Moby,
I think there is.
With MPC Homecinema you can have it send the information to IM. I have tested this and when the video is playing, it send the title to IM... when the video stops, the title no longer shows on IM.
You could intercept the messages being sent to IM.
There is also a web interface, not sure if it has the same status functionality.
Also, it should be pretty easy to detect when an app has exited... XBMC can do this natively, yes?
