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

Feeling a bit silly but where do I put the files. I created a folder call web directory but all I am getting is the standard web interface

its in your main xbmc directory, i renamed mine to web.old and created a new one for this

I Just got it installed and using it now, so far I am impressed, awesome work, I have been wanting an updated remote for sometime, I use mine every day. I hope someone can contribute some cool skins,

Here is my feedback so far.

I did notice when I open the remote it causes a slight hickup in the video playing. but not enough to disrupt the playing. Not sure what details you need.

The media shows all files in the folders, I keep a lot of fanart and nfo files, so its a bit cluttered view, and I have to open several folders to get to a movie. Since these items can't be used it would be nice to filter them out or have a library only view option.

Its really not I am afraid, neither is it in my userdata directory.

theres a folder in XBMC main app itself called web, but this is not the directory its the main app.

That is the folder you need to put these files in, once there and XBMC is running you can connect to it. not sure what os you are using but in my windows installation its c:\program files\xbmc\web

Those are the web remote files, just rename that web folder to web.old and make yourself a new folder called web and put these files in there to test it. If it breaks you can just rename your .old one back.

Not that I want to be smart but Media Reader can edit Advancedsettings.

By the way, would be nice to have a few screenshots on http://code.google.com/p/xbmcontrol-web/

PS! Off-topic but something related that is highly request and a hot discussion topic is also the possibility of being able to edit advanced settings (advancedsettings.xml) and keymappings (keymap.xml) non-GUI features via the a separate section in the web interface:

Not sure if you're taking wishlist items? But is there a chance to secure the traffic from the browser via SSL or SSH?

Currently secure traffic (SSL, SSH) is not in my plans. I'll investigate what is needed for this.

Also an update will be released this evening. The site will be updated to included screen shots and installation instructions.

Thank you for your bravery in trying the application. Your input is helpful!!!

Is this EXTJS library a free and open source software?

If not is there an free and open source software alternative? ...it is just that, if it is not GPL or LGPL compatible then something like this could never be included with XBMC out-of-the-box.

If I understand correctly the 'Dual Licensing Model' they use will allow for using the library for free and legally in XBMC.
