I don't think there is a way for a plugin to put menus directly on the
home menu of the SBC but I haven't investigated it in detail.
Yes, it can be done using Player Settings - Menus

Here is my guess:
1) DRM support in SB firmware ( more likely than #2 )
2) SlimServer calls DRM API ( like Quicktime API). Requires proprietary piece of software to be setup on the pc.
