Maraschino (formerly HTPC Frontend) - a summary web interface for your XBMC HTPC

Guys PLEASE download my link ...Save the files to a folder on your desktop and double click the index.html.. Play a little with it and you will see the intent (do tweak the html's to point to your links - 3 minutes worth of work)... You will see how easy it is to switch between screens and go back to Maraschino... I find that I can go back and forth effortlessly and "feeling" like you are in one a single place.

I have to go sleep off the beers I had for dinner... Nice NY microbrewery Belgian style beer.

Is plex anywhere on the roadmap to be supported ? I did not see anything on the home page nor home page forums.

Thanks

Nope,

Plex is not supported as none of us use it.
If you or anyone over on Plex want to help port a version (or integrate it) feel free.

Does Plex support the XBMC JSON API? If so, it might be able to happen.
If not, I cannot see it being an easy feat to get Plex supported.

I am now curious whether this set-up is ideal or whether a cherrypy installation will get me the same results. Has anyone done a cherrypy installation that allows to access Maraschino, CP, SB without opening more than port 80? More explicit questions:

1) Can I assign port-80 to Maraschino and then access Maraschino directly from the "outside" over the web port?

2) Will Maraschino then handle the connection to SB and CP and all this could be routed through port 80 without setting up reverse proxies?



Thanks again for all the development and fantastic work!!!


P.S. Any progress on an auto-update function to get the latest maraschino through the UI?

Any thoughts on above?

I thought you managed this before? I wrote a HOWTO on the new forums.

I managed before with an Apache set-up, but not with Cherrypy. If I make ths switch to Cherrypy, I would not need the Apache server anymore. That also means that I would not use reverse-proxies any longer as they are related to the Apache server? How would I then access SB and CP without opening additional ports?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys,

I created another version of my Maraschino wrapper portal thing. This time I made things simpler and actually feeling more modern. I am using an iframe to load all the pages. I wish I could get the iframe to fill the available height of the screen... but hopefully a smarter person than I can figure that out. I am also using a pull down menu for more versatility and less clutter.

This version is only one html file, so make sure to edit the index.html file to use your actual links.

Once the RSS module is released, I will update this to get rid of my Frankenstein version.

Please comments, suggestions, advice....

Thanks,

Hernando

Anyone get this running on a Synology NAS?

@hernandito

It looks awesome. Thanks for your effort in this.

Don't know how the RSS module will look like but i think i'm going to use this for a while.

Still tweaking the design... so do not go nuts editing your html yet.
