I'm really new to XBMC, I've wanted to play with it for a while but haven't really had the need. Now it looks as though it's the perfect solution to many projects I have coming up.
Here's what I would like to do.
I have several videos on my Mac Mini that I am able to access through XBMC on my PC. I'm using an iPad remote system called iRule and am successfully controlling it through HTTP.
I need to be able to start any video at anytime. I'd like an image of the video as well as data that I will input. I'd like to be able to press the icon and the movie starts.
This is what I found on the Wiki page "PlayMedia(media[,isdir][,1],[playoffset=xx])" I feel like this is what I need but I have no idea how to put it together.
Here's an example of a command I'm using "192.168.1.55:8080xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=ExecBuiltIn(activatewindow(videolibrary,movietitles))"
What should it look like if I'm trying to access a shared file? Videos are on my Mac Mini.
