Developing a Interface for my AMX Touchscreen Help needed!

[dannyd4315]

Hi All,

I am after some help and guidance if possible?

I am writing an interface to my AMX home automation system using the HTTP API. I plan to control XBMC using my touchscreen.

I am trying to browse by cover art on my touchscreen but I cant see any commands for this anywhere, is this possible. Basically I am trying to send the coverart for all the items in the library, much like the IPhone iterfaces I have seen.

I have seen a command for getting the 'Now playing' artwork.

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks

Danny

I am messing around with some like you are.

I was going to try this......

Issue HTTP API command for the movie "Vantage Point"

SELECT strPath FROM movieview WHERE C00 LIKE "Vantage Point"

This will return the path to the directory where the movie is located. In that directory should be a file called "video_ts.tbn". I think this file is the cover art you are looking for.

You can then download this file using the HTTP API FileDownload command to retrieve the file.

I'm just starting to mess around with this so my answer may not be the best solution. But it is something to try.

Regards,

Kabooga

I am trying to connect an AMX controller with a PC running XBMC. I can establish the connection OK, but am a bit lost as to the way to structure the HTTP://... commands. Any help?
