First of all thank you for your very encouraging post VJxbmc. When i made this addon i just made it, submit it to the official repo, and let it be. I never knew if people were using and liking it or not. And because of your feedback and request i will definitally start working on a Eden addon also. I'm going to look in to PLEX, it looks like it uses python scripts also so hopefully most of the code i already have will apply and I just need to learn the specifics of PLEX. I agree a roku addon would be cool too but that might be further in the future, especially considering i don't even have a roku for testing.
Also to address some of other things in your post. I do computer repair also and I think its funny you are still using Ubuntu 10.04, because i agree that is probably the last release i really loved Ubuntu. I am not a fan of Unity, although i will admit it is better now than it was when it was first released, but i have grown to love Gnome 3. Also just fyi if you install gnome in the newer versions of Ubuntu.
You will get both Gnome 3 and Gnome 2 which is labeled gnome classic in the ldm menu.
Also if you for some other reason still want to stick with Ubuntu 10.04 then take a look at this ppa.
You now have XBMC Frodo on Ubuntu 10.04.
Again thanks for the feedback and encouragement and i will hopefully start working on getting XBMC Eden and PLEX addons working soon.
