i have made a small windows application that can control xbmp or xbmc by sending commands to the webserver.

taka a look at my homepage for the application (with screenshots and all):

http://www.geocities.com/grundir4/xbmr/


features that i would like to see in the webserver (to be able to improve my program, and make the webinterface more useful):

-be able to retrieve the current playlist (and play songs from it)
-find out which song/file that is currently playing
-set volume

it would also be nice if you could get some kind of id or path of the song/file, so that you don't have to go to that files directory "manually" if you want to play the song right away, i.e. just call /xbmpcmds/xbmpform?command=playfile&fileid=345 or something like that if you know what i mean. but maybe that's not possible cause of the way that xbmc is built i don't know, just wanted to ask.

i would like those also. it would make it easier to use xbox to play back music for instance.

especially if one is often at another computer or other computers often, with a web browser. and if one doesn't have a remote...

you should perhaps try working closer with xmbc as well as putting up your program
