Hmm, so in order for this to work there needs to be a proper multi-platform plugin API that support OpenGL all over. It's not impossible, but takes a lot of work..

As it seems from screenshots, XMBC draws some song info etc on top of the visual. I guess this could be done in an OpenGL context as well, having said context floating in a window on top of the other window. But that's not something I want to get into, we already have a project like this with amarok (which has been running for like 2 years without success, albeit on linux) and it ended up quite messy.

So I guess to try a windows version of VSXu is kind of pointless.

Maybe for GNU/Linux, but supporting only one platform is not really our style..

If however XMBC team will provide a plugin architecture which supports OpenGL - I'm all for it. Smile
