XBMC Port For Mir Display Server.

As Ubuntu Operating system will be using it's custom Mir display server from Saucy Salamander 13.10 onwards, many projects has been leaded to port their application for Mir display from Wayland.(But they use XMir, i.e Xdisplay under Mir)
XBMC, the Opensource Home theatre software is also doing the same, it's been ported to Mir display server.
As per the sake of record, XBMC is an only Mir client out in the world which is not dependent on XMir.


smspillaz, Perth, Australia - Gravatar Profilethe ex-Canonical employee & Compiz developer is working on XBMC port to Mir display server.Sam on his wordpress blog wrote, "As part of my GSoC project to make XBMC work on newer linux display systems, I also wrote a backend to make it render on the Mir display server too. This was actually quite straightforward, and took about the same amount of time to get to same point of completeness as it did for Wayland support. There’s no mouse or keyboard input support yet, but only because I haven’t had the time to implement it yet. Should be done in a few days."
