Altough there was one thing I had some trouble with:
I'm running it on XAMPP on a Windows Server (my media center is running on Ubuntu on a separate machine) and so I was trying to get the wake on lan to function.
I couldn't get it to work, even though I entered the correct information in config.php and I was able to wake the machine using another utility (WolCmd).
Finally I had a look at the wakeup function in includes\classes\modules\xbmc\xbmc.php and I found the call: socket_sendto($s, $msg, strlen($msg), 0, "255.255.255.255", $socket_number)
If I replace the general broadcast address 255.255.255.255 with my network specific broadcast address 192.168.1.255 it works like a charm.
Maybe it has something to do with my network configuration, but I thought I should let you know.
Yes it has your router doesn't want to broadcast to ALL intern networks (though I don't think you are using VLAN's). Therefore the "magic packet" (or wake on lan packet) won't be pushed to your PC.
Also I have to know the network mask to "calculate" the specific broadcast address, don't think lots of users know what it is , but I will create a config entry in which you can give a specific broadcast address in my next release
Btw, sorry to keep you all waiting, I'm trying to fix the image problem (it's more difficult than i thought (and with all the holidays I don't have much time to fix it)), but it will be here before next weekend.
Also I'm creating a TV plugin which you can find here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=4...post469175 it uses the MediaPortal TV Server to view your TV
@mkleynhans: If you are using IE6 mobile, you can use 0.5.0 alpha 1 (or prev builds), Also you can install Opera Mobile 10 beta ? for free on windows mobile, this is also working with my 0.5.0 a1 < versions. The upcoming release should also support WinMo Internet Explorer 6 mobile.
