At the moment, I am auto starting XBMC, then minimise it to arrange my library using MediaFrontPage.

Is it possible to have access to JSON without XBMC running, perhaps running it as a service within Windows?

The reason I ask is because I would like access to the Library to keep everything up to date using Nick8888's MediaFrontPage - which requires access to JSON for certain queries.

Or is this my pipe dream?

Pipe dream. It's like asking for MediaFrontPage to be up while your computer is off.

I have an instance of XBMC running on my server for this purpose. It is minimized to the tray (by the clock) with a small windows program, so it doesn't get in the way.
Google for minimize to tray if your interested

Really what you are asking for in a whole other program that basically exposes the XBMC library database via JSON.
