Webserver and HTTPapi Enhancements !

Do you all think that the webserver part of Osxbmc needs a revamp? My main motivation is to have more functionality and cleaner interface. What sparked my thought was, the ability to use my iphone, login to the osxbmc and use it as a better remote to control the media. Like DVD Menu, Chapter Selection, Subtitle enabling, etc… Any thoughts / suggestions on this ?

Yes, I think we need to do:



a) A UI Revamp for the over all program



and then



B) a Webserver UI revamp to match it. Allow for optimization for iPhone, other cool stuff also.

Don’t forget other users :wink:

I have just tested my Nokia N95 8Gb to control OSXBMC and it looks great besides the screens being too big to fit the Nokia screen.



:smiley:




Any clues to what this means?

Making the entire interface more mac like, giving it a more integrated feel with the OS and other applications around it, etc.


Would you guys ever consider going to a Mac-like preferences dialog in addition to the skin-specific prefs menu? Perhaps Interface Builder generated?

Not sure, I’ve always thought a preference pane style configuration would be pretty cool, rip out all the settings and put them in a prefpane that you work with. Although that’s just me and I’m not a developer :wink:

I’ve been using http://tlrobinson.net/projects/xbmciphone/ with my Xbox. It’s a good enough start for a remote front end to the HTTP API.



This works for Plex as well. Not very stable, but it works..
