzipped the xbmccontrol.zip and extracted xbmccontrol desktop into "new folder" on my desktop (just to test it)
then i opened xbmccontroldesktop.exe and i get a messege saying "xbmccontrol.ini.txt should be checked - using default values" xbmccontrol.ini.txt appears in the folder cause it wasn't there before.
i open xbmccontrol.ini.txt with notepad and replace 'xbox' with my ip and now it looks like:
xboxip=192.168.0.54
root=mp3s=f:\music\main\
root=videos=f:\music\video\
bypasscache=false
wipeimagereview=false
wipefolders=false
savetofolder_jpg=false
autostartplaylist=true
autocheckclipboard=false
checkperiod=10
streamprotocol=mms:|
streamext=.asf|
i try it again and it says 'talking to xbox' for a moment then says 'loading media list' then a prompt come up saying "could not retrieve files list from xbmc. check the network and xbmc settings." then it goes off line.
so i check my xbmc settings and i have it set as a webserver on port 80 with no pass and ftp server is on too. while im doing all of this, im playing a playlist of songs on an smb share. my network shouldn't have any problems cause i can access everything from any program from my xbox with my setup. never had a problem with my network at all.
i have march 21 cvs build so its not an old version issue.no matter what build i try, its the same problem. :help:

incognegro: have you checked that the two roots in your xbmccontroldesktop.ini.txt file are pointing to folders that exist on your xbox? i think this is the problem.
just going offline isn't the most obvious error message - i'll change this in the next version.

i have a small request, it would be great if these two asp-commands also existed like http-api-commands:
xbmccfgbookmarksize(type)
xbmccfggetbookmark(type, "name/path", position)
then you could get a list of all the bookmarks (and their path) without creating a asp-page to get it from.

firstly sorry for my ignorance but i've just quickly viewed this post coz its linked from the changelog for the new cvs (2005-04-01) which i've just installed.
looking at the screen shots from the first post it looks like an impressive piece of kit, good work.
i'm guessing this will not work on my palm tungsten t5 or will it? also is there any way to access the gui from a pc (if so whats the url)?
many thanks
