[Web Interface Addon] AWX - Ajax based Web Interface Addon for XBMC - MKay - 2010-09-23 21:14
As you may have noticed AWX is currently not developed by me for lack of time.
Job, studies and other projects are too time consuming.
But i'm happy to see that some people pick up my project and create their own web interfaces. So my work was not for nothing
Currently i know of 2 AWX-forks or at least projects which are using AWX-sourcecode:
1. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=112956 (Eden)
2. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=116707 (Dharma)
(If i miss a fork, then let me know)
So you should try one of the projects listed above since AWX-development was stopped by me.
But the projects above already include cool new features and probably some bug-fixes

Hi,
a few month ago i began writing a webinterface for XBMC but have never released it. I wrote it to control audio-playback of my media center in a browser because i didn't want to turn the TV on ... and the browser is always started.
A few days ago i rewrote some parts so that it works with XBMC Dharma now and added some new functionality.
Maybe other people can find it useful. So here it is
You can use AWX to control the Audio/Video-Section of XBMC: play/pause/stop/skip, show artists/albums/movies/tv shows and play them or add them to the playlist. It's designed for use on PCs or laptops with a browser like FireFox which supports JavaScript.
Screenshot:

These "questionmark-images" will be replaced by the thumbs of the albums

Hi.
Great work! I'll test it and give some feedback on possible problems.
Do you have plans to add it XBMC add-ons repo?

Works great in firefox thanks
Btw is there any way to implement a thumbnail cache of some sorts (resize images or something), I know you didnt intend for it to be used on smartphones, but I tried it on my phone; it works fine but just a little slow loading images.

yeroash Wrote:Btw is there any way to implement a thumbnail cache of some sorts (resize images or something), I know you didnt intend for it to be used on smartphones, but I tried it on my phone; it works fine but just a little slow loading images.Currently the API does not support resizing images. And i cannot do this on my own because the server does not support server-side-scripting. But resizing of images is a good feature for the API. I will request it.
BTW: I have uploaded Version 0.2.4.
0.2.4:
- Added: Show shares in file-section
- Changed: Moved item-buttons from the right to the left
- Changed: Hide not implemented picture-section
- Changed: Movies without id will be ignored (e.g. Movie Sets - they are not supported by the API)
- Fixed: Webinterface hangs on startup if no tv show exist
- Fixed: needless SetVolume-Requests

I've installed it and it looks very good. Here is some feedback:
- In the top row you have the breadcrumbs to e.g. Videos -> TV Shows -> Battlestar Galactica (2003) -> Season 1. But I always need to use the [X] button to go up one level. On the first try I always wanted to click on these texts to go up a level.
- In Movies view I get a list of all my movies but none of them has a poster display (they all have one in XBMC). The image html looks like this:
<img src="images/loading_thumbPoster.gif" alt="2069" class="thumb thumbPoster" original="/vfs/special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/Video/7/7c294969.tbn"> - same goes for Music where no cover art is displayed for the albums. Maybe this is still on your TODO?
- The sort mode for Movies seems to be by date added. Maybe alphabetically would be a better default and maybe sort options?
- I have quite a few movies in my list. Maybe some fast filter option would be nice
Thanks for your great work. I was hoping for some updated web interface

plain awesome!
Album covers didn't work for me though but haven't checked why
- pFranzen - 2010-09-24 20:35
Nice so far!
I'm getting an error when I load up my 'Music' directory in the file listing though:
"A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: http://192.168.1.4:8080/js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js:74"
I can just hit "Continue" instead of "Stop Script" and it seems to go away, but it's a repeatable error every time I bring up the directory.

no thumbs here too, except on informations screen.
except that, really good job!
- Mental Block - 2010-09-24 22:19
Looks good and seems to work well. For me the thumbs only seem to work through music artist. Maybe it is something to to with the amount of thumbs it is requesting?
One suggestion I have would be able to only show Album Artists under artist view as currently I get all my artists on compilation albums showing up as well. Same as the option "Include artist who appear only on compilations" within XBMC.
Thanks
