You could maybe be able to convince Team Boxee to implement it as media player core (in Boxee) because of this feature:

Quote:Support for monolithic plugins. Allows for a plugin to encapsulate many operations such as reading a file, decoding it and sending the output to a sound card. This is particularly useful for DRM implementations.

IIRC someone at Boxee mentioned that in the long term (future) they will be looking to also supporting DRM video/audio streams if it can be done via plugins without violating the GPL. If Boxee implements it then we can backport it to XBMC, or maybe they could even add it to XBMC directly themselves.

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.
