You are of course free to mod Quartz to a dedicated Plex client if interested, just put a disclaimer so it's clear that's Plexbmc mod of a skin.

Ta - As with confluence, all credit stays with the skin creators (thats the hard bit) and I simply add my name as the mod'er. On the newer confluence mod, I've started putting a plex logo (well, Plex on XBMC) so that it's a little more obvious whats going on. I'll do something similar for QUARTZ (If I mange to mod it, horizontal menus cause me problems)

On a side note, one question if you don't mind - taking into account efforts you invested, XonX around and recent patches to XBMC you provided - I tend to think XBMC media manager/server for OS X might be better/interesting alternative? I might be all astray, though.

You are probably right, but I'm not sure thats the direction that Team XBMC want to go in. They certainly don't want to split XBMC into a server and client product, which is fine. However, at the moment, XBMC is a bit heavy to be a server only, although the dirty region stuff may reduce it's overhead.

This is why I haven't spend as much time on XonX as I have n PleXBMC, Plex media server has all the facilities to run as a dedicated media server, XBMC isn't quite there yet. Simply things, like seeking in a file delivered by the web server doesn't work yet.

In the future, it would be nice if XBMC could be started in server only mode, and managed through the web interface (or managed through a 3rd party web interface using JSON).
