Remote control - ginger - 2009-04-24
Hello,
I've been working on a remote control and have hit a snag. I can use the Action command via URL to control XBMC. Here's the problem. If I am asked if I would like to resume say a movie from the last known position, the web server in XBMC refuses any more commands until its acknowledged. If I use a controller / or mouse to answer the resume question everything works again.
Question is: If I use the event server instead of http commands will I hit the same problems?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I can't really give you a clear answer to you question. There are other code projects that do use the http commands.
I work on the XBMControl project located at http://code.google.com/p/xbmcontrol/ this code does use the http api commands.
You may want to look at the code there to get some ideas.
Enjoy

there are several projects that act like "remote controls" both using http & event commands.

Thanks Kabooga for your reply. I've tested the api commands now on both XBMC 9.04 running in windows and a slightly earlier version running on an original xbox. Same problem on both. I guess if no one else is having problems then the events server is the answer.
