I developed a heads-up version of control for XBMC (HTTP) within the AMX world sometime ago and have been using it with multiple clients for well over a year now. Lately I've been messing around with the JSON protocol in an attempt to create a head-less version of the module, and so far I like what I see however I do have some concerns/requests.
For instance when doing a GetDirectories it would be great to have a parameter that allows to request only directories, only files, or both. Currently the response is rather clunky.
I can also offer insight to what a typical AV client/server solution would include in terms of protocol (queries, system calls, etc).
I feel that the XBMC environment is nothing short of amazing, however from a high-end AV integration stand point it appears a bit stunted. My connections within this forum are none existant as I've only recently posted much of anything, however moving forward I would love to make a larger contribution. That said if there are any persons working within the development environment who would like to team up in this effort please let me know.
