As for integrating Media Center Master and XBMC, there is no additional software, add-ons, or plugins to use. The only thing to keep in mind is the XBMC settings tab in Media Center Master, and this depends on what skin you decide to use and how you set that skin up for visualization.
XBMC is much like Media Center Master in the configuration/set-up area. Both have a multitude of ways to be customized by the user once it is installed.
There are three (3) common issues that will come up during a new set-up of XBMC by uses who also use Media Center Master.
The first issue will come about after setting the scan folders for your collection. Here it is required to set the contents of the folder by selecting a meta-data fetcher. In that Media Center Master has done this already, simply disconnect the internet from your computer during the initial set-up/scanning of collection folders. This will force XBMC to use your stored meta-data and image contents you acquired with Media Center Master. After the collection is scanned into XBMC, reconnect the internet connection for Add-ons/scripts, weather data,... updates. To add new downloads/refresh your collection in XBMC: highlight the scan folder/s found through the videos tab/button on XBMC's Home Page, use the context menu (right click on folder, or hit "c" on keyboard while a folder is highlighted, info or more info on select remotes) then select "Scan for Contents". Do not use "Update Library," this will use the fetcher and download from the internet.
The second issue is using the actors/crew member images collected with Media Center Master. XBMC wants them in the individual movie/tv show folder. Media Center Master has no way of dealing with this at the time of this writing. It has been addressed and is listed in the Issue Tracker, Issue 780: Ability to use existing Actor images from MCM/MB with XBMC. Should you, also, wish to use a feature like this please visit the link and star it for priority (click on: Vote for this issue and get email change notifications, listed at the bottom of the issue, under add a comment).
The third issue is the use of locally stored Movie Trailers. They need to be named in a specific manner. Media Center Master can be set to do this through:
Application Menu>Settings and Preferences>Trailers>with the movie as moviefile-trailer.ext.
