well i found something that could be portable, called rdesktop (its on sourceforge)
it open-source, and allows remote control of windows desktop sharing (the default wich comes with windows xp and 2k too i think)
i think it could be really usefull, not on all the time on xbmc but you can just launch it to control your pc, and lets say launch kaiengine (very usefull if your pc is far from your xbox), etc im sure theres a bunch of other uses
sure you could use linux, but this would be easier to use (like with linksboks)

hey,
i have a feature suggestion... it is rather important to me, i am sure many will enjoy it.
anyhow -
i like being able to control my xbox through my lan... but i would like it if i could control everything through my pc, everything to me is:
kml browser
launch browser
i don't use ifilm as i cant find the download link... ever since i updated to the newest cvs i couldnt use ifilm (lost script)
anyhow... is this possible? i would truely enjoy it!

:idea:
any pc desktop remote control (xbox-to-pc) in the pipes?
so that you can control your server from the xbox, something along the lines of pcanywhere of dameware, would be handy so that you dont have to leave your living room to check the server!

i have ran across a script for turning a pc off that is on your lan but havent actually looked at it or been able to tell if it could be expanded upon.

the logical choice would be vnc. python is too slow to write a decent speed vnc client, so someone would need to port it to the xbox. doubt it would ever become part of xbmc tho

i kinda understand that only viewing a remote screen would be possible however a vnc viewer on xbmc would be extremely useful!

a vnc viewer for xbmc would be great! we wouldnt even need control over the remote computer, just remote viewing using vnc would make a really usefull addition!

exactly how many processes do you think that would take... one for the connect, one for the display, one for each interaction..
xbox supports one....

i just said a viewer, even that is within the xbmc power as it just needs to display an image onscreen.
