LOL
No idea, I rip all of our DVD's to DIVX. I think we've watched one DVD in the past year.
We have put a few cartoon DVDs on here and there, but we used our DVD player for those.
Basically, Plex works for our wants.

@queeup: Thanks, that's a great help. If you could document what you HAVE found works (eg directly in listitem.cpp), and put up a diff we'd be greatly appreciated. I'm more than happy to fill in the blanks of a particular function.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Yeah well I'm a mac user and prefer XBMC
edit: might I suggest renaming the title of this thread so it doesn't devolve into another XBMC vs Plex thread?

Yes. It's a good idea. I'm not create this tread for compare XBMC vs Plex.
@jmarshall : Sure. Let me try then

Plex will soon be obsolete once 9.10 is out. Except they'll backport all functionality but then it will be obsolete again by the release of 10.04

We have a MacBook for my wife (and movies), I have a XP desktop and my three year old plays with the Qimo 4 Kids Linux Distro. We're pretty well rounded.
As for XBMC vs PLEX, I'm not into that. XBMC worked for me for years on my XBox, it's been working for a year on my wifes MacBook but I think that machine needs a fresh OS install. There's a bit of cruft on that machine due to me learning my way around OSX using that machine. I have a feeling that's what's causing problems with XBMC.
PLEX just works for me right now. I also tried BOXEE, it also just works, but I don't like the interface that much. Also, being in Canada, none of the suggestions or feeds that are there when you log into BOXEE ever work for me. I haven't gotten into customizing it to see what I can make work.
Whenever I get a chance to reinstall OSX you can bet XBMC will be the first thing I put on. Hopefully, at the very least, those horrible noises I get are gone. I'm leaning towards the network issues I am having within XBMC causing those noises.

Done. Queep, I hope the title reflects your intention for this thread?
- queeup - 2009-10-21
Yesss it's perfect. Let me start then (http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/7424)
- queeup - 2009-10-22
I wonder, what do you think about xbmc,xbmcgui,xbmcplugin modules inside C development beside outside C (normal *.py files) development. I think normal python module development easier then embedded type. (Or is it possible?)
Could someone explain to me embedded C modules and normal python module pros and cons?
- jmarshall - 2009-10-23
The key is the communication with XBMC.
You can either go for some message-passing system (eg passing some XML or JSON strings over pipes) or you go for direct transfer of information by having a python module implemented in C that allows the transfer.

@jonathan
lol I don't understand what you are talking about
Nevermind. Could you review my ticket? Also I forgot Cc to other devs. Could you do that for me?
- spiff - 2009-10-23
not really related to this, but i think by doing for #1 we would have much better chances at designing a saner api
- queeup - 2009-10-24
I think @jonathan is busy with other stuffs or I add wrong Cc person. If any other devs interested pls come and join to review.
@spiff
Hmm do you wanna give us some saner api idea examples. I really wonder your ideas.
