Feature: Control multiple XBMC media players #42

I'm not sure how much demand there may be for this but having the ability to control multiple different XBMC media centres would be really useful. My setup currently consists of a mySQL server running 24/7, two Raspberry Pis and my PC. The PC isn't always on and the rasberry Pis are very slow so if I could run an instance of XBMC on my server purely for the web interface, from which I can control each of the other devices, it would make controlling them much easier. Currently I use the iOS app which is very basic but can switch between them all. The way I imagine it is, clicking the XBMC tab (the XBMC/Local switching tabs) would give you a drop down list of available media centres.

If I had more experience/better skills I would try create a standalone version of Chorus running in PHP on a web server and connecting directly to the server, alas I am but a simple junior developer. I may still give it a go but Chorus has a lot of features so it may be more of a proof of concept.

Hi, I would like this too however I am not going to put any work into it until it supported by xbmc itself (eg server/client setup like plex).

If you wanted to do this, I would suggest a php proxy as a standalone app, maybe it hosts Chorus and asks what client you would like to connect to first and then routes all requests to /jsonrpc and /image to the correct client.

Happy to give you tips and direction along the way :)

    Is there a change to edit this settings in a configuration file or section? Maybe it could be helpful to make the icon red if the ip is down .... ??
