[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1198758, member: 109222"] Hi. Here is your big mistake. MP2 indeed is started from scratch as the development of MP1 has reached its boundaries. MP2 is a whole new and really big program, a completely different product than MP1. Nothing from MP1 excerpt of a very few parts like the TV Server and some filters (tsreader.ax,..) and online resources (TV Logos and such) are reused. And even the "old" TV engine was adopted later. TVE3.5 was part of the early MP2 releases but up to now never reached a state where it was usable on a wider user base. So it was replaced with TVE 3.0 to provide a stable TV solution. If one wants to experiment any further, there still is a TVE3.5 plugin available representing the last buildable TVE 3.5 development status. Maybe the original project starters of MP2 should have named it completely different as this mistake is very common. So once again. MP1 and MP2 are completely different products and have nothing in common... Agree. If you want to watch a film in MP1 you can do it. You also can watch a TV channel, but you can not watch a series episode as MP1 did not support this (ok, possible with "MyVideos" but without any metadata and organisation what is very important especially on series). For series you first need to install a third party plugin. In MP2 you can watch TV, movies and series (and online streaming videos) without issues and ootb since years, so where's the problem??? All basics are there since a long time now. This also is not completely true. You don't need the big SQL Server when using MP2, a huge advantage imho... This simply is a fact. In nearly every country around the world, yes, also in Italy, the usage of online streaming services are growing rapidly and in the same time "classical" TV is dramatically loosing customers. Online streaming is not only Netflix or Prime. E.g. here in Germany (were we are normally way too late regarding such technologies) even the very conservative public TV has dropped some "on air" channels to provide better online streaming service lately. The only reason why I'm using classic TV 'till today is, as I live in countryside, my internet is not fast enough (as told, Germany is very late regarding internet technologies). And this also is the reason for my huge media collection... Imho this is a very unimportant feature and has very low priority. Why on earth this should be as (or even more) important than e.g. a stable and reliable TV server I never will understand. This mainly is for people who don't want to really watch TV but need a toy for their hands. Kodi never has implemented live TV in their program, They are simply adopting other peoples work with as less effort as possible. This was done after years and nearly too late to be useful at all. Aside this it's not even done very good. [/QUOTE]
