Load game via WiFi API

[Rob Lambell]

Ability to load a game directly. Whether the option is displayed in the UI could be a setting.

This is a feature I thought about but as I don't have the WiFi dongle I was not able to test it. Maybe donation can help on this point ;-). Or I will try to blindly implement it and somehow find a way to make it testable to you guys.

[Rob Lambell]

I can test this for you. Here is very crude working example

You don't have to use the WiFi dongle, a supported Ethernet adapter will work too.

Thanks for the share. I will definitely look into this and keep you informed ;-)

UPDATE:

Can you please help me clarify those points:

• The HTTP requests are sent to the "{k3y-IP}". Are we talking about the xbox IP ?
• The HTTP services are provided by the xkey itself ? (the web interface has nothing to do with it, it is just a web server that uses these services and runs somewhere)
• Regarding the info available in the data.xml I will be dealing with just a game name and an id generated from the game path ?

If the latest is true then I will have no way to make a match between the games listed in the data.xml and the ones available in the XKeyBrew app (no correlative information). Moreover the info will be insufficient to download any other data (like cover or description) if a game is found on the HDD and was not previously loaded by the XKeyBrew app.

I can't seem to find a pertinent way to implement a WiFi feature that makes use of the existing data in the XKeyBrew app. Only thing I can think of is implementing a separate feature that just display the list of game returned by the data query and offers to launch them.. like the web interface or mobile apps does I think.

Do you agree ?

Hi Rob ! Any update ?

[Rob Lambell]

Aha. I hadn't seen that you'd updated your comment! Let me try to address each point in order.

{k3y-IP} is the IP of the xk3y device, connected using the official WiFi dongle or a compatible Ethernet adapter.

The xk3y device provides HTTP (lighttpd IIRC) and some functionality as detailed in the API documentation.

Yes, the Web Interface is HTML / JS which is bundled with the xk3y and makes use of the published API / services. The same code could be hosted elsewhere.

Here's an example data.xml

https://github.com/MrWaffle/xK3y-Web-Interface/blob/master/www/data.xml

The string checks in the example code I linked to would be sufficient for this to work. It is working code.

The game ID is a sha1 hash (this is the same as the CreateSectorMap method in the DVD Menu project) of the path to the iso, after games/. For example:-

#!

E:\games\FIFA 14\FIFA 14 [15467F11].iso
games/FIFA 14/FIFA 14 [15467F11].iso
FIFA 14/FIFA 14 [15467F11].iso
39677831299d46ac508bf532afba24cb1c05248c

As long as the part of the path we are concerned with matches on the xk3y and the XKeyBrew app games library, then the correct request can be made directly. I'd suggest this be kept straightforward, and that simply be explained as a requirement.

I'm trying to figure out how to get a supported Ethernet adapter to work with my xk3y, can any of you guys help me out?
