iPad/ iPhone compatible remote/ web interface?
Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2012 3:16 pm
I'm trying to set my xbox up as a headless jukebox controlled from an iPad, either using the web interface or remote control app.
On 3.2 stable build, got the web interface with the default pm3 skin up and running. It works ok through a standard desktop browser and iPad, but there is no means to scroll through the list of music on the iPad. Tried other skins and getting flakey results (dodgy rendering on safari/ stalls...).
Tried a couple of the remote control apps and they verify a connection with the xbox however some either dont work at all or are very flakey.
Before i dig deeper in a debug log/ fresh install, I read a post in the xbmc forum that the xbmc4xbox build does not support the rpc json protocol...which would stuff my chances with getting it to work with the majority of current remote apps. Is this true?
If it is supposed to be working, it would be very much appreciated if anyone could suggest a working remote app/ web interface for the iPad.
