Hey - I found a firefox extension that seems to have a lot of promise - XBMC Fox.  It lets you forward urls to xbmc from firefox.  The problem is, I either get no responce from XBMC, or I get a progress bar, and then nothing.  

Ideally I'd like to use this extension with sites like Peekvid.com... but I'm not sure what I need to do to get from here to there... am I missing a scrips on my xbox or something...?

Thanks!

You have to make sure that the web server on the xbox is turned on, and on the computer, go into firefox, go to tools -> Extensions, right click on XBMC Fox, and input the xbox's IP.  If you've already done all those things, then I don't know.

Yes - I have done those things.

Let me give an example of the type of content I'm trying this with... maybe this will help with diagnosing the problem...

I'm trying to use XBMC Fox on pages like this one:  http://tv.peekvid.com/s2538/

thanks

Hi.

XBMC can only play Media Files.
It is NOT able to parse a html file and search videofiles in it.
When you send a link like http://tv.peekvid.com/s2538/e47422/ to xbmc it gets something like this:
