Hi there,

Is there any addon or anything for XBMC Live that I could use to log into the instance of XBMC?

Thank you

You can use a web interface for basic playlist manipulation and library viewing.

I also believe you can use VLC.

lol vnc, sorry

I use x11vnc

Thanks for this, I installed but this seems to be identical to using something like putty? Just an remote SSH command tool? Are you able to actually see the XBMC using this NX CLient? Am i missing something?

Thank you

Thank you I got this working.

Do you happen to know how to make it run automatically all the time when XBMC live boots up?

it really depends what you want to achieve (you haven't said it so far in a clear and comprehensive manner), perhaps you can tell me what you are expecting to do and I may be able to steer you in the right direction.

Hi there

I actually used X11VNC and got it to do exactly what I wanted which is to essentially see XBMC and be able to move around install plugins using a VNC viewer.

The only thing now is I am not sure how to make it run x11vnc on startup with XBMCLive?

I tried commands like


But doesn't seem to work after a reboot?

Any suggestions anyone?

Thank you

yea contact the developers of that program and ask them, any half decent program should autostart. You could also try to create a upstart job for that, google is your friend.
