I took a brief look at converting plexbmc as well, but didnt get too far.. if you could share the git link, id like to take a look, just dont know how much time il have to contribute..

Okay, like I said this is a total hack right now.
But... If you want to play, download and install PleXBMC.
Go into the plugin settings and turn auto discover off, specify your MB3 ip and port.
Then go to my repository here:
https://github.com/xnappo/plugin.video.plexbmc
Replace default.py with the one in my repo.
Search for any occurrences of: 81452d964095cf6c18af19ac559f08c5 and replace with the 'id' found here: http://localhost:8096/Mediabrowser/Users
Search for any occurrences of: 4a9b8f589564a0bb2dc7fbe54c1e3ff1 and replace with the 'id' found here: http://localhost:8096/Mediabrowser/Users/{id from above}/Items/Root
If all goes well, you will be able to browse your library (in a very boring way).
I am totally booked this weekend, I hope to spend some more time on it next weekend and make more progress since I sort-of understand what is needed now
.

[EDIT] A quick and easy thing to help with is to grab that id stuff automatically. The MB3 API docs have more info...

el_cabong and nickr :
Definitely would appreciate any pre-alpha testing and and code contributions.
I made a to-do list at the repo (copied below).
Honestly a lot of them are nice little 1/2 hour to 1 hour tasks if you have some time
xnappo
[ ] Grab user ID automatically
[ ] Grab root directory automatically
[ ] Support multiple users
[ ] Support passwords
[ ] Fix TV browsing
[ ] Add item description metadata
[ ] Add item details metadata (file type, resolution, playtime, etc)
[ ] Add tracking of partial playback
[ ] Add tracking of played items
[ ] De-plexify code (remove all references to PLEXBMC, other than thanks to Hippojay)
[ ] MB3-ify - add MB3 artwork collateral etc
[ ] Document how to add root entry points from main menu to the add-on
[ ] Add 'recently added' support
[ ] Add sorting support
[ ] Add delete support
[ ] Setup repo/addon config so installing PLEXBMC is not required first
[ ] Find server automatically
[ ] Cache more locally (full etree?)
[ ] Determine whether cached is valid (changed on server - add version to cached filename?)
[ ] Work with XMBC devs and MB3 devs to fix chunked-encoding image grabbing (maybe not needed?)

I can help with the testing (but not the dev...) Let me know specifically what to test since there is a lot to be done still (don't want to nag you with known issues...)

Basically right now if you can get browsing of movies and playback working - it would be good to know it works for someone else.
Note that when you first enter a directory, it takes a long time as it needs to cache images locally right now. After the first time it will be fairly fast.
If you get an error, please turn on debugging in the Settings->Systems area and post your logfile on pastebin.com.
Thanks!

question, would it be possible to pre cache all images (like with artwork organizer)?

ok, I was able to see the library list from MB.
I always got a script failed when trying to get in my collection except in TV...
In TV, never saw any image...
But from there, can't get in any TV show (cannot contact host)...
logs:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5118...s/xbmc.log
***Note that in this test, XBMC wasn't on the same pc as MB server.

Thanks - I am actually happy with that result for now
I have WAY to much stuff printing in the log - I may ask you to retry after I tweak the script. I will see if I can wade through it tonight.

Will do. I already see the error with your Movies collection and can re-create it (has to do with special characters in a title, I saw this myself and hacked around it).
For TV, not sure why you didn't see artwork... Will need to take a closer look.
xnappo
[EDIT] Apparently I don't know how to use git. Will fix tonight.
