So I like the features, skins, and playback engine in XBMC however I love the actual media management of Plex (I hate dealing with NFO files and generally managing media in the media playback/browsing interface). Is there any way to read my Plex Library using XBMC? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Any takers on this? Has anyone successfully done this or could point me in the right direction for how to go about doing something like this?

IIRC there was a plugin that did this - search the addon forums perhaps?

I reccomend XBMC & Plex server together.

I use http://mymovies.dk for my whole library organization. (with enabled .nfo files for XBMC to scrape) Plex seems to pickup everything no problem as well. The key is having folders & files named to perfection.

I have multiple 3TB drives "pooled" into one giant drive thanks to http://stablebit.com/DrivePool. This means I only have 1 "Movies" folder and 1 "TV" folder to worry about.

I use combination of Windows Media Center (Windows 8 on my 2012 Mac Mini) & XBMC Frodo for my front end 10 foot experience while at home. I use Media Center for my Ceton CableCard Tuner DVR recordings. (since I'm not confident in XBMC PVR options yet, and the new HDHomeRun h.264 Prime isn't out yet)

I have Plex Server installed and use that for viewing via iPad/iPhone on the go, and can Mirror my output to friends Apple TV's or their XBMC setup.

For me that's the perfect blend. Everything is auto sorted and named to perfection via http://www.filebot.net/
MyMovies database is Fantastic once you set it up.

For my needs, I don't see the benefit of hassle time messing with plexbmc. I'm ready to try a new PVR solution other than Media Center in the near future though. (Microsoft officially abandoned it recently, but it's still king as of 2013)
