This project is an iTunes plugin for the Dharma version XBMC. The plugin makes an iTunes library accessible to XBMC. Once set up, you will see categories that correspond with their iTunes counterparts such as:

  • Artists
  • Genres
  • Albums
  • Ratings
  • Playlists

While the plugin provides access to the iTunes library, it does not "import" the songs to XMBC as you would by defining a new media "source" within XBMC. For more on this refer to the limitations topic.

About the code

The code was originally written by Anoop Menon but due to a lack of available time, it became unmaintained and completely broke with the advent of the plugin architecture introduced in the Dharma release of XBMC. Taking example on jingai's excellent work on the iPhoto plugin, yours truly set to work and updated the iTunes plugin to be compatible with the new architecture and enhance the code where appropriate.

You want to help?

There are several ways you can help out on this project.

  • Translate the app
    Providing translations for the plugin is a great start and pretty easy. Take a opy of the Enlgish strings.xml file, fire up your favourite text editor and change the English text into whatever is a suitable translation in your language. Once you're done just send the file by email to alfred_j_kwack at badsoda dot com. If you're more technically inclined, submitting a patch is also appreciated.

  • Enhancing functionality
    If you're comfortable with coding Python and have experience with the XBMC framework you're more than welcome to lend a helping hand. Take a look at the issue list to see if there's anything you feel you could sink your teeth in.
