this is huge!
i wonder if they can build a "streamlined" version of mediaportal for just using as a back-end for xbmc?
los93sol,
are you heading this up for the xbmc forum? if you are, maybe you can suggest the "streamlined" version.

i'm not sure this was merged into the right thread as i was speaking much more generally and this thread is rather restrictive to streaming and tv functionality. it doesn't stop there, think about the caller id script, could be a mp plug-in, xbmsp shares could be a mp plug-in, ftp could even be a mp plug-in. just some suggestions here to get you thinking along the lines of what i am talking about. if i could just install a plug-in if i wanted to use some "extended" feature of xbmc i would much prefer to have a centralized downloading location and to only run one app to have access to any of the "extended" feature i had setup rather than having to launch multiple apps on my pc each time.
regards,
los93sol

i was thinking the same thing jaiume, and it uses live555 to stream live tv, which i think is already in xbmc or could easily be added

I DEFINITELY AGREE!
My only question is will XBMC be able to be used as a pass through to allow HD video to pass? I'd like to only have the XBOX hooked to the TV, otherwise it basically defeates the purpose of using XBMC as a client.

The MP TVServer also is controlled via .Net remoting which I don't think will work from the xbox. This will require a Web service or something similar as a plugin to MP to proxy all requests to the master MP server.

Reading through this I notice all the threads are old...has there been any development on integrating mediaportal client into XBMC?
This would just be the perfect addition to XBMC. Imagine a multiroom setup with an XBox in each room providing PVR and multimedia wherever you were.
Not only that with the plugin flexibility of MediaPortal, all sorts of extras would be available...
if you've ever installed that plug-in you'll understand better what i mean about how it could be utilized to tie xbmc and mediaportal closer together and how easy it would be for users to setup. in my opinion it would be ideal to use mediaportal plug-ins as a standard to create a sort of package deal like with windows media center and the media center extender.
