Does PMS-XBMC work with UMS

Does PMS-XBMC work with UMS

On plugin page:
http://www.universalmediaserver.com/plugins/

There is the XBMC plugin with links:
https://code.google.com/p/pms-xbmc/
http://www.ps3mediaserver.org/forum/vie ... 12&t=13338

Googling about I've not found any page where someone has
said that they have gotten it to work with UMS.
So, my question is: does it?
I'd rather not spend a bunch of time on it if the divergence
between UMS and PMS has made the PMS inoperable with UMS.

Thanks.

Configuration:
Samsung UN60F7100
XBMC Media Center 13.0
ums-3.6.0
sqlitejdbc-v056.jar
pms-xbmc-20130503.jar

As far as I can tell, the pms-xbmc plugin does not work.
The two test movies can be accessed and viewed via both
the normal UMS mechanism and running XBMC as a server.
When UMS has the pms-xbmc plugin, the virtual folder
shows up and one can navigate down to the "All" level,
but below that Samsung states that there is no content.
Attached are the associated log and conf files.

So, this thread is resolved.
As far as I can tell, the pms-xbmc plugin does not work
and should be removed from the UMS plugin page.

Ok, got it to work (xbmc with sqlite) and PMS. Movies will play but the fanart, posters, etc
while displayed as selectable items, don't display ... a cosmetic loss.

Now to use mysql with xbmc and increase the heap size of UMS.
Got a couple of Exceptions which I will post else where.
