Completely cool! Nice work! But personally, I will be unable to use it, unless it would become supported (and be integrated in the core code) by Team-XBMC.
And I am sure this will go for many people who do not want/are not able to patch and compile the XBMC code every time. Or people who already regularly create XBMC-builds from the development branch, which will also require frequent changes for the integration of SpotyXBMC
I hope you will be able to make this in to a plugin at some point in time. This is wat plugins are meant for
But don't let my criticism hold you back in any way. I am sure a lot of the people here will be very happy and I admire your work. But I sure do hope that spotify support will also become available as a plugin any time soon.
If Spotify is supported in XBMC reliably, officialy and endurably, I will for sure get a premium subscription at them.
Just one side-question though on licensing issues and such:
I thought the upcoming release, eden, would already contain a framework and hooks for binary/closed source plugins that would allow developers or companies to release add-ons for XBMC without requiring to worry about the license XBMC is under? Or will this be delayed much further?
That would really be a shame since I want spotify support so bad, but I am not willing to purchase an extra device for it unless I would purchase something that can replace my mediacenter PC (WAF factor)
