Is there a web interface option that allows for remote browsing of the XBMC media libraries (TV, Movies, Music) - that does not allow the person browsing to actually control the machine?

So that you people can browse what you have remotely, but not mess with your playing. And so when I am at work I can check what I have and not accidentally download/buy it again!

Check out the addon share.tv or trakt.tv.

ATV1 with crystalbuntu V1 (11.eden). Theater remote URC MX-810, droidx wtih xbmc remote, or transformer tf101 with YATSE. 2 x ATV2 (V12.0 Eden).

Hmm they are interesting. Share.tv only does movies so far, but does it quite well - unfortunately it doesn't seem to give quality info etc, which would be useful (e.g. 1080p from bluray or whatever).

Trakt.tv only seems to grab wathced stuff, not the library, and only in library mode and I watch TV jsut using files mode, so that's not that great from my perspective.

It would still be handy if there was a way to use the XBMC box for this directly - meaning no third party servers involved etc.
