XBMControl - a compact remote XBMC controller app for Windows (Open Source C# .NET)

They keep it up to eden and perhaps more depends on how Json RPC goes.
Json is far from finished to do everything httpapi and event server permits

Agree. Today I explored xbmcontrol-web's files (see http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=51596) and found this app is based exclusively on JSON-RPC (and javascript, of course). Just met the same problem if XBMC runs under Linux (missing subdirs). With Windows Dharma (beta 3) the xbmcontrol-web (v1.37) works quite well.

Anyway compiled (not interpreted) program should work faster as can use TCP instead JSON. Not sure how fast will be Java app, as its speed is somewhere between binary and script.

P.S. Sorry for mystification; xbmcontrol-web is based on old web API, not JSON-RPC

Yeah, same goes for C#

I started building a JSON-RPC JS library a while ago. If anyone feels compelled to finish it, be my guest I can add you as a project contributer so you can do a checkout...

bumping this old thread to see if any coder are interested in continuing/updating.

A complete rebuild would be appropriate since the app is using the http api. Now the JSON RPC api is available (this wasn't the case when I wrote this client) which is much more powerful and efficient.

If anyone feels like building a new client, I really don't have the time, please build it using Java . So Osx and Linux users can use the client too.
