Phil,
Here are my answers...
Just a couple of questions:
1. Will it work on current svn versions of xbmc with the new plugin system?
Yes. This has bee tested with the latest svn's. (Linux)
2. Just to clarify how this is supposed to work. You need to fire up your media in vlc then play the stream on other machines with your xbmc plugin?
Nope... (But you could do that and it would work) so you got it somewhat right. You will load this plugin on another XBMC as well and lets call that one the MASTER, setup the plugin as directed but set the instance up as Master rather than slave. Once it is setup, anything that you play on that XBMC machine will be streamed to the clients automatically. This will enable you to control whats playing and volume throughout the whole house (or clients) from one XBMC (the master).
Now you can install and setup on another XBMC machine, but this time choose SLAVE when setting it up.
Check out the readme included (it's pretty straight forward) but let me know if you have a problem.
And as always, input and recommendations are welcome!
Regards,
