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?
