Hello,
I have been tasked with connecting a custom Bluetooth device, conceptually a WiiMote, to XBMC and do so in a cross-platform manner. After having read through the documentation I am thinking a Java client to pair with the device and a connection to the Event Server is a viable way to go. I would have the Java client boot with the system so that the connection to the Event Server has already been established the moment the input device is turned on. I cannot possibly oversee the consequences of this decision right now though, and I was hoping anyone could point out any, if any, obvious flaws to this approach. I would also love to hear so if there is a better way of having this device interface with XBMC.
Thanks!
