xbev is a simple eventclient for XBMC written in Python, it creates a window using gtk and sends any keypresses received on that window to XBMC's eventserver. It also uses the JSON-RPC api to show a text input box when XBMC sends Input.OnInputRequested, the text entered there will be sent to XBMC using Input.SendText, this can be used to enter text in xbmc when needed. This feature is only supported in XBMC Frodo and higher.

usage: xbev [HOST]

If xbev is started without arguments, it will automatically try to detect the ip address using zeroconf.
