i don't know who has been keeping track, but with media portal being opensource and all, it is on track to be the best media center software for windows. one of the key features for the ultimate home theatre setup is the integration with dvb cards. i was wondering if now that dvb card support is being developed, if there was any collaboration between xbmc devs, and media portal devs, on a control interface for a dedicated mediaportal server.
i'll use myth as an example here. i know that there is a python plugin for controling a myth backend server from xbmc.myth was designed to be a server/client, or backend/frontend platform.
i can't help but wonder, since media portal is ported from xbmc, if a control interface couldn't be more tightly integrated, ala tivo media expander style(2 tivo's talking to each other)
