Well I gave it a go. it took about 5 refreshes to load the screen. Once started I noticed it seems to have inherited a lot of problems this app had earlier which you changed. have you ported this from one of the early builds? for instance, the artist section was changed to display only album artists like in the xbmc interface, however, with this new build that feature has reverted back to all artists, causing the script to freeze due to a large amount of artists. Also I have 6 Genres in my library (Dance,Funk,Hip-hop,Pop,Reggae,Rock) but this web interface adds several random ones like "blues" etc.. There were a couple of other things but I'm at work and cant remember what they are. I'll post again later.
Thanks

The new version loads better and seems more responsive, however play-list doesn't seem to work. If I drag anything to it, a blank entry appears with the red cross to remove it. Unable to play anything through this webui.. random genres still being displayed, all artist still being displayed and a few script errors. Playback via xbmc fills in all webui details and album art and allows control fine. (not fully tested)
XBMC Dharma 10.01 Win7 x64
iexplorer 8 (run from XP laptop), status bar constantly reads "Done, with errors"
Thanks

I've tried just about everything I can imagine, but I'm still unable to find the UI.
I grabbed 0.0.2 and installed via zip, I have access to the default (unusable) webui, but no path that I've seen mentioned in this thread works.
/XBMControl_Web/
/XBMControl_Webv2/
/xbmcontrol-0.0.2/
/XBC/
all with and without index.html
But all I ever get back is a 404.
It's installed and enabled in the Add-Ons panel. I'm at a loss.
Edit: Nevermind, I totally figured it out. I hadn't switched the setting under the Network control panel to use XMBControl.
Now, however, all of my movies and music show up, but there's no television.

I haven't made any changes for TV shows as of yet. I will look into adding that support.
Should I made 3 vertical tabs "Music", "Movies", "Video"?
Currently there is "Music" and "Video".
Cheers,

RudyBox: Did the previous version 0.0.1 show the items in the playlist? If version 0.0.2 still shows all the genres and artists that you complained about in 0.0.1 then this is most likely a DHARMA thing. The 0.0.2 is the old 1.37 (pre-DHARMA) version with just the new packaging for installation.
If version 0.0.1 shows the playlist for you then I will continue developing on that branch since it seems like the list of all artists and genres is coming from DHARMA itself.
Please make sure System->Music->Library->"Include artists who only appear in compilations" is unchecked. That may cut the extra information you are seeing.
Cheers,
Kabooga

Abdn if you mean can you make selections within a DVD menu (play, select language, etc) then yes.
In version 0.0.2 there is a button that looks like a remote. Click on that and it will open another screen that looks like a remote control. The click on the buttons and it should act much like a normal remote does.
