XBMC is a multi-platform media center first developed for the original Microsoft XBox. In addition to a robust media player, XBMC supports elaborate custom skins, simple menu plugins written in Python, and full third-party applications written as Python scripts. These add-ons significantly enhance the quality and functionality of any XBMC installation.

Alexpoet has been an important part of the XBMC Python scripting community from the very start. His revision of Alx5962's original scripting tutorial is still the most popular introductory guide to XBMC Python scripting, and he continues to contribute to the project's documentation (via the XBMC Online Manual) and develop new and useful developer's tools (such as the unfinished Persistence server).

On this page you can find useful links to XBMC Python documentation, as well as pages dedicated to all of Alexpoet's XBMC projects.
