When I try to browse to the machine with the ip and port 8080 i don't get a response. I also don't see anything listed when I do lsof from the command line. Am I missing something?I don't use the Live Distro, so I'm not positive, but from what I've heard, you'll need to do essentially the same settings as you would with the others. From inside XBMC, go to "Settings" -> "Network" and turn on ALL of the following options (WARNING: Some skins apparently hide a few of these, so change to default skin if you don't see these, than you can change back when you are done):
Ok now I can see port 8080 listening and I can browse to the machine's ip:8080 locally but it still fails from my iPad.

I agree this would be a great addition (for example, on my Windows setup, the File section essentially lists the directory structure of my "C:" drive without being able to access the other drives). For the time being, if you haven't already looked into it, there's a plug in (I think it's in the official XBMC Repo) called "XBMC Library Auto Update" that you can configure to do either (or both) video and music libraries and set a timer for it to run automatically if you leave the system on. This will initiate a normal scan that should pick up your missing media and you can even manually run it when you know there's stuff it's missing. I even took it a step further and created an option on the home menu (in Aeon MQ3 skin) that gives easy access to run on demand.
What I would really like is a custom menu button that can link to a location on my file system. e.g. /media/externaldrive/movies/new/
The problem is that sometimes new items aren't in my library (yet), so I need to navigate to them and that can be quite a few clicks.
If it's no big deal, I would be very grateful.

My suggestion would be to grab whatever the latest version of YouTube is from the official XBMC Repo and ALSO from your iPad/iPhone, download the YouTube app from the AppStore. Again, without more details of your current setup, etc. I'm unsure, but when I was showing off Constellation to a friend of mine that I just built an HTPC for, his iPad complained and I realized he didn't have the YouTube app, after installing that everything was fine. (Granted, I then had to spend like 2 days teaching him how to use his first ever Apple device and show him different apps to get for his needs.)
I have XBMC Dharma 10.1 and your application but I do not have to run the plugin "youtube" I have every time:
script error ...
I tried the version 2.1.2, 2.1.3 and 2.7.0
each time the same message. What version do you use with your application?
