so true.
Or at least a fully working PleXBMC plugin!

Advanced launcher do not have support of samba paths because most of the emulators do not support samba paths. So... no really interest.

This isn't even beta-level yet. No one should be surprised that some things don't work yet in a pre-release build. If you want stable then use the stable releases.
You know who else uses XBMC stable builds? Plex does. Their desktop clients are built on top of XBMC. So... Yeah....

The big thing is that Plex Media Server (PMS) automates this process. With XBMC, at least for the time being, you need to install MySQL on whatever you're using to store the library and set everything up yourself. For a lot of people, that's a showstopper right there.
I was wondering, what is wrong about putting the library on a shared folder and then moving the library into MySQL so it can be shared from different XBMC installations, wouldn't this do exactly the same thing the Plex server side does (minus the transcoding of course)? I was about to implement this but now I am wondering why people is asking for a XBMC server install when all you need is a computer with MySQL (in any platform)...
Am I missing something?

XBMC = unautomated and unpolished, but gives you every customization option imaginable in order to do both yourself and the way you want.
With that, Plex has its uses. I talked my mom into forgoing tv service and just getting highspeed internet. With her having a myplex account and me a plex server, I am able to share what I want to with her so she has access to movies, tv shows, and the internet.
Personally I never got much into XBMC. I originally looked at it. But I didn't want to deal with newsserver downloads, and that seems to be what everyone here is doing with it and the direction all the plugins go.
