So that's a no? Nothing wrong with giving a simple answer to a simple question.

Jonathan, you are absolutely correct and I apologize for my silly response. It was dimwitted of me.

I am not sure I understand the purpose of the question in relation to this thread (must be missing something?), but that has never stopped us from digressing before, so why now?

The reality is we have already written several Plex Media Server clients that do not use any XBMC code. That trend may continue as we expand to new platforms. We may also revisit the long term strategy for our Mac player, but I don't believe we have anything to share on that front currently. Ultimately, our goal is to continue to improve the user experience and further our vision...how that comes about is always a fluid and fun process. I don't think anybody on the Plex team is going to be religious about using any particular codebase to meet those goals--if we can further it via an XBMC-derived base or something new entirely is always open for debate from our perspective. Leveraging the opportunities each platform enables to provide the best performance and experience will always factor in, as I am sure you can appreciate! Making sure the Plex Media Server platform is open for other developers to write their own clients is another aspect of our approach that suggests folks will use whatever codebase upon which they choose to build the best possible experience.

Does that help?
