Sorry Matt,

It is probably my limited understanding it as I am a controls systems programmer but I do not understand the behind the scenes as well as you gurus that actually write the plugins we use.

So as I understand it the new xbmc 11 (Eden) which is not out yet is quite different to the current xbmc is that right, and if you write it for Eden it will not work for current xbmc, boxee and Plex etc ?

As I already use apps such as Xbmc Commander www.xbmc-commander.com and Xbmc Constellation http://fss.cc/constellation and Xbmc constellation says it supports both xbmc and the the Eden 11 so that is why I was confused.

I'm not writing an XBMC plugin, i'm writing a driver for RTI that talks directly to XBMC.  Unless I have access to the features in Eden, it's just not worth doing against Dharma.  Dharma basically only gives you 1-way control.

Hi Matt I know you're on the WMC charge at the moment.

Is XBMC a non integratable solution now Eden is 11?

Not sure I follow?  Eden (Version 11.x) is what's required for my XBMC driver to work.  Dharma (10.1) only really supports 1-way control, no feedback.

Eden is still in Beta.

Excellent. So it's a matter of waiting, the impression I got was that XBMC wasn't viable anymore because they had released a less 'free' API.

XBMC works with more file formats out of the box, but WMC is going to be interesting, especially if someone comes out with a 3rd party 'Kinect'.

Hey Matt,

Not sure if it helps but I came across this when I was playing around with Command Fusion, I loaded it on my iPad and seems to work well. I know you were looking into developing a driver to allow Command Fusion to talk to XP8 processors.

Anyway here is the link let me know if it is of any help to develop this xbmc driver.

https://github.com/CommandFusion/XBMC/blob/master/README.markdown

Cheers

We already wrote a CF driver about 12 months ago.  Lets iViewer talk directly to the XP processors.

I'll be releasing the basic control part of the XBMC driver soon.  Most of the 1-way functionality is done, along with feedback for currently playing etc.

I've written some of the 2-way browsing functionality, but it needs some more time spent on it before it's ready.

Great if you need any testers let me know ?

Need something to test while you are trying to get the Media Center driver up and running?

Eden Beta 3 came out today... very exciting.  It's finally stable enough to do a serious driver.  I've got all the 2-way audio library browsing working.

I'll probably be ready for alpha testing next week.  Please form an orderly queue...

Absolutely.  Most of the time, if it's available in XBMC then it's possible (with some coding of course!) in the driver.
