Hey guys
I have some batch files on my pc that i want to be able to start remotely from my xbox (xbmc). Any suggestions how to do this? The batch file starts a program on my computer that starts a tv channel stream

at least one option I am personally familiar with is using Apache HTTP server + PHP. PHP is capable of executing console stuff on the host system, and thus could be used to trigger the batch. On the XBMC side, I'm not 100% how you'd make the server actually serve up the PHP document.
Perhaps by enclosing its URL inside a STRM file?
like:
http://192.168.0.1/yourdoc.php

Apache is not really for the novice user since its a full blown webserver. That said, there are several good guides to getting it installed and running, and if you're behind a proper firewall and configure it correctly then having it on your system doesn't cause any undue security risk.

I'm actually curious if this will work, as I can think of some stuff I would like to maybe run "from the couch" as it were. I am pretty good at Windows Batch scripting, so this will be neat if it works. Will report back later.
