Hi All, We have reached a couple of new milestones with XBMB3C - release 0.9.0 AND a new skin repo! But before going into the details, a few words... We really would like to invite both MediaBrowser users who have previously tried XBMC and found the database capabilities lacking, and XBMC users who have tried or heard about MediaBrowser but found the hardware support lacking to give XBMB3C a shot! What we are trying to do here is take the very powerful, VERY multi-platform XBMC playback and skinning engine, and combine it with the awesome meta-data and database management capabilities of MediaBrowser3. This strips away a lot of the somewhat cobbled together XBMC back-end database scripts and makes for a much cleaner user experience, while opening MediaBrowser3 to 7-foot low-end devices powered by Android or OpenElec. So - what is new? XBMC 0.9.0 adds: Search capability Better skin integration Added Favorite Shows node Update NextUp widget on stop Check that service is running Error handling for non-UNC paths Photo widget support Better MB3->XBMC art mapping Meta-data for playback in-progress items More granular debug logs No meta-data cache for less than 25 items (helps with TV status updates) XBMB3C 0.9.0 is available in to official XBMC Video AddOns repository. In addition, we are announcing the XBMB3C skin repo - available here: http://im85288.no-ip.org/xbmc/addons/xbmb3c-repo/repository.xbmb3c-1.0.0.zip Here you will find a great, growing collection of XBMC skins modified specifically for MediaBrowser3 functionality: Aeon MQ5: Arctic: Confluence: Eminence Xperience 1080++ Aeon Nox 4.1.9 Gotham coming VERY soon! We hope you will give XBMB3C a shot - if you need ANY help feel free to ask here: http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/forum/99-xbmb3c/ And... we aren't stopping here. Coming soon to XBMB3C: Multiple fanart support Actor images, data and searches Theme music support xnappo

This is a great plugin! Already using it daily! Thanks for all the hard work that everyone has put into this.

I mean really, what were you expecting??? Unicorns to fly out of your HTPC shoot rainbows at your mobile device of choice and a dozen non-threating munchins sing your viewing options to you as a nude swimsuit model pushes the play button? LOL. Trust, I'm very critical and have been so in the past and continue to do so but really what more could these gentlemen have offered outside rewriting an entire new XBMC/MB3 experience? The devs work hard and while you haven't said anything derogatory, let them have their moment in the sun. There's plenty of room for constructive criticism within the confines of the forum. As always, just a thought.

This is absolutely awesome how some of these themes fully integrate with mediabrowser and all the amazing features of XBMC. Anyone that hasn't tried this really need to.

The xbmc team is going like a steam roller! Well done indeed

Grats on the release, I have tried it in the past and found it lacking but I have high hopes for the future. Personally I find it a bit early to start a media blast but I can't fault you for trying to promote your product. Although a bit early for me personally, I look forward to seeing your advancements and MB3's advancements as you both continue to work on what you can offer the community. Best of luck to you both as you continue to drive users and their expectations to the next level, it can only end up making things better for us all.
