the default MS dashboard, hmmm, no chance of interfacing to that. (well
except with IR)

the XBMP application, you would need to have a look at the source to see
what hooks there are for control. I would say it would be trivial to get
xbmp to react to an incoming command to play a certain bit of media.

It was a while ago I was looking at the source, and my only interest was
hooking into the OSD part, so go grab a copy of the source and impress us
all ;)) <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/xbplayer-cvsroot.tar.gz";>http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/xbplayer-cvsroot.tar.gz</a>
