Either way, excellent work on this plugin!
If someone decides to port it to the xbmc4xbox project then it probably could. I can't think of any technical reason why it wouldn't work on the xbox. I just don't have access to the programming tools for the xbox (you need to acquire them directly from Microsoft for a pretty hefty fee) so I won't be the guy to port it unfortunately. But feel free to ask the guys who look after that project and point them to this patch.

Harry, you are awesome! I've been following your posts for the last couple weeks and finally decided to give this a go.... I've been trying to get SlingBox Pro HD on XBMC on Linux using git and your new patches. Getting lots of errors. Has anyone else successfully got this working?

The Slingbox Pro HD won't always work with this patch cause some (most) encrypt all resolutions, unlike other Slingbox models that always leave certain resolutions unencrypted.

I remember reading that. That is ok for now....I just look forward to being able to make a connection thru xbmc.....right now I can get close to 5.8 Mbps but with the WINE solution my set up can't handle it and I drop frames. I want to see if the xbmc solution is any better albeit with encryption....I'll still be able to tell if it is pixelated and dropping frames based off of the videos of the encrypted slings I've seen.....at any rate, kudos again and thanks for replying!

Please post XBMC.zip with the latest patch for Dharma 10.1. Your first XBMC.zip only gets audio and no video from my Slingbox Solo.
Any idea with Slingbox will be officially included in XBMC?

I don't think I'll have time to do another Slingbox release based on 10.1 anytime soon. As for your issue of only getting audio and no video, feel free to post a full debug log and I'll take a look.

I've gotten it to work, but like Harry said, SBPro HD resolutions are encrypted. I don't get audio, but I do get a video stream that becomes garbled every few second. Unless any video geniuses with encryption can fix this, I think us SBPro users are sol or stuck with windows and mac anyway.
The post with my compiled binary is here.

Harry, is your code based off latest git from nightly? It should work if so for 10.1, which was only released a week ago. I looked at your changes. I don't see anything in there about encryption though
I know this is out of your expertise. I'll try it out and see if I get audio this time. Even though the stream is garbled a bit, it would be watchable with audio.

I actually think the garbling is a result of the audio information infringing on the video information ... cause I don't think they actually use real encryption. I have a feeling that what's happening is that somewhere the frame length information for the video or possibly audio too is specified incorrectly so it either tries to decode part of the audio data as video or part of the video data as audio.

I was wrong ... I did have time to do a release based on 10.1
You can download the needed files here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IMVF48FD
This release actually contains two of my patches. The latest Slingbox patch (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/77) and also the latest Disc Stub patch (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/76). For more details on the Disc Stub patch look here: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/10384 .
The zip file only contains the exe file and two other support files. What you need to do is install the original XBMC 10.1 installation and then replace the XBMC.exe file, copy the strings.xml file into the "language/English" folder (overwriting the existing file) and copy the DialogPlayEjectCancel.xml file into the "addons/skin.confluence/720p" folder.
Enjoy,
Harry
