I've installed and everything went quite smoothly, I've edited the XBMC.PY file entering host, username, password mac address etc - I was supposed to do that right?

Seems to work, I get the following output:

INFO read_next_object_from_unzipped Returning a Pong (11)
INFO process_recognized_speech Best matching result: "Xbmc info" with a confidence of 75.5%
INFO read_next_object_from_unzipped Received a Ping (12)
INFO read_next_object_from_unzipped Returning a Pong (12)

So it recognises what I say, but Siri just outputs:

'Sorry I don't understand Xbmc info'

What am I doing wrong?

@N3MIS15

Nope it was set to English (United Kingdom). Changed to English (United States) so now I'm getting a bit further.

It doesnt understand my accent I guess but I cant get 'XBMC info' understood for the life of me, keeps comming back with:

XBMC command not recognised: in 5

but at least its getting to the plugin now.

Tried XBMC PLAY movie - and it works!

Hey,
Nice Server. Everything works fine exempt the XBMC plugin.
It recognize the movie to play, Get the answer "movie starting" but then I get the the Answer: "There was an error during the processing of your request!"

Edit: Solved. Was still on 10.1. Updated to 11Beta 3 and it works.

to make xbmc work with siri you edit the xmbc.py plugin .. yes ? and you change host - port - username - password - mac address ? which part do you change in the xbmc.pny because when i open it up with note pad there are 2 lines , def __init__(self, host='appletv.local', port='8080', username=None, password=None, mac_address=None): or that one below or both ?

self.username = username
self.password = password
self.port = port
self.host = host
self.mac_address = mac_address

def get_url(self):

Is it possible to run the server on an IOS device?

I have an old iphone that I use in my car to play music.
I would like to use siri on my iphone 5 to start playing music on my iphone 4 that is running XBMC?

I don't think python can run on ios, obvi, but if anybody has any help or tips let me know.

Thanks.
