[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4883"] I have written about this before. I think it is certainly possible to create an MMC plugin similar to this: [url]http://www.meedio.com/pub/ATI_EPG_Plugin/[/url] [b]However[/b], I am really quite opposed to the idea for a few reasons. To cut a long story short, I think if someone creates this then I don't think AIW owners will ever get full native support. A plugin like this would have to have so many hooks into MediaPortal, anytime ATI decided to change the MMC, it could break the plugin. It would never give a good integrated solution. It would probably intoduce more bugs than it fixed. Yes, it is an option. If any developer wants to give it a shot, I'd be one of the first in the queue to bug test. The AIW cards are always going to have a real hard time in MP, what with live TV, capturing [b]and[/b] video rendering. Unfortunately IMHO, the very best solution is to find a few AIW card owners with sufficient directshow/C# experience to do this properly. (or buy frodo the full range of all AIW cards ever made and several cases of beer) :wink: [/QUOTE]
