Pulp: Has this just started? Would you email be xbmc.log. Thanks.

Would XBMC and programs that use the HTTPAPI benefit from using persistent connections?

Has anyone use this to control an Xbox from another Xbox?
I have speakers throughout my house wired up to a central receiver in the basement home theatre. I just put our xbmc xbox in the bedroom to watch movies etc. on our little LCD. It'd be awesome if I could use the bedroom xbox and TV to control another xbox in the basement that is feeding its audio into the whole house receiver. Then we could listen to mp3's on the nice bedroom inwall speakers rather than through the tinny TV speakers. I'd pick up 2 more xboxes for the kitchen and basement if I could do this.
Thoughts?

You could use a program on the computer, pocket pc or PSP to remote control the xboxes
or
Compile yourself xbmc with linksbox
or
Create a little script to remote control the xboxes in python for the xbox (quite easy)

It crashed again with the same message (as mentioned in my last post)

The App actions before the crash were the following: Right after turning on xbox (before network init) it sent the command sendRawCommand("getcurrentlyplaying()") every second. It timed out every time (I have reduced timeout to 1000ms).
It seems to have crashed at the time the network was initialised.
p.s. I'm fully aware of my probs with the skin.
p.s.2 It tries to connect to google and some other address? Why?
- pulp_136 - 2007-09-26 16:41
Nad, a correction: The App didn't send the getcurrentlyplaying command every second, but only once when XBMC API was still not loaded (it timed out). The error came without request, it seems to be reading events. I can reproduce this every time. I switch the xbox on, send a getcurrentlyplaying command through the api (it times out) and wait till the api crashes.

Cover Art over HTTPAPI? - NeoMorph - 2007-10-01 23:11
Is is possible to have the cover art show over the HTTPAPI interface? It's the only thing missing as far as I can see...
- nad - 2007-10-05 19:07
NeoMorph: it depends on what you are trying to do. Look at the FileDownload and the FileDownloadFromInternet httpapi commands.
http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/wiki/index.php?title=WebServerHTTP-API
You can also have a look at the code for XBMCControl which is hosted on SourceForge's XBMC files page.
If you are trying to do this embedded within HTML then there is a detailed discussion of this in the thread you are currently reading.
Pulp: I sent you a PM

Can You Start Recording Via HTTPAPI? - NeoMorph - 2007-10-07 12:15
I'm getting on well with my interface to HTTPAPI and everything is starting to work how I want.
Now what I was looking for was a way to start recording when a radio source is active (and stop the recording of course). I know you can do it from the xbmc gui but can't find a way to do it over httpapi.
- spiff - 2007-10-07 12:53
use the builtin command playercontrol
