3 Activating The XBMC Web Interface

XBMC has a web interface that you can use to control XBMC remotely. It is disabled by default, but can be enabled under Settings > Network > Servers:

I couldn't find the default XBMC web user in the manual, that's why I did not set a password (if you find out the user, you can set a password, but otherwise you will not be able to log in). If you find out what the name of the web user is, please let me know.

Afterwards, you can fire up a browser and go to http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/ - replace <IP_ADDRESS> with the IP address of the Ubuntu system where XBMC is installed; in my case it's 192.168.0.8, so the URL is http://192.168.0.8:8080/.

This is how the web interface looks:
