XBMC as a service?

ajamils · 2012-09-01 02:15

Is it currently possible (or in future road map) to have just a service for XBMC running that can give you access to the library from Android Remote without actually running XBMC itself ? I am thinking of something similar to MPExtended + ampDroid for MediaPortal where MPExtended is an external service that you can keep running on the HTPC (without actually running MediaPortal) and it give you access to your whole media library from an android phone/tablet running ampDroid remote.

Thanks

You can build XBMC as a shared library on Linux (libxbmc.so) allowing you to build a wrapper "service" application for XBMC. Checkout this thread for details.

Thanks for the reply but that will not work for me as I have absolutely no knowledge of Linux.
