I am also curious. This 'headless' version would be very nice. Will try out some stuff today.

I have vajonam version running 24/24 7/7 on my home server to periodically update library.
Be careful, if you try the web interface, launching a video through it crashes XBMC.
Edit: As written by vajonam, server version is not in the master branch of his repo, so don't forget to branch to Eden-Server before compiling.

sorry I dont have a windows environment seems like its a pretty generic error.
FC: cannot open ..\..\XBMC\WIN32\GIT_REV.H - No such file or folder
not sure how to fix this or why this is missing on the eden, if you mange to fix let me know can I can include this.

I am not sure this problem is specific to my fork, there is git_rev.tmpl that needs to get converted to git_rev.h, on Linux there is ./bootstrap and ./configure that sets all those up, is there an equivalent in Win32?

- configure somewhere a Eden Beta XBMC in portable mode, with GUI
- sources
- Install Addon Service LibraryAutoUpdate
- Activate/Configure WebServer
- copy userdata and addon folder to your headless XBMC install configuration folder (linux: <user>/.xbmc/)
To lower cpu usage:
Use a profile and turn everything of you don't need: RSS, upnp, etc.
Maybe using a very simple skin can also help since XBMC is started and maybe still lot's of gui-code is still executed...
Maybe you can post some cpu usage (compared to full xbmc)?

I should give it a look, but it is pretty low.
My Linux VM which hosts the XBMC server also hosts:
- SickBeard
- CouchPotato
- HeadPhone
- few other services
ESXi give a mean CPU usage of less than 100MHz (from one i5-2400 core)
Without server implementation (with desktop added to VM), i was nearly at 100% usage on the single vCPU.
