I have made some improvements to the interface.
- Removed jQuery Mobile. Less is more!
- 4 http requests per pageview. Much faster.
- Javascript is not as messy as before.
- Less html.
Resources:
-
Html demo (in swedish).
-
The source code.
-
Bitbucket project
-
Instructions (In swedish. Use Google Translate or a swedish speaking friend.)
-
Youtube video (also in Swedish).

I just checked it out... very cool!
I also see you use XBMC so you might be interested in joining efforts with a coding team that is making an HTPC web based front-end, coded in Python. (

... it would be cool to see EventGhost functionality added into that project!

Looks like a nice project. I will send them a message.
I think the biggest problem with Eventghost is the difficulty to communicate with the web server. Dynamic webserver is somewhat in the right direction but I would like to have a web server with php support to make really cool stuff. That way it would be possible to make the web interface really dynamic.

What about using Pako's web sockets plugin? That should (in theory) make all communications stateful. Also, if you want to use PHP there is an app call Maraschino (
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=113136) some on the XBMC form is building that is all based in PHP and Python. I mentioned the HTPC Manager earlier since it is all Python and does not require a PHP server... thus, more users can use it. I, and several others, have avoided Maraschino because we don't want the complex setup it requires with PHP server, CheriPy, etc.
