I'm not pretending to be an expert and do like to be corrected so I can learn Smile I didn't know the XBMC license was anything other then GPLv2 and I should start reading to understand what the + means.

This is what one of the XBMC developers wrote on the ExtJs topic on 13-08-2009 (not sure who as I've quoted it in my mail to the ExtJs employee without naming the author)

Quote:It is not a question of cost for the license but an issue with license compatibility.
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq....lCompatibility

Well for starters XBMC as a GPLv2 project can not use code that is licensed under GPLv3, or any other code that is not compatible with GPLv2.

Also by principle (see FLOSS) XBMC should not depend on any code, libraries, or frameworks that are closed source and/or do not permit royalty free use for both commercial and non-commercial use, (remember that forks of XBMC can be commercial, so people/companies should be able to pre-install XBMC for commerial purposes without having to pay a royalty fee).

One thing I have learned about using licensed software is to be careful.

For a non-profit open source environment the issues are not large. When an attempt for profit is made on a codebase then licensing becomes a much larger and potentially costly issue. The discussion mentioned was about how the ExtJS licensing would affect any commercial fork of XBMC. At that time the ExtJS licensing was confusing. I think since then the ExtJS open source license has been made GPL v3.

Well license, admitely, isn't my strong suite either. Its a mess to get right Smile

Not sure when that quote was from because XBMC was only GPLv2 a while back and has since been made 2+ compliant (afaik). And GPLv2 is not compatible with v3, but 2+ is. So that quote could be regarding when we were explicitly v2.

But yeah, licenses is a mess and one should tread lightly around them, but I think its safe here. Hopefully another, more knowledgable can shine a light on it Smile

any update on porting this to the latest web services?


- Kabooga - 2010-05-27

I am working through the API changes right now. I've submitted a request for an extra API call (GetGenres).

The progress is moving along pretty well. I think I'll have the Audio section done within a week.

Is this Windows only?


- Kabooga - 2010-07-01

This is not Windows only.

It should be able to work with Linux, or Mac. I do have some bug reports from Linux users though.

Thanks for the reply.

I copied the XBMControl_Web folder over to my XBMC box and when I go to open default.asp it just opens as a text file. Any ideas?


- ant_thomas - 2010-07-15

Bump!!

Any ideas?


- Kabooga - 2010-07-16

Hmm....

Check what are you typing into your browser as the address?
(For example: http://localhost:8080/XBMControl_Webv2/default.html)

Secondly please make sure the XBMC network functionality is turned on.
In XBMC -> System->Network->Services->Allow Control of XBMC....
In XBMC -> System->Network->Internet Access->Use an HTTP proxy....

Also, make sure the port numbers used in you XBMC setup are included in your browsers address. (See above example).

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Kabooga

I have the same problem in firefox, not in IE


- RXP91 - 2010-07-20

Same with me, but with Chrome. Works fine in my IE though.


- Kabooga - 2010-07-22

Thanks for the heads up. I'll try Chrome and Firefox.

Is this on Windows or another OS?

Thanks again,

Kabooga.


- Auke - 2010-07-24

Windows for me..

Thanx Kabooga

Also there is a problem with starting some audio formats. I have no more information right now, but if you want i can get that. Please let me know which info is needed.


- Kabooga - 2010-07-26

Fixed the issue with Chrome and FireFox on the Dharma branch.

I merely changed the name of default.asp to default.html.

Tested with Firefox and it works now.

New version is 1.37.

Cheers.
