Hi there,
I'm at the beginnings of making a centralized control panel for my home which will control the automation products i have (planned). The idea is that I will have a main media centre in my lounge with RPi's in my kitchen and bedroom, each running XBMC, and a server/tv backend in a cupboard somewhere. This is where the control panel comes in. The idea is to have it attached to the wall (yet battery powered so detachable) and be able to browse the mysql library and select a film/tv show/music to play and then have it ask where the file should be played (kitchen/bedroom/lounge/all etc).
My problem is that the web ui's are specific to the client your running it from. It's the last step I'm unsure how to go about doing it. If anyone has any help on this, or knows of any guides on creating a custom web ui it would be very much appreciated. Or if you think there is a better way to go about it, then let me know
