is it possible to make support in xbmc for the xbox neigbhorhood shell extention which is included in the xbox sdk ?
the speed, reliability and ease of use is much better than ftp.
also, the shell extention is usable without installing the whole xbox sdk, but only the shell extention which is 400kb.
i thought it would only be possible with the xdk dash,
but i saw people which are working on uix2, have xbox neighborhood connectivity with their dashboard:
team uixas anyone who knows me will tell you, i have never been a fan of ftp, and the fact that the scene is dependant on a 20 year old protocol annoyed me to no end. so i took steps to do something about it uix has just jumped from it's 0.0x version right to version 2.0, and is, as of now, the only dash to fully support xbox debug connectivity. "what does this mean to me ?" one might ask. in an example we are all familiar with: xbmc installs via xbdm in less than 1 minute - compare that to any ftp install. it also opens the xbox to a whole new level of pc-side applications that can achieve levels of interaction that ftp could struggle to attempt at best.
pictured below is an xbox running uix as seen by the xdk's "xbox neighborhood" shell extension. this is just a fraction of what can now be achieved with a pc-side xbox app...

is this possible with xbmc ?
it would be awesome if the dash had this feature, i'm using the xbox neighborhood shell extention with the xdk for months and i'm really convinced that it's much better if you compare it to ftp :bowdown:.
