Hi everyone,
I'm a windows media center user and I would like to make an open source add-on for windows media center that runs the video add-ons of the xbmc project. The xbmc project it's very active and updated and there are a lot of add-ons available while windows media center has very few addons but has better TV support to my opinion and I use it mainly for watching TV.
Before I start doing this big work, I would like some comments and suggestions about this.
I studied the xbmc code a little bit and from what I've seen the xbmc python api available to xbmc addons writers is made of 5 python modules with bindings to C++ code. Swig is then used to make the python library very easily.
These are the swig files with declarations for the python libraries, right ?
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/tree/master...faces/swig
Basically I would need to provide code for these functions (a wrapper) to get the same intended behavior under WMC for each function and then run the python code in the xbmc addon.
Thanks
