As a followup to my post above, XBMC's uPnP implementation doesn't appear to like MythTV's. This is because MythTVs does its advertises and listens for searches on the muticast address (correctly), and XBMC's uses the broadcast address (due to lack of multicast availability in the XDK).

Aaaaand I can't figure out how to edit my previous message but it looks like MythTV should support the broadcast address (source code shows it creating the broadcast socket and it does wait on it, so...). In addition mythtv r13022:

I was wondering if anyone is using their Xbox with XBMC to interface with a Mythtv backend.
I am not impressed with the Mytvtv script and I was hoping that it might be possible to Xbox Frontend while keeping XBMC up and running. I don't want to loose the great features of XBMC.

Maybe a plugin might be a useful interface for this. No idea what sort of things a "MythTV frontend" is supposed to be able to offer.

I know it's early in the porting of XBMC on Linux, but I thought I'd stick the ol' hornets' nest and see what shakes loose.
MythTV is (IMHO) the best DVR application for Linux. However its media management isn't so hot - Mythmusic and Mythvideo are nowhere near as good as XBMC's. Plus, they don't get as much attention from the devs as the core MythTV application.
So, my question - Two parts, actually: One, has there been any talk or thought put into integrating XBMC into MythTV? And two, how hard would it be from a technical point of view? I'm no developer but I believe that the Myth plugins like MythMusic et al are executables just wrapped inside the big Myth wrapper - How hard would it be to fold XBMC's individual pieces inside MythTV?
