[Web Interface Addon] XBMC Control Web Page - an open source development project

I don't know what the deal is. I have about 20 playlists in that folder; m3u, wpl, asx - and only 1 shows up via XBMControl.

VELPO: I think I see the problem with only one playlist showing. Code bug on my part, will have a fix soon.

Good news, I ran out of options to try!

Newest version webinterface.xrc-0.0.C.zip can be loaded at.

Changes:
'Load Playlist' Button will see more than one playlist.

Sorry for the long wait. Cheers.

Yesssssssss! There they are!

Thank you.

Hello,

Just starting out with XBMC...

Unfortunately, I have not organized my library properly and would love to use your tool.

I downloaded it, installed it as a zip, and changed the XBMC network settings to allow for web control.

However, when I browse to the web URL I receive:

The connection was reset.
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

Tried changing port 80 to 8080 with same results.

I thought perhaps I needed IIS so I added that feature and obviously see the undefined IIS 7 page but no XBMC Control. I've removed IIS.

Any ideas?

WIndows 7 64
Tried IE 9, FF 13.0

Hi Chris,

I am assuming you are running the 'Eden' version of XBMC.

There are a few things I do after loading the addon from a zip file.
From System->Network->Services
1) Make sure 'Allow Control of XBMC via HTTP' is enabled.
2) Port is set to 8080.
3) Web interface shows 'XBMControl Web' selected. (This is three lines down from the Port setting).

To verify it is working I start up a browser on the machine running XBMC, clear the browsers cache (this is important), and go to page "http://localhost:8080". The page should start up correctly.

Hope this helps,

Cheers.

Would it be possible to add *all-artists* to the top of the artist list, so that you can see a list of all your albums on the right and all songs on the bottom list? That way you can find a certain album or song without knowing the artist. That would be a fantastic addition

I am currently working on getting this Web Interface working with the upcoming Frodo version. The interface will look the same, but the code is greatly changed to handle the newest framework from Sencha.

I'll add the 'All' artists in this update. Please note that if you select 'All' artists then every song in the library will be retrieved and put into the list. On smaller libraries this is acceptable, but on large libraries you may hang-ups or long refresh times on the interface.

Regards,

Kabooga.

I would suggest that when you click on "all artists" only the albums appear on the right side. Then, on top of the album list there could be an "all albums" option to load all the songs. I think most of the time you would only need to see the albums, which should load pretty fast.
