[Web Interface Addon] XWMM - XBMC Web Media Manager

I also ran into a problem setting up XWMM on Eden. I'm fairly new to XBMC, so I could just be missing something. I am running XBMC on an Apple TV 2 with XWMM installed. When I try to go to it from Firefox on a PC, the interface loads fine, movie list loads, but all data for the movies is blank...not even the title fills in, even though the title shows fine in the movie list. A few random movies have genres filled in, but thats it, nothing else. If I load XWMM on IE, the interface wont even load at all, just get a gray box. And if I use Chrome, all seems to work fine...any clue whats causing it to act up in Firefox? I spent hours last night messing with it trying to figure out what the problem was before I noticed it was just certain browsers. I can at least still use it now, just curious as to what is causing it to be blank in Firefox. Thanks for any help.

Slash, I tried it with Firefox (on a PC) and it works ... more or less. What happens is that I can now download the new cover art and replace the existing art. It also saves properly now and the new art is shown ... until you move away from the specific film by highlighting another. When you return to the old one the old file is back! However, when I checked the actual database in practice in my home theatre the new cover art was in place, so this looks like a cache problem.

PS. Is it possible to add one's own cover art?

Hmmm I get the screen but ist blank It says Movielist nothing more a grey screen is all..
Im on the Eden 11, and the XWMM 2.05

Any Ideers?

I am getting no listing at all in the movie list - i do in the small about of box sets i have and i get a listing of TV series. I have tried IE, FF, Chrome and Safari on both Windows and OSX - same results. This is from accessing my aTV2 - Will test on my HTPC this evening.

Thanks!

XWMM is an addon you install on the XBMC box. After that, you just need a browser (nothig to be installed on the workstation).

Same problem here running it on Eden and trying to access it through Firefox on Ubuntu. Everything loads fine in Chromium.

Thanks to all who have been posting in this thread. After parsing through it all, I was able to resolve my issue (though it's a little clunky), so I thought I'd share for anyone else who stumbles along this way.

Issue that I had: Running the latest, freshly installed, XBMC on Windows 7. Installed XWMM through the repository. Enabled HTTP administration.
XWMM successfully loads my library. Through the tools I can add and delete movie sets - no problem.

When I edit a movie (let's say Cars), I'd rather have it in the Pixar collection than the cars collection. I change the set and save. It appears to work. If I click on any other movie and then return to Cars, it's reverted back to the Cars Collection, and on the actual XBMC library, it is also still in the cars collection.

I tried all browsers, both on the HTPC itself, and on another computer in my home network, all the same result.

SOLUTION FOR ME: As another poster in this forum has said, they discovered that it was related to the browser cache. My work around has been to clear the recent history after every saved change made in XWMM return to verify that the movie kept the changes, and mostly success.
NOTE: Here's where it got a little tricky, and the second layer of this workaround. If a movie is already assigned to a collection, the browser cache doesn't seem to help. It's stuck on whatever it was originally assigned to. The only way I could change it was to go into Tools>Movie Sets and delete the set that I don't want. clear the cache, go to the movie and usually it is now cleared of any movie set. At this point, it will accept the new movie set that I want.
So, not perfect, and a lot of clearing, refreshing, double checking, sometimes doing it again, but in the end, my XBMC library is starting to really flow nicely.
(now if I can figure out the Amazon Prime Instant View DRM issue, and figure out why XBMCflicks was working for a minute and now just won't, I'll have the ultimate setup, but that's for another thread)

Hey Slash, I made a pull request on the git repo a few weeks back (https://github.com/slash2009/XWMM/pull/5) to fix caching and the loading overlay. Is that something you'd be interested in incorporating into the addon or would you prefer I do something differently?

Hey Niiko,
Thanks for your contribution, just didn't have time to merge it.
I'll try to do it today.
Thanks again and feel free to do other changes.
