Hi Guys,

I used to use xbmc. I have no returned and it is still fantastic.

Question

I remember being able to access the xbmc from a pc and get the whole xbmc screen up. Once up I could manage the xbmc including setting up the shares, movies and tv.

What i mean is - my girlfriend is watching tv and the xbmc which is running on the apple tv is also on. now instead of me having to disrupt her viewing can i access the apple tv from the pc upstairs so i can change movie details and such? basically like vnc for xbmc?

I am using xbmc on appletv one
I think you would need to access the entire device remotely, but I have been successfully using filezilla to ssh into my atv and am able to access folders, move, delete and the like. Hope this helps.

Just found this, looks like it may be right up your alley.
