[QUOTE="DieBagger, post: 724178, member: 56421"] Regarding 4therecord: I personally don't use 4therecord so this isn't a big priority for me. They do have an api so it would be possible to add it later on (Or if someone else wants to add it). I try to design the interfaces of the app in a generic way so that api's can be exchanged later on without too much hassle. [Rant] Also I'm not really a fan of 4therecord because while they started (and profited a lot) of MediaPortal they are closed source, so none of their improvements benefits the MediaPortal sources. And what if everyone starts using their Argus server and development on our TvServer stops? Then they decide they want to monetize TvServer at some point and charge for the full version and all you have is another DvbViewer (and no open source alternative this time). So I don't care how much more flexible their recording setup is, I won't use it as a matter of principle... [/Rant] [/QUOTE]
