Hey all, I haven't checked out the XBMC source code yet, but I recently switched over to your platform from TVersity, whom, as you know now charge for the basic version (which I couldn't get to work on Win8 x64, and was not issued a refund).
I'm just wondering what are the technical restrictions in not being able to use addons through DLNA. It seems like, since everything is displayed in a list view, a list view should be possible through DLNA. Granted, we'd have to make sure that the request is fulfilled within DLNA timeout settings.
Here's an example: Let's say I have the YouTube addon hooked up to my YouTube favourites. I'd like to be able to play my favourites via DLNA on my Smart TV (or some such device). When I click a video, my XBMC server downloads the file, and transcodes it on-the-fly to a format my TV can play.
Is there any effort underway to implement this type of feature?
