[QUOTE="ChairmanMao, post: 1059546, member: 145847"] I would strongly recommend that MP be evolved to include its own (i.e., not through an extension or plugin, and supported by the primary development team) "connector" for obtaining program guide information. I say this because I've tried two of the recommended connectors -- the SD Plugin and the XmlTV Gui Plugin -- and neither of them work. If the xmltv commandline app fails to work, then (for me at least) the TV recording functionality might not as well even exist in MP, since it won't be accessible. I don't mean to start a flame war over this. Nor am I disparaging the developers of either of the two plugins I couldn't get to work (and which are apparently known to have problems). They didn't charge me anything for their work product, and they were kind enough to share what they had done with the world. But from the point of view of the overall project, the program guide subsystem is as important as the TVServer itself, because either one without the other results in a significant degradation of usability.
