Full Version: control xbmc through ip

I am trying to find a way to control xbmc from my xoom through a thinkflood redeye wifi remote controller. It is capable of controlling devices either by wifi to ir, script control, and ip commands. Is there a way to do this or possiblt with eventghost? And if with eventghost how would I set the ip commands to link to the xbmc plugin for eventghost?
Why not just use the xbmc remote app on your xoom via wifi? Its great, it displays cover art, allows text input via android keyboard, wake on LAN and more...
Because I am using a Redeye and its ability is ip commands so that I can integrate everything into one remote device
If you forward port 8080 to your XBMC box on your router, it should work. (I think it's 8080... pretty sure).
Ok well I can now run the command in a browser and it states "ok" in the browser window but nothing on the xbmc changes. This is the line I sent.
"http://xxx.xxx.0.xxx/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=Action;10002"
Doesn't it need the port?

eg

Code:
http://xxx.xxx.0.xxx:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=Action;10002
inside xbmc it says port 80 I tried it with port 80 like you have port 8080 and it actually came back with an error
if I am not mistaken - isnt this type of control of xbmc being deprecated for a JSON solution?

I believe this is correct.
