Hi. Ppl
I want to install xbmc on a small stb for VOD use in a hotel. Please I would like to know if there is an addon that can perform billing and reporting or there’s another way I can get to archive this.
My email add is xonweb1@gmail.com.
Thanks.
Hi CJX, thanks for the feedback.
As of right now, no plugin exists with the functionality you’re looking for. There might be some alternative solutions, but we aren’t aware of them.
Please note that the XBCM community is very active so you should try heading over to the XBMC Forums http://forum.xbmc.org/ and proposing your idea. Maybe someone will take interest in developing a plugin. We wish you luck.
