I think it was someone on the NMT forums that suggested this could all be a VNC client to a Windows/Linux/MacOS box running XBMC and commands from the Popcorn Hour remote sent through VNC as recognizable commands.

natethomas Wrote:That doesn't work as well with XBMC. We haven't been officially compiling builds since March, yet somehow (ahem) people have been getting their hands on builds using other methods. Every post about getting a tv-server to work is a post that we are officially not answering, because we said we wouldn't answer anything post those march builds and tv-server addons only came out after the fact.
With any luck, though, it won't be long now.

But would be nice if this turns out to be true, as I have an old A-100 that's been gathering dust for the last year or so.

They probably asked ejp to lead the port officially because of the licensing issues (GPL mixing with proprietary Sigma libraries), so it's not officially from Syabas, but behind the scenes they are probably supporting ejp to make the port possible.
Of course I can't be sure about this, but this is the impression I'm getting.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how well the port turns out to be and what limitations it will have.
