well, it actually appears to be working as expected - i've got mediafrontpage talking to this back-end server quite happily, the json-rpc side of things included.
next trick will be putting together a daemon script to stop/start it cleanly, but other than that, i'm happy. i'm struggling to get curl to call the http-rpc interface - unauthorised, apparently.
any idea how i go about submitting this for inclusion in the mainline codebase?

You can create a pull request on github for inclusion... Great No-GUI-approach to have some extra xbmc power.. And can you tell something about the impact on system resources? And given your topic title, is this Linux-only?

Eden is in feature lock and debug. This will (if it works) make it into frodo.
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `xbmc_%`.* TO 'xbmc'@'%';
IF you have a mysql problem, find one of the 4 dozen threads already open.

once it made it into frodo (fingers crossed again) there should be enhancements to the JSON RPC to be able to manage media data headless too.
think about the possibilities:
Edit all data within XBMC WebInterface without the need of an external tool (and without PHP/MYSQL connection). XBMC keeps full control over the DB and no third-party software needs to be adjusted when the DB structure changes.
Implement some transcoding and you could watch your movies directly in the WebInterface in a HTML5 enabled browser.
sooo many possibilities!!!11

Wicked, this looks like it's exactly the thing I'm after.
A headless server managing sickbeard, couchpotato, xbmc scrapes of new content etc...
I'll be keeping an eye on this as I start to think about what headless machine to go for.

This is exactly the type of thing I have been looking for.
But how do you configure the sources/webUI/library details without a GUI? I assume there must be a text file or something that I need to edit?
Thanks
Edit:
Found it, I need to fiddle with guisettings.xml and sources.xml in the user data folder.

I'm on Linux ;-) but you topic title could be misleading to other platform users...
Too bad your
pull request doesn't get the attention it deserves: It's a much wanted feature and it would be great if some devs had a look at it...
