Are there many MythTV users that use XBMC as a frontend (particularly<br>
for mythtv content)? I'm trying to gauge interest if I should look<br>
into doing a XBMC theme and possibly some packages.<br><br>

<br></div><div>Usability wise, I don't like it. It takes much longer to find a file. When navigating the file system, esc make you go back to the main menu rather than one directory up. You can't go between buttons with my remote using simply up and down. It all depends on the theme, so need to use 4 direction buttons.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As far as browsing recording wise, the plugin is a pain, it is slow in getting the listing..</div><div><br></div><div>All to say that mythfrontend, why not as visually impressive as XBMC does IMHO better the things it does do.<br>
</div><div>I would love to have the XBMC plugin system on myth. It's fantastic... Want to do something? Get the plugin for it.</div><div>Reminds me of the iPhone add: "there's an app for that"</div><div>
<br></div><div>I love that XBMC doesn't require much configuration for the type of video playback, it will select things automatically. On the other hand, you can't by default enjoy some advanced option (like it uses the temporal 2x vdpau deinterlacers only, not the advanced one)...</div>
<div><br></div><div>The question we should ask now, is do we drop support for mythfrontend completely and work on a much better integration of XBMC with the myth backend (add support for mythbackend auto detection, support storage group etc). Or do we continue to focus our effort on making the myth frontend better</div>
