Someone is developing a WMC TV backend plugin for XBMC

This piqued my interest quite a bit.

If you don't need protected content support, sure.

Goes without saying.

Really interested in this myself.

Bump: The plugin developer wants a short clip of a copy protected .wtv file (or entire file, seeing as I don't know if you can edit/trim copy protected files) so that he can make an appropriate pop-up/notification when attempting to play one via XBMC - I figured I'd post this here as someone from this forum might be able to help him more than those already on the XBMC forums.

I'm thinking of maybe making some Raspberry Pi 'extenders' when/if this plugin ever comes to fruition As I only have QAM channels, this will work perfectly for me.

Edit: He says thanks too

Thought people might be interested in this. Still some bugs but XBMC is close to replacing WMC.

Yeah I haven't gotten to test it yet. He sent me the link - but I have a 4TB drive arriving Monday. I then have to move some content around and do a reformat. Then, set everything backup and finally install and configure XBMC. Probably a next weekend project.

Thanks for posting pics though - how is working so far for you?

How do you like the server backend program icon I made for him ?

Unfortunately Live TV isn't working for me yet but looks close. Scheduling recordings and watching recorded TV does work. For me it will give me more Extender options and XBMC is a much better interface for movies and TV series.

Icon is good btw.
