I had a wet dream last night :-)
XBMC media server was running on my NAS. When I turned on ATV2, it found it through zeroconfig and was fed with updates NAS scraped in meantime. I was just to press PLAY when I woke up, so I don't know how it ended? :-)

I just recently started using xbmc because of and add-on called PseudoTV. I'm at a very odd point in my relationship with these programs now, as I love Plex for its PMS and Library, but i'm finding XBMC to be faster and (most importantly to me) it runs PseudoTV; a program i've been hoping would exist (on Plex) for the last 2+ years.
Gratefully, your efforts are helping me migrate fully to XBMC (with Plex Media Server), though because of my fondness for PseudoTV I humbly request some way to integrate the PMS data into the XBMC library, as it is the only way PseudoTV will recognize all of my files.
XBMC has only successfully recognized two-thirds of my movies because of, admittedly, my own poor labeling. I simply don't have the time, or ambition, to re-label them all.
Thanks again for your Plex add-on and Confluence integration, I love these programs!

What`s the point of this Plex Media Server thing in the first place?
All i see is
a) A very limited metadata manager that can`t store local metadata in each folder in a specific container (.nfo or xml), nor does it store artwork, nor does it auto-rename movies and TV shows to proper names etc. Basically all that Media Center Master (one ex of a great metadata manager) does.
b) Transcoding support for iOS devices running Plex. What`s the use for this for our beloved XBMC, since XBMC on iOS already has support for H.264 inside an MKV container (+ hundreds of other containers and video/audio codecs). Why would you need transcoding for a box that can play all those files natively?

h264 is not the only format.
