XBMC remote for Linux ?
Mon, Nov 21 2011, 5:05PM
As the title suggests, I am looking for a way to remotely control XBMC running on my Linux HTPC.
My partner has an iPad 2 and it would be nice to have a working solution to avoid having the TV on, other than using my netbook to control the system.
Any viable suggestions?

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go.
I currently use my netbook via remote access in Linux. It works, but is slow.
There's an iPod / iPhone app for this for a few quid so I guess there's an iPad version?
Failing that you can control it through a web browser. Just go to Settings / Network and check the box for 'Allow control of XBMC via HTTP'. Set a simple username and password.
Then on a browser connected to your network simply access it via its IP address e.g. http://192.168.1.109
Good luck!
