I also know that sWORDs is working on a very complete Pronto implementation that has control + full status feedback which is really nice if you are using the Music system of XBMC. His graphics look outstanding at this time.

To be quite honest, it's not my graphics. I've just played with the grahics from the standard galary.

While some of you already have the protected or unprotected versions of my HTTPAPI, JSON and EventServer xbmc clients. I'm trying to finish up the XBMC EventServer Client for Pronto (one way control) and probably will make that publicly available. As always, full source and documentation will be available to those that provide aswell.

I'm not sure what I will do with the HTTPAPI and JSON libs. They've cost a lot of time already and I'm still putting in the browse (and play from) library and playlist parts.

As a teaser of what's beyond EventServer some WIP's of HTTPAPI and JSON:

In theory your script Barry should work with Plex , which would be awsome :)

Well that is probably because I don't have a MAC. I run MAC on an Intel PC I designed and built myself using dual boot between Win 7 and OS X (Snow Leopard). The OS X is there just to play with coding for the iPad

As I said I will be releasing what I have developed (no charge) and you are free to download a copy after I post it and do whatever you want with it other than use any part of the code for commercial gain. Use of my code for commercial gain should and does require my prior permission. Only fair I think.

I use a the http interface that comes with the product. .

I just started a thread on the application I discussed in this thread. It is available for download from my web site as the Pronto Theater control application.
In that app is a library called RaidNAS that will answer all your questions. The main app makes a call to that library to spin the disks up and down.

In my Theater whenever the theater starts it spins the unraid disks up, and when I shut the theater down it spins down the drives.

The basic commands look something like:
Raid.SpinDown = "GET /update.htm?startState=STARTED&cmdSpinDownAll=Spin+Down HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n"
Raid.SpinUp = "GET /update.htm?startState=STARTED&cmdSpinUpAll=Spin+Up HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n";

but look at the library module

Playing around I just discovered that XBMC accepts raw JSON communication on port 9090. Much faster than using the http POST method. Some of you probably knew this already, but since it's not mentioned in the XBMC documentation I thought I'd share the info.

When using http the socket get's closed by the webserver, so with the raw socket you get an enormous performance upgrade, it's also lighter to process. Besides that, you'll be able to use the notifications.

The issue with the JSON release (I do agree with all that has been pointed out) is that the Dharma XBMC release is still fairly buggy. JSON is only available under Dharma and is very much a work in progress.

JSON is far from done and can't be used to replace HTTP-API atm. However with JSON+EventServer you can overcome most problems.

Dharma being buggy is something I can't confirm, it runs better then 9.11 here. Might be Windows/Linux or hardware difference, although I think we both use an ION.
