Not in the beginning but I will look into it.

They depend upon the developer's time and if the developer is absent for some time, they break. Rather basic add-ons like youtube work better.
This is why something like this is essential for XBMC. These days, I use the playit addon which is magnificent. I can browse in my laptop and whenever find something to watch click on the playit to see it on my TV. I strongly feel that this model of using the XBMC is going to be the popular one. Another string point for playit is that it has an Android app which helps to send stuff from my phone.
Since playit is a browser add-on it becomes portable on the laptop side. The problem with it, is that it needs a service to be installed on the XBMC side. But once done, you dont need to worry about it.
The other excellent thing about PlayIt is that it is integrated with UrlResolver. That makes it awesome. I think you need to consider that but then you need a add-on on the XBMC side. But if you use python, won't it be portable across platforms ?
But the drawback of playit is that it cannot play local files. So if you can do it that will be excellent. But portability on the laptop side is required. So that all users can take advantage.
Anyway looking forward to using XBeamMC. Great stuff

XBeamMC is independent from XBMC itself in the sense of how it is installed and used...the only portion that XBeamMC integrates with XBMC is the XBMC API that was designed for something like this to be done. The benefit of this is that it does not need to be ported to each Distro that uses XBMC or each device running XBMC or etc...it works with all XBMC devices/installs as long as they are using v12+ (Frodo or higher).
XBeamMC works with local files, direct urls to internet files, private network files, magnet links (torrents), original content websites (IGN, College Humor, etc), Live Streams (Ustream.tv, Al Jazeera, etc), and popular video sites (Youtube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, etc)
XBeamMC installs on a per user basis so multiple users can connect to different devices if desired. XBeamMC can be installed to work with Multiple XBMC Devices at once, some small modifications need to be made but in the future they will be made easier to do.
XBeamMC can be install on as many computers as you want it to without any limitation at all.
XBeamMC is compatible with multiple browsers including Firefox, Chromium, Iceweasel and Google Chrome with potential for Opera in the future. (Only Internet Explorer and Safari will be ignored unless community ported because both browsers are trash...Safari is less trash on OSX but it was deprecated on Windows and never released on Linux so I have no reason to bother.)
