P2P-client built-into XBMC? Peer2Peer

[Maxim2003]

i think it would be really cool to add the xbox media center the capability to interact with an emule client on a connected pc in order automatically download our favourite (non-copyrighted) divx movies and then uploading them to our xbox hard disk while we're laying on the sofa in the comfort of our living-room, something like this <span style='font-size:6pt;line-height:100%'>(click here)</span> i mean.. here it's what would be needed in my opinion:

mediacenter:

virtual keyboard (open choice):

- a simplified emule interface accessible through the mediacenter where you can look for your favourite movie by entering a search keyword via a little onscreen virtual keyboard using your xbox controller

menu (limited choice):

- a list of latest divx releases updated from a famous edonkey website and the users can choose their favorite one by easily going through the list using the directional keypad on their controller

pc:

- a server program able to listen to the search or file requests from the xbox console, and send them to the emule client which automatically chooses the file with more sources, asks the user (sending a feedback message back to the xbox) if he confirms to download that file (showing name and filesize) and, if reply is positive, starts the download and when completed, uploads or streams the movie file directly to the xbox hard disk (it could also be possible to implement all these features in a modified emule version, its code is opensource)

xbox:

- replacing the hard disk with almost a 40gb one would be useful too i think



ps: yep, you still would need about six hours or more with a low broadband dsl connection in order to download your movie, but *you could choose the movie you would like to view on the morning and then watch it with your friends on the evening, all by using your xbox!

p2p tool for xbox will not be coded by the xbmc/xbmp team or even integrated into xbmc/xbmp

There is a eMule/eDonkey controller python script for XBMC, I do not think you can ask for more than that for the Xbox http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11101

The best way to get the RIAA or MPAA to come after you is to share, ANYTHING, from ANYWHERE, they'll sue 8 year old little girls, or 85 year old ladies. Anybody who sends letters to your web provider to terminate your contract for sharing things you created and are owned by you, can't be reasoned with. I know what your thinking, "but I don't live in the United States", don't fool yourself, they'll get your country to get you. I mean come on, they got the US government to threaten Russia (the whole country) with trade restrictions because of one company's web site that sold MP3s.

P2P in XBMC would be cool, just not on this world.

I've used the python script myself for XBMC, using uTorrent. Works very well, and nice GUI control. You can search, start a download (on the PC) using xbmc, and also start/stop, view all the stats on current downloads. Works well. Give it a try.
