Hello Folks,

is this possible? I would like to browse my collection webserver style on a real webserver...no remote functionallity needed here.

Can someone give me advices how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance,

Axel
uhm.. why? you're gonna have a to have quite a lot of un, you have to remove all assumptions of 'serving host = xbmc host'. as such, it communicates with xbmc through api's (which require the webserver in xbmc anyways) so it should be doable. but i really don't see what you have to gain.
Let's just say it would be a nice-to-have feature...actually it is so I can access my database from work; I am doing this with an excel sheet right now. The webserver interface is just so much more beautiful - also I just like setting things up Wink

Ah, another thing. It is not important to have a "realtime" snapshot of the database. It would be okay to copy the database files to the webserver by hand
You want to set up apache with virtual hosts. Basically allows you to access your xbmc webserver through apache. The same can be done for sickbeard, couchpotato etc.

Ive posted my apache conf here:

MediaFrontPage can be used to access them all in one spot

OR just change xbmc's port to 80 and open/forward it on your router (or use anyother port eg 8080, open/forward it on your router and access it at http://yourip:PORT)

Or do you mean run it on a paid webhost?

Yep, that's it. Sorry for not making myself more clear.

The goal is to be able to access my database in the gorgeous webserver view from work when my PC is not running at home.
If you want to access the webserver xbmc needs to be running in some form.

If you just want a nice layout of your movies to show off then install ember and use the export html templates available.
Good luck with that. I would just use XWMM http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=60643 which can export your db to html page or excel like you already have.

+1 for craigd's comment. I havent tried export in embermm but I really like the other features of the app
Wheee. Didn't know about that! Thanks guys!
