Hey everyone, ive got a couple of questions that all fall under the same category about remote controlling XBMC and the computer its on, so here it goes.
ok so,
1) While XBMC is running, if I want to remote desktop into it I see XBMC, is there anyway to remote into it as a second desktop so to speak, so while someone maybe be using it on the TV I can go in and update the music collection in Zune or do some work on Media Companion etc, then also when I log out the PC doesnt log out.
2) XBMC is set to sleep after 60 minutes regardless of other programs. Is there anyway to make it check such as uTorrent and jdownloader and if there are any active downloads it waits until they are finished then it can start the sleep timer....I guess this is for the plugin guys for the specific programmes?
3) Are there any remote media managers such as Media Companion? Ive tried the XWMM but it really doesnt cut it and also neither does music, I dont mind a separate app for movies and music but aslong as they have a webui
