The Xbox Media centre project (XBMC) turns an outdated, games platform into a SERIOUSLY good , award winning multimedia jukebox that can be made very "living room friendly" unlike HTPCs which keep trying (bless 'em) but struggle to obtain the necessary CoWC (Certificate of Wife Compliance) 
as they end up incorporating too many fans, having to boot into windows first, etc.

Like Vibestreamer , XBMC is a FANTASTIC project and deserves every accolade, but although it already has remote control of local playback by inbuilt webserver, it does not have the ability to stream content in the manner that Vibestreamer does.
Similarly, XBMC does not function as an SMB server so I can't use it as a mapped data source to work with Vibestreamer on my LAN .
To have the functionality of vibestreamer within xbmc would close off this one significant "hole" in what XBMC does.
I would LOVE to see some inter project co-operation [b2h7wx28d]to bring these two excellent solutions together into one world beating product[/b2h7wx28d]
