I’m a mediocre programmer and I thought it best to ask for help. I would like to integrate Plex Media Server as a media source. For those who don’t know, Plex Media Server is part of Plex, an OS X port-and-re-tooling of XBMC. They separated the media management from the actual client so they could easily make other clients (like their iOS remote). I think a Wii client (as part of WiiMC) would be excellent because Plex does a good job of meshing together my various media sources (local, online, on a fileserver I have in the closet), while I want as few things plugged into my TV as possible (ie: no moving of the Mac over to the TV).
This server implements a rather simple HTTP REST API, and experimentally with cURL I can confirm it works and serves media as well as the menu hierarchies and metadata (and album art, and movie covers, and and and …). So, the Plex side of this is pretty straightforward. It returns XML clearly defined in a PDF which I have but can’t find online at the moment.
I am currently setting up the build environment for WiiMC, but before I get too far / ask too many stupid questions, does anyone have any idea where a good jumping off point would be? I appreciate any feedback. This could be a good winter break project for me. Thanks for the awesome software regardless.
