Can somebody explain the major difference(s) between this add-on versus dteirney's one? My understanding is that this is based on libcmyth, whereas dteirney's is based on MythXML(?). What is the difference between these two implementations and are there inherent advantages/disadvantages to each one?
Also does libcmyth have a separate active upstream? (My understanding is that the code originally derives from http://www.mvpmc.org/ ) And if so, are the changes to libcmyth pushed back there regularly? i.e. would this be considered a true fork, or simply a private, but slightly patched version of the libcmyth tree? I ask because I maintain the Fedora/RPM Fusion package for XBMC and we (and most Linux distros, generally) prefer to package libraries system-wide and then have individual applications compile against the system-wide versions rather having private code trees.
