i've started preliminary work on connecting to the powerfile c200 so that i can use it with xbmc (using xbmsp), so far i can get the trays to show and can position the jukebox to the tray (even watch an avi stream).
i'm having an issue trying to show the proper errors using xbmsp for some reason whenever an error message is sent it's not appearing up in the xbmc (xbmc just quits what it was doing and returns back to the previous menu)
.. anybody know if this is broken or am i sending the wrong message id ?
any place i can get a sample of these errors (using c#) ?
thanks.

Sounds like at least something is using uPnP which XBMC also can use.
Add a uPnP bookmark and see if it pops up. Not every server does, as the xbox hardware does not have multicast capability.

Thanks for the response - I will work with the guys programming for the VGP-XLB to find out what protocal its using and let you know.

So I've got the changer hooked up and network shared. Under uPnP on XBMC I select the changer and the DVD that is currenlty loaded into the changer plays great (cc are enabled but I imagine that's something we can overcome). There is obviously no ability to scan the entire contents of the changer - I believe My Movies does this by keeping a remote .xml of the contents, but I'm not exactly sure. Is this something that XBMC could potentially do?

Thanks for the help, but I was actually hoping for an interface where XBMC would locate the movie on the DVD Changer and launch the title as if it were stored on a network hard drive.

Nope - just trying to get a flavor for the communication protocal as the guys I know who are programming for the changer don't have XBMC. Worst of both worlds as I'm stuck in the middle trying to translate back and forth, and I'm not a great translator.
