I guess both this thread, and the project are dead.

Many thanks for that, I've downloaded it and got it working with the test code on page 1 of this thread with a VS2010 Express C# console application.
I am trying to use the XbmcJson.dll in a Windows 8 Metro app using the new Windows 8 Developer Preview build and VS2011.
When I add the XbmcJson.dll reference to the project it breaks the designer, the error it displays is:
System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException
Failed to read from an IPC Port: The pipe has ended.
And when I try and run the app with the reference added and the XbmcConnection setup I get this error:
Message = "File or assembly name 'System, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=969db8053d3322ac, Retargetable=Yes', or one of its dependencies, was not found."
Has anyone else played around with the Windows 8 dev tools yet or have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

You'll have to recompile the lib, targeting the WinRT profile.

Hopefully this thread isn't completely dead. I have been using this library in my project and even updated it a little with some more functionality. My question is how can I update the library somehow so I can check to see if XBMC is still running and the connection is still live? I don't want to have to restart my program that is used to control XBMC if XBMC has to be restarted or the machine it is on is turned off.

That's great! How is it going so far? Now that the first Beta of Eden is out I would like to update my project to support it. Is your v3 of the library in a usable state?

Currently my project is only doing the following:
Sending Play/Stop/Skip ffw/back commands for video
Receive notifications for playback started/stopped/resumed/ended/paused
Eventually I will be adding a lot more integration between my project and XBMC, but that is is all I am using for now.
Thanks for deciding to take over development of this!
