I think he means the reverse, like streaming from the phone to XBMC. I thought about that too the other day and it would be indeed a nice idea.

OK, that sounds great but I meaning streaming from the phone to XBMC. My understanding of the current implementation is that this

Code:
http://xbox/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=PlayFile(http://myPhoneIp/sdcard/song.mp3)

Will not work. Using a .strm file is not a option in this case.
The source code changes for Implementing this shouldn't be to big. I was thinking Something like:

Code:
http://xbox/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=PlayUrl(http://myPhoneIp/sdcard/song.mp3)

Yeah I understood what you meant, the rest was just a fwiw and plain information (read: ramblings Smile

).

Why isn't the PlayFile command ok? it should surely read a http file perfectly? if it doesnt there is a bug.

Duh. Why don't you try it already, that saves us all time. We already do that in the remote app, BTW.

- Popeye - 2009-12-09

I'm sorry. What do you mean with "We already do that in the remote app, BTW. ", send a http link as file?

Yes.

How many movies do you have in your library?

About 250 in different folders and computers. Using xbmc on xbox if help you

Again Im sorry. It is working nice to include a http url for playing/streaming movies,music and images residing on my phone from my webserver app.

My idea was to have "show on xbmc" option when you select "share" when viewing images etc, maybe something for this app?

Thanks! - Juanflaco - 2009-12-10

Just a quick post to say thanks, installed the app on my Droid and it's working like a charm. Haven't tested all features but so far I'm very impressed. Slowly catching up on this thread and looking forward to seeing future revisions.

Yup that was also an idea I had. XBMC can do it, it's just the client's side that's missing here.

Fixed. I updated to the last build and added into sources.xml the lines

Code:
<source>

    <name>Library</name>

    <path>videodb://</path>

</source>

(dunno if this is needed) and now it is working like a charm

Lots of thanks for this great app

I can try to make a patch. Will make a prof of concept app first. I already have all the basic functions working.
