Hi all,
Sorry if this has been discussed before but I've been searching for a while now and to no avail. I installed xbmc on a new Ubuntu Lucid installation and enabled the web interface. Now I can access the interface from my laptop (on the same network) but I can't figure out how to do anything with it...
I don't know if this is what it's supposed to look like first of all. I've attached a screenshot of the web interface. Now, I can browse my library, but none of the files are clickable. I can't play or queue them. I don't know what I'm missing!
On the now playing screen I see my current playlist, but again, I can't really do anything with it other than click one to start it playing immediately. But I still need to create the queue in xbmc. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Alternatively, can someone help me install a new skin for the web interface? I'm thinking maybe a different skin will work better. Unfortunately, after exhaustive searches, I can't find a single workable skin. For example, I downloaded the "Confluence" skin and the instructions say "replace your project mayhem folder". Well, I don't have a project mahem folder. In my styles folder, I just have "Rapier". And skins with .asp files don't seem to work because I'm on linux. Does anyone have a working linux skin?
And if so, can you upload your entire web folder? This is driving me crazy.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
