i presume it was because of a problem which is quite common in software. xbmp probably wasn't designed initially to encompass the vast number of features and capabilities that it has today. without a complete re-write from the ground up it eventually becomes more and more difficult to implement new features and keep it bug free. they now have the benefit of hindsight and can avoid any problems which cropped up in xbmp.
plus there is the implementation of new core features which wouldn't be possible in xbmp without some major re-writes anyway. now they can start with a clean slate knowing pretty much exactly where they want to go and how they are going to get there. this should eventually result in a much faster, less resource hungry and more stable app with far fewer bugs. it also makes it easier for the devs to maintain, which is good for us since it means bugs get fixed much faster :d

i definately beleive the project should have been started over into something like this, looking at the old xbox media player it was a massive merge of two code bases, what we needed was a clean streamlined player written from scratch, since xbmp resembles more of a hack job then anything right now.
hopefully some of the non-official devs move over to this project and help contribute to it!

i have yet to install the xbmc, i was wondering how far off it is until it has the same functionality and stability (if you can call it that) of xbmp? what features are still lacking in comparison?
thanks.
