i, for one, suggest php usability in the web control thing. i know php is very powerful, open-source, and slick. you can do lots of stuff with it, and i would be very happy to see php capabilities within xbmc's web server thingy.

[darkie]

php won't be added. instead we have already python which you can use in the webserver (this is done through spyce).
have a look on http://spyce.sourceforge.net/ to see how you can use it

[olen]

this is so great news.
at least "hello world" works.

all i have to do now is find ot how to combine spyce and xbmccommand() and i guess we could make some awesome web applications....

[Livin]

please, please :bowdown:

1) make it so that the http interface so it can control all functions of xbmc

2) have a mode as to where the http commands are classified in two ways...
a) independant of the tv output interface
b) "remote control" the tv interface

explaination...

i'd like to be able to control xbmc in three ways, all at the same time:

1) from the tv screen using the xbox controller and/or ir remote

2) from the web page - so the tv screen does not change when sending commands from the web pages

3) from the web page - have it so that my control of the web page makes the tv screen change or "follow along" with the commands i send it. this will allow me to send http commands from my touchscreen interface and use it as a gui remote control... like a pronto.

interested to hear what the xbmc dev team thinks?

hi!

in web server mode:

in a folder you have an album's tracks as mp3s. you click on the first track. then, only the first track is played back and music stops.

in xbmc gui, when you select an mp3 in a folder, xbmc continues to play the rest of the files.

could the web server mode function alike?

thanks

i am very new to the xbmc scene and i have done a celebratory can of gas over the ehternet based dvd player ritual as a mark of my admiration for this project :bowdown:

i would love to see the ability to turn down the volume from the web interface .. no need to scream upstairs telling them pesky ones to turn the tv down or 'oooh i love this song' and crank it up when i am somewhere else in the house from a web pad. thats about all i can ask for cos it is just too great as it is.. switching on the xbox for me is like christmas every day :-)

it would be real nice to see every function that you see on the main gui also be available on the web interface.. but i know that is a lot to ask. many thanks to all involved.

broadcasting tunes?

i do a lot of custom home audio installations. the xbmc is the perfect way to set up an entire home sharing media.

but... yamaha has a product called music cast. similar to the xbmc it has a gui displaying all the music stored in it's hard drive. what makes it truely unique is it's ability to "broadcast" music to it's sub units in other rooms in sync. in short you can sit in the main living room, choose an audio file and tell the center to play it on any or all units in the house. this is great for parties and it saves running audio cables to other rooms just to pipe music into them when cat5 is already there.

could this feature be incorporated into the xbmc? the ability to not only control the media, but to play it in sync with the pc controlling it.

in the webinterface i think that it would be nice with two links for each file object
one for letting the xbox display the pic the other displaying the picture on webinterface
the same would be nice to have when browsing vids and mp3
this should not be a big task!?!

this would be a nice way to get stuff stored on xbmc to laptops and mobile devices like pda.

i think that many people would have use for this function!!!
i would use it 15-times a day..... (i connect to home network via vpn and listen to mp3 stored om my server.... if i could move the entire mediastore to my xbox it would be great!!!

plz plz plz plz!!!!

tell me what u think!!!!

if anyone could help me with the xbox part of this i propably could do the webserver work with ease....... but that is not the big part right??

sinse the webserver can acess files on the hdd of the xbox the only thing would be to link the media to the link.....
easy programming huge gain 4 users like me and at least a couple of my friends......

merry x-mas!!!!!!!

just an idea..

to have a "play on xbox" on the right click menu of all video files, which will play the file on the xbox.

when you clicked it, it would open a url on the xbox webserver, and tell it the folder/filename and the sharefolder its in. the xbox will then play the file.

i'm not sure how this would react if you had 2 files with the same name.

this could also be done for audio files.

1) when i select a song to play, it automatically turns off the visuilaziation, if one is running. likewise, i have a plasma tv and really don't want to run across the room to hit a button on the controller just to start the viz again.
a. don't mess with what's on-screen (viz) when selecting something over http
b. add a link somewhere to turn on/off the viz
c. the screensaver, for now, have an option to let it be the viz instead of mearly dimming the screen

2) please make the http interface use relative urls instead of absolute urls!
example: i've got an apache server here with my own domain, and through vhosting i have my own "dev" vhost. so i go and open up http://dev....com/xbox/ and bam, there's my xbmc. thing is, every link, everything points to "/url", which comes out in my browser to [url=http://dev...com/url"]"http://dev...com/url"[/url] instead of "[url]http://dev....com/xbox/url"[/url] which it should be. this is a very simple fix and would be amazingly appreciated. simply remove the leading / on all the urls. please? =) (yes, i could make another vhost, say, xbox.dev....com, and it would "work", but not nearly as nicely as this.)

[kraqh3d]

re #2, this is defined in the default.asp file. just change the href urls to remove the leading slash. that should make them all relative.

[ScytheBlade1]

ah, thank you much. =)

i need an area to paste the url of a shoutcast station in the web interface. so i dont have to ftp a .strm file, turn on tv, use remote control etc. to listen to the radio station.

just ftp it to your xbox lol, or save it to your shared folder, then have xbox access it.... i easily do that all the time.

[slizzap]

didn't see this on the list...and not even sure if this is a function or a skin addition. i was surprised to find there's no way to load a playlist from the web server. i can load up a playlist directly on the xbox then login to the web server and view that playlist, but i can't actually select another playlist from the web server. any word on if this is going to be implemented eventually?

also, not as big of a deal, but when you view the playlist through the web server you can't tell what's currently playing. that would be another nice addition.

keep up the great work.
