now that xbmc runs on the new atv, i want pms support more than ever. id love to have atvs discretely hidden behind all my tvs, but not at the price of organizing and maintaining several differen libraries.

read what he wrote. if the plex guys starts respecting the gpl (or more likely the lgpl), we may just reconsider. until then they are dicks who steal from the community. we don't deal with such people.

Plex is probably not a way as they are trying hard to differentiate from Xbmc and what seams achievable today, could just easily change in the future.
Nevertheless, Xbmc has ability to export library. Could this be fed form desktop to iOS by some kind of deamon? XML part at least?

Again, it's just not something we're interested in doing. If YOU want to do it, go right ahead. Start with some simple python tutorials on the web to get the hang of how python works. Build up your knowledge and then start looking at how to parse XML and write it into an XBMC addon. As always, we're happy to help out with any issues you face on that front.
Cheers,
Jonathan

I am writing a Plex export app that will output XBMC nfo's so that all you should have to do is run the app as an "update library for XBMC" methodology. Then when you add your shares to XBMC, it should see all of your metadata from your PMS.

We are interested in an XBMC solution that supports open source code, not a solution involving the closed source Plex Media Server.

A PleXBMC add-on is coming to connect to PMS from within XBMC.
