some news - slash - 2011-05-06 12:07

Hi everyone,

It has been a while (again) since I posted an update for XWMM. The thing is I've been working on many things.

- Porting XWMM to Eden and replacing all the old HTTP requests by JSON-RPC calls

- Helping the JSON-RPC dev team with new methods

- Fixing some bugs and a lot of code cleanup in XWMM

Hopefully, this will result in a new XWMM : faster and more featured.

I will still be working on bugs posted here, so keep the reports and the requests coming Wink

Thanks

Namely; ability to add local +/ web based images to movies in database as thumbs or fanart.

I think you said you planned to incorporate this many months ago...do you think it might still be possible?

I did work on that feature, unfortunately the old HTTP API does allow uploading local images (from the browser machine). That is one of the reasons I'm working on enhancing the new JSON-RPC API.

I'll keep you posted.

igitur Wrote:Slash,

I recently got my first HTPC running and I love the XWMM interface. However, I would like to suggest a few enhancements. I initially thought I'd fork the project for my own use, but I'd rather try to contribute back to the project.

I'm quite experienced with ExtJS myself, so I can jump right in. Can I post a list of enhancments on the Sourceforge bug list?

thanks,
Francois

Absolutely, I will be moving the project to github in the next weeks and it will be easier for you to contribute.

In the mean time, feel free to post at the sourceforge site.

Thanks in advance for your help

Am I right, Slash?

yep, XWMM queries the XBMC database, so you need the XBMC app. to be running.

I cool feature would be to use only the nfo files (implies a lot of coding).

Cool, I will eagerly look forward to the JSON-RPC API version then Smile

In the meantime, can the HTTP API not be configured to accept manually entered URLS of online images? In any case perhaps you're not making any more changes to the old version.

Thanks Smile

Files does not seem to work in IE8? If I do it locally on the server with epiphany-browser it works fine.

BTW, I hoped to be able to add not scraped filed to the libray manually.
Is this something you see as part of the scope?

Hmmm... if you're using XBMC, you're obviously technically quite capable. So why in the world do you want to use IE?!
