Here is a weird one for you.
I would like to be able to load/access the following URL from within XBMC:
Why? Well, I'm lazy in the extreme. The Movies item in the URL is actually a 2TB drive attached to my iMac which is in the basement. I keep the drive powered on but unmounted on my iMac, and when I want to view media from XBMC I need to mount the drive, which would mean going down to the basement and mounting the drive.
I therefore wrote a shell script on my mac which is called via the URL above, which tells diskutil to mount / umount the drive depending on it's current state.
What I want to know is if there is any way to issue that URL from with XBMC, therefore getting the drive to mount / unmount without having to resort to using a browser.
Currently I use my iPhone to access the URL which mounts / unmount's the drive.
