Hi all!
I am the lucky owner of an iPod classic and a XBMC user since long ago.
So I've been thinking of having this feature in XBMC and since I was tired of waiting for someone to implement direct iPod-XBMC communication I tried to code it myself.
So this is basically a very simple plugin to play songs of your connected iPod. It runs only in linux AFAIK and it needs libgpod library and python bindings (on ubuntu: apt-get install python-gpod).
AND it CRASHES sometimes on my machine (but it is an ARM build on a pandaboard, so it could be easily not my fault)
You can find it in https://github.com/chaosct/XBMC-iPod-plugin .
And if you can and want improve it, just do so! it's github :p
Edit:
You will also need a nightly build of XBMC or XBMC Eden in order to let Python load external libs as python-gpod.
