so it shouldn’t be leopard-related!

Would you want to? Maybe the community can start a fund to get you there. Do you see any benefit in going? Just a thought. @elan: Do you have any plans on attending Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s Conference in June? Would you want to?

Maybe the community can start a fund to get you there. Do you see any benefit in going?

Just a thought.

I wasn't sure. It sounded like the new input server was going to act as the central abstraction layer for input and I had assumed that in doing so would make it easier to maintain separate source files for OS specific input methods and inherently reduce the number of ifdefs. Also, I hadn't realized the extent of the web support in XBMC.. I had thought it to be a lot less generic. Ok. I wasn’t sure.

For more information about HttpApi see: http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=WebServerHTTP-API and http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=87054&package_id=198866 There is also a very long topic-thread by nad (the author of HttpApi) in the Xbox Development forum about HttpApi. I am not 100% sure but I believe that D4rk's UDP client-server protocol even re-uses the HttpApi commands(?) @bmfrosty, XBMC already have an HTTP API which web applications can use to remote control XBMC, (exactly like you describe that you want), that API is called HttpApi, and there are already many third-party web applications (and non-web applications for PDA use and such) out there (actually more than one for the iPhone alone I think) which uses HttpApi to remote control XBMC, just search the official XBMC community forum.

My screen turns black en that's it. Nothing happens... Had to hard reset my mabcook pro penryn twice. Somebody know this problem

Send commands to it from a PHP script? Could it be used to expose information to the controlling application? Like current title, current timecode, available subtitle tracks, available audio tracks? I'm thinking that this could be used for one hell of a web based remote control page designed for an iPhone/iPod, or even a Nintendo DS. @d4rk: So could this be used as a web app for a remote control?

It's actually an internal server that receives the event messages. Also the messages aren't restricted to purely input events. For example, there is also a notification event that pops up a little window on screen with a message. What's external would be the various clients that communicate with the server. "I have no issue with people doing the same for now and internally supporting OS X Bluetooth HIDs." The whole point of the new protocol is to abstract out device specific code and at the same time not compromise on speed. At this point, I wouldn't encourage anyone to write any device specific code that ties in tighlty with XBMC, Bluetooth or otherwise, since it won't get accepted. Ideally write your code so that the device specific portions are modular so that it can be reused using the new protocol. The protocol is close to completion at this stage and basic commands are functional. I already have a few working examples. I'll be posting examples, documentation etc on the forums once it's more usable. @elan

Keep up the great work, I just tried it tonight and am absolutely amazed at the performance so far. I’ll help out in the only way I can, with a hefty donation.
