XBMC's skinning engine (even the older version we have) is the best one I know of, and I can say almost the same about the player. So we just want to use those components to build a fast, thin, fast client which talks to the Plex Media Server.
Will this part still be open source though? ie will others be able to make frontends for PMS? As much as i love the iOS apps and the server part of your software, I dont like the osx player so much. In a dream world, id much rather have PMS serving up XBMC clients around my house.
