[QUOTE="infinite.loop, post: 929898, member: 10723"] Best would be @[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/scythe42.95833/']Scythe42[/URL] but he is sadly not able comment currently, and I don't know when this will change. This actually a [U]very[/U] big concern in general. When you tie your application to any 3rd party project [I](close source or not, even thought closed source makes this much worse)[/I] then this is a huge risk for your application. Especially when it is a vital component/feature. We have already seen that with Live555, gentle and mtn (and others). This was also one of the mean reason to do a _lot_ on our own from scratch in MP2 (UPNP, MPF, ...). To rely as less as possible on other projects: a) on which you have no influence at all b) can always stop to exists/be active at any time c) might get bought up by some company [I](i.e. like yahoo bought Meedio)[/I]. Sure one could say [I]"just support both"[/I]. Well in an ideal world we might. But thats plain impossible with the small team we have. That said. Someone could always start this as a new project on github, and we could look at including this in an upcoming version. :) [/QUOTE]
