hence I rolleyes... no sense in beating the drum on something that cleary XBMC is gonna bypass altogether and prolly will never support it natively irrespective.

\\Edit I have no interest in CEC support personally, in fact its moot on all my systems even if they both support it.

Can I ask why you are arguing all of these points with no real factually backing behind any of your arguments? and to add further woe, you have just protested that you have no interest in CEC, from what I can gather you've never used it, nor understand the benefit.

At no point have I mentioned the NYXboard remote in this thread as it is largely unrelated to what we are developing. and regarding native support. I would gladly work to make XBMC source code support a native implementation of CEC if a graphics driver exposed it on any platform. The fact of the matter is, they don't and that's generally because of the flaky support across various hardware vendors of ION chips.

What we are creating is a common platform, where we know the capabilities of the device and then can really start to expand XBMC to talk with the rest of the hardware in your home theatre instead of being isolated.


I hope that this will address all of your concerns, if anyone has a question about what this device will do or how it will work with XBMC then this is the topic for it, if however it turns into a slinging match about native/non native support when native support isn't an option. I will lock the thread
