Hello everyone, this is my first post so please be nice

I have been playing around with XBMC for a month now and I'm loving it!

I've installed XBMC Live 9.11 R26018 on my acer revo and have been using it happily for some time now.

I recently found out about profiles so I decided to set them up and put a lock on the master profile. My problem is that I'm using the android remote to control XBMC which relies on the HTTP API to send commands.

I looked at the debug log (below) and it seems the WebServer is being shutdown when I'm switching between profiles, but it doesn't start up again until I've logged entered my lock code. The problem with this is I get a box asking for me to enter my lock code but the remote I'm using no longer works and I have to plug in a keyboard or mouse to enter the code.

Does anyone know a way I can get around this issue? or somehow stop the webserver from shutting down? I'm not entirely sure what to do!

well problem here is that one profile might have the webserver enabled and the other might not, hence the shutdown off it. This means that its actually correct doing so but its not very nice since you rely of it for input.

This is a tricky mess and I guess at some point we should just always have the webserver running, but we would need to be sure its 100% secure first.

Hi, Thanks for the reply

I've checked the settings and they both have the webserver enabled. Both profiles seem to be using the same settings because as soon as I put in the master lock code, the webserver restarts and I can use the remote again.

Maybe it's just the order in which things are started up when loading the profile?

[topfs2]

yes but when you are in between profiles you could possibly switch to one that doesn't have it enabled (now you probably have it enabled on all profiles) so therefor its disabled during the login to not compromise security.

Oh right.. I see, I made the mistake of thinking that the network settings were global settings because they just happen to be the same for both my profiles!

Looks like I might have to get an IR remote then, although it would have been ideal to be able to always use the android remote.

Just out of curiosity, do you know if anything will ever be done to keep the webserver running all the time? I guess you would only allow access to library if a profile is logged in and when noone is logged to only allow access direction arrows and a selection key.

Thanks for your time.
