Parameter Breakdown

Variable	Required	Description
hostname	Yes	The server XBMC is listening on.
port	No	The port XBMC is listening on. By default the port is 8080.
userid	No	The account login to your XBMC server.

Example

Send a XBMC notification to our server listening on port 8080:

# Assuming our {hostname} is xbmc.server.local
apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
   "xbmc://xbmc.server.local"

# You may have a password and user protecting your xbmc server; so the
# following is another way to hit your xbmc server:
# Assuming our {hostname} is xbmc.server.local
# Assuming our {userid} is xbmc
# Assuming our {password} is xbmc
apprise -vv -t "Test Message Title" -b "Test Message Body" \
   "xbmc://xbmc:xbmc@xbmc.server.local"
