What the development-status of the WebServer (libGOAhead) and the old web interface?

could someone let me know what the current development status of the xbmc web server is? if it is dormant i might have time to look at it myself.

to me the web server is one of xbmc's most desirable features since i wish to control it from a pocket pc.

as far as i know nobody is working on it atm. so feel free and go ahead to improve it.

there are some new skins at allxboxskins.com if that is what you're looking for, but i guess that will not get you any further with pocket pc control  
it might give you some inspiration though...
have a look at:
http://www.allxboxskins.com/skins....id=2335

thanks. i'll starting browsing the source code and get back to you. don't hold your breath though.

i have made a small windows application that can control xbmp or xbmc by sending commands to the webserver.

taka a look at my homepage for the application (with screenshots and all):

http://www.geocities.com/grundir4/xbmr/


features that i would like to see in the webserver (to be able to improve my program, and make the webinterface more useful):

-be able to retrieve the current playlist (and play songs from it)
-find out which song/file that is currently playing
-set volume

it would also be nice if you could get some kind of id or path of the song/file, so that you don't have to go to that files directory "manually" if you want to play the song right away, i.e. just call /xbmpcmds/xbmpform?command=playfile&fileid=345 or something like that if you know what i mean. but maybe that's not possible cause of the way that xbmc is built i don't know, just wanted to ask.

i would like those also. it would make it easier to use xbox to play back music for instance.

especially if one is often at another computer or other computers often, with a web browser. and if one doesn't have a remote...

you should perhaps try working closer with xmbc as well as putting up your program

hello salle78!

great work, have you published the source for your application somewhere?

the easies way is just to modify the asp-pages (make a new web-skin) so that they are viewable in pocket internet explorer on the pocket pc.

i am thinking of doing that myself when i have an ipaq with wlan in a drawer somewhere (the batteries on it are not that great).

thx niclas,
no i have not published the source, what are you missing in the application? (keep in mind that it is only the first alpha-version)

i will release the source-code when i lose interest in developing the application or if i don't have time for it.

i have looked at the code in the cvs, but c++ is not my native language so to speak. but maybe i willl give it a try...
