Hi, let me point out the current situation (as I understand it, don't trust it too much :wink
about IP-TV & VLC integration in MP:
1 - I've already asked the developers to consider embedding VLC into MP (
http://nolanparty.com/mediaportal.so...431&highlight=) and later I've found some other posts asking the same, but MrMario answered to one of them that, since VLC uses the same codecs as ffdshow, they're not interested in doing it.
2 - Since some of VLC features are still missing in MP (like watching IP-TV streams or acting as a video/audio server), someone has posted some almost painless ways to integrate VLC into MP. For more informations about them, take a look at these posts:

3 - It seems that they're planning to add support for video streaming in the next TV engine (but I'm not quite sure about it, nor I know in which version of MP it will finally appear).
Hope it helps.
Bye.
