WebServer HTTP API (HttpApi): for PocketPC and Web-client Remote Control Apps

Forgot to post a reply but a couple of weeks ago KeyRepeat command (see wiki) was added to implement smcnally75's request.

Just in case there are any Javascript programmers wanting to know how to create a Vista Sidebar gadget; have a look here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=1...post173274

Hope someone can help, I ahve downloaded v1.91 if XBMC Control for my PDA. I can connect to XBMC which in turn connects to my PC via Wifi where all my music is stored. Is there a way I can browse by Artist/Album in the same way you browse in XBMC. I currently have to search the individual folders of my PC via the PDA which really slows this down for me.

Hi Guys,

The source for my slightly less impressive PDA Application can be found on sourceforge. The url is;

http://xbmcm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xbmcm/

There is a readonly repository there for Subversion users.

You will need VS2008 to compile this, and please bear in mind its a beta, and I havent really done much with it since my Xbox blew up !!!

If you have any changes, let me know and I will grant you developer rights on the SourceForge project site.

Cheers

Kev

I have looked right through this thread and haven't found what I am looking for.

I have modified the default web interface to work with a 10.4" touch screen, much the same as some others here. I have all the functionality that I want, but I would like to display the currently playing song, current song progress/total, and the next song in the playlist.

Has anyone got a complete web interface available for download that I could have a look at? Perhaps someone can just give me a hand with the commands and what I have to do to make the songs and times show, and update properly. I really like this little ppc app, but like Affini, I want to use this in a browser interface.

Hopefully someone can help and point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Jase

Have a look at LiquidIce's Ajax code https://xbmcajax.bountysource.com/downloads Unfortunately he (?) stopped developing it but it it already pretty impressive and it does what you are after. It is buggy in IE.

Hmm. My coding skills aren't really all that high. I pulled all the scripts from his ajax code and put them into mine, then put in the call for the details I wanted but I just couldn't get it working.

The actual logic you need is straightforward:

response = http://xbox/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=Ge...thumb.jpg)

//parse the response to get the fields you wish to display

thumbnail.src = http://xbox//thumb.jpg

NB the version of GetCurrentlyPlaying which has the optional parameter (as above) is only availabe in recent builds of xbmc.

nad,

First of all I am not certain exactly how to parse the results. What exactly is the thumb.jpg meant to be? I don't have this image on my xbox? I think i am close to getting what I need, I just need a little more direction.

Is it possible perhaps if someone can paste a snippit the code that deals with the parsing of the results, so I can get an idea of the code and exactly how its configured with the desired results.

I have the latest T3CH SVN.

Hopefully you can help me, some more, again.

Thanks guys,
Jase

I was just reading more on the parameters of that command. I found in the help (which i've read about 10 times now) this: http://xbox/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=Ge...\thumb.jpg

Now it says that the parameter must be an absolute path (as seen by the xbox) I have XBMC installed to: e:\_xbmc and of course the path of the web is e:\_xbmc\web

Will this help at all?
