Hi everyone,
I have been working on a web interface for a while now, and finally feel confident enough to post it on the forums.
So ... Here it is. Hope you like it!

Visualix is a fully responsive web interface for XBMC.

Thanks for you work! Looks really stunning! Nice ;-)
Will give it a try, when I'm at home.
Do you plan to also integrate a music panel into your web interface?
Maybe you can contact the developer of chorus:

That's another stunning looking web interface. But only for music....
Both projects together would be realy nice ;-)

I wasn't planning on adding music, for the simple reason that I don't use music at all.
Might add it in a future version though. I'll keep it in mind
Can you please add:
* queue button for movies and tv episodes
* play next unwatched quick-button for TV Shows (plays next unwatched from oldest season) and Seasons (plays next unwatched from this season)
* play next unwatched and queue all remaining unwatched button for TV Shows and Seasons

Not really, to be honest
What you could do is set debugging to true in main.js (in /App folder)
Then perhaps some more info about the issue will be available in your browser console.
same issue with chorus
seems there is an issue for that open at github
https://github.com/jez500/chorus/issues/3
could be the same solution gonna try it later atm im just configuring my new cubieboard that i got from china
i had this to initially with Chorus but now it works
simply beautiful and well done..
i have 3 requests:
1 for the search function, can you add years to the movies and add the show title to the episode search results
2 can there be an option to change the white background to a dark grey, the white is just a bit bright when in a dark room
3 center the recent items on the home screen
thanks, and again, nice work.

Did you do anything special to get it to work ?

1. Show title and movie year have been added to search results.
2. I'm looking into a way to easily save settings for the interface. When I find a decent way of doing this, layout options might be one of the changeable things in the skin. However, I'm not a fan of a dark background myself, so I won't change this in the default look.
3. Centering the items looks weird to me, to be honest, so I won't change this directly. If you really want the results centered, you could add
text-align: center; to the
.section class in the file css/visualix.min.js (around character nr. 3850)
Please drop the gui dependency from addon.xml
That should only apply to skins/scripts.
Do remember that there will be some differences between Frodo and gotham jsonrpc. You can detect which is being used by requesting the JSON-RPC version and act accordingly
I honestly love this thing. I'll hold off on too major feature requests ATM though, as I assume you're still implementing your own features. Out of curiosity though, do you ultimately plan on implementing things like a Now Playing control interface, or are you sticking primarily with search functionality?

Oke, thank you Martijn.

Thanks for the enthousiasm
My main focus was indeed browsing the library.
However, I do feel that a control interface is something that should be included in a future version. It would make it much more useful I think.
