Hi Christian,
I see that you were successful at:
Using XMLhttpRequests to launch the items on the manus (via AJAX remote)
I was wondering how you did this? I am trying to implement similar IP control of RemoteBuddy.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Brett,
This might sound a bit hackie but is works reliably and quickly once you get it in place
1. Turn on the 'Enable AJAX' (uncheck 'Require password' for now)
2. Use the Chrome browser to navigate to the AJAX Remote's web output at http://YOUR_IP:8888/
3. When you see remote right-click the page and select 'Inspect Element'
4. From Chrome's built in inspector select the 'Console' tab
5. Right-click into the white space in the Console and select 'Log XMLhttpRequests'
6. Now click on the AJAX Remote's 'Menu' botton and select what you are looging for... you will see the XMLhttpRequests in the console, they look like this:
http://YOUR_IP:8888/Menu/menuEngine.rmbd?command=goToRootLevel&offset=0&sid= (jumps you to the main menu)
http://YOUR_IP:8888/Menu/menuEngine.rmbd?command=select&offset=8&sid= (selects the 9th menu item of the main menu)
7. Now, depending on how and what you are doing... you send the sequence of XMLhttpRequests that select your desired command, have an unversal remote iOS app (Thinkflood's Redeye) that I'm using to send the right sequence of requests... it looks like this:
<a href="#" onclick="sendRequest('http://YOUR_IP:8888/Menu/menuEngine.rmbd?command=goToRootLevel&offset=0&sid='); sendRequest('http://YOUR_IP:8888/Menu/menuEngine.rmbd?command=select&offset=8&sid='); sendRequest('http://YOUR_IP:8888/Menu/menuEngine.rmbd?command=select&offset=0&sid='); return false;"> Fullscreen iTunes<br>Visualizer</a>
