This is a small (open source) python class and commandline utility for sending links to your xbmc for playback.

This script will send urls (audio, video, youtube, images) to your xbmc htpc machine for playback, and is smart enough to send youtube and vimeo links in a way that will trigger their proper playback using xbmc youtube and vimeo addons.

In addition, it can also be used to send local files, which is does by first ftping the file and then instructing your xbmc to play it from the newly uploaded location.

To configure:
1. Customize your xbmcsettings.py file to specify your xbmc ip,port,username, and password.
2. If you want to use the ftp feature you need to set up an ftpserver on your xbmc machine and then configure it in xbmcsettings.py.
3. Make sure your JSON RPC API is enabled in your xbmc.

To use:
1. Invoke on commandline xbmcsender.py and pass url (uri) on commandline (enclosed in double quotes).
   You can also pass the option --exit to exit without confirmation.
