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

Loving this interface - great job!

For some reason neither my video or music databases are ever populated?
Am I missing something, or is this a feature still in progress?

Kabooga, this is looking good mate. Keep up the good work.

The music and video databases are not getting filled in because one of the API calls (in a sequence of API calls) is failing. What I am seeing is that I made the API command timeout too low for most people. I will be releasing a version later today that will extend the command timeout, this will 'mostly' address the issue. In a later release I will put in 'retries' for failed API commands to fully address this issue.

Thanks for the feedback.

Awesome!

With 1000+ movies, 6000+ TV episodes, and 25000+ songs I suspected this was the problem. If you need someone to test out with a large collection drop me a line and I'd be glad to troubleshoot for you.

Version 1.15 seems to work under Linux.

No luck with version 1.20.

Works for me.

To those who asked for a screenshot, here you go!



Only annoyance so far is that artists don't seem to be sorted alphabetically

Keep up the great work!

Edit:
Another minor request, could you change to to sort by Album Artist rather than Artist? or give an option to change it ?

same problem here with the slow loading and failure to load lists with v1.20

v1.15 works a treat.

except in both versions it fails to show any cover art. im using iexplorer 7.


displaying artists and albums in alphabetical order would be nice to.

Hi All,

Sorry for the long lag time to get back on XBMControl Web. Getting RIF'ed and having to find a new job took me away from my projects for a little while.
Uploaded XBMControl Web v1.25 to the code project http://code.google.com/p/xbmcontrol-web/.

Changes:
Changed the timeouts to handle long API commands better.
Also re-introduced the 'Clear Playlist' button.

I'll work on getting the Library listings to display alphabetically for the next release.

rudyboyx, I'm still trying to resolve the image problems with IE7. Both Firefox and Safari don't have this problem.

Enjoy,
Kabooga

Small error with capitalization.

Just grabbing http://ip:port/XBMControl_Web/ gives an error. It looks like it's trying to get default.asp. If I get Default.asp directly, all is good.

/XBMC on Debian

darkscout, thanks for the heads up. I'll rename Default.asp to default.asp in the next release.

I'm glad this works with a Linux distribution (I don't have a Linux box to test on).

Enjoy,
Kabooga
