I'm currently working on a solution for my embedded screen on my HTPC. So far I have developed an HTTP interface to show all the media information, while the "big screen" is used for watching content and browsing. (See Forum Thread (http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=47415))

What is missing:
I would like to browse at least my music library via remote control (not via touchscreen or mouse on the small HTPC screen), when my main screen is off.

So IMHO the easiest thing would be to get all the information, which item on the main screen is currently highlighted and which directory is currently browsed via HTTP API to show the contents of the browsing window of the main screen on the HTPC screen.

But I didn't find anything like that in the HTTP API documentation - is there another possibility to do that? Any undocumented feature in the API? Any other suggestion?
