Last week I've altered the xbmc-addons plugin to use for my personal favorite plugin, scripts and skins. I can't really lable it because all I did was alter the urls in the script and fix a bug (which is also present in the newest xbmc-addons version!).
My three sister don't have a clue how to use FTP, so I did it mainly for them (or actually me, now I don't have to install the updates for them). I've 'forced' them to start listening to streams, music and video's without the need for old fashioned 'compact discs' :p (they were actually still doing that...). It's was time for some education, they were getting old to fast. I had success with that, more then I could dream of! I've bought a XBOX for the three of them and softmodded it and they are going true the roof. A network attached harddrive added to that, filled with my music collection and we have three (six, their boyfriends included) very happy people. They call me me a few times a week to tell me how happy they are with XBMC. All credits go to XBMC and all it's contributers. I've tried to make my sisters and boyfriends more 'digital-minded' for quite some time and XBOX combined with the XBOX did the trick. All other methods were to complicated. Even my dad is getting aroused!
I'm updating the plugins/scripts/skins every week and thought other people might like the same additions to XBMC as I do. I might add some features to the plugin like "Install all" and/or "Update all addons present on your XBOX" when I find the time.
I thought I should at least share the option to other XBMC users, even though it was intended to be used for personal use. Not all plugins you'd like to see might be downloadable. You can suggest addons, but I can't guarantee I'll add them. I'll only add addons that are updated regularly and usefull to me and my fam.
