There are basically three problems with this right now (apart from any known/unknown bugs):
  1. I most likely won't have time to take care of any bugs and issues this would cause which would result in a huge additional burden on other developers.
  2. The implementation only covers videos and music hasn't been done yet.
  3. Right now the only way to write media imports is in C++. I would prefer it if we had a python add-on interface which would make it a lot easier for other people to write imports for Emby, Plex et al.

This seems to be a huge amount of work though.. https://github.com/Montellese/xbmc/commits/ohnet
Maybe something for GSoC?
Well that's not really a necessity for this work. It would allow a bit more flexibility and additional integration like downloading imported items for offline viewing but the basics needed work fine with the existing platinum SDK.
