Yes, it's pretty trivial (but needs a custom build). Remove the ifdef here:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...nfig.h#L91
Then you can context-menu/play with dvdplayer. However some plugins are hard coded to dvdplayer, so will no longer use omxplayer (hence the ifdef code).
However I've never seen a stream that will keep up with software decoding on the Pi. I'd guess the limit will be about QVGA (320x240).
So, I'm not going to encourage this change. If you can build xbmc yourself, then feel free to try it.
