[QUOTE="grahamd, post: 249948, member: 70875"] Sure, I can do that. Where is the best place for me to upload something like that? Just in a zip here on the forum, or somewhere else? I'll give you some more background: I wanted it to look "native" on both platforms, so I've used Gtk# (the Mono bindings to GTK for .NET). There is a windows installation of the GTK runtimes which allows the application to look native on Windows platforms. Under Gnome on Linux, of course, it just works. I did this mainly because I don't like Windows.Forms under Mono at the moment - it looks like Win95 ;-) The remoting worked fine under Mono as long as you use IP addresses for the hostname. The server returns the hostname as part of the streaming URL which also caused me a problem. I just replaced the hostname returned with the IP address again and that was fine. VLC works exactly as it does on Windows if you supply the IP based URL as the command line. The Gentle Framework kept throwing an error for me but at the moment I can't tell if that's just because I don't have the right Mono System classes installed. (I forgot to install the Mono System.Runtime.Remoting library when I first started, for example!) I know that you can connect to a SQL Server on a Windows box from Mono if you do it directly with System.Data.SqlClient however, so it's either a missing runtime on my Linux installation, or a small problem with the Gentle Framework which is probably fixable.. I don't have the code with me but will post it when I get home. Great to make contact with you, I love the TV Server Engine as it's solved all my TV streaming woes. I've been searching for a solution for ages... Rtv: As I popped into my other post, I'm still using VLC as I know that it's quite consistent across platforms. The application equivalent to MPTvClient sits separately, just sending the channel change remoting messages to the server and restarting VLC as required. I'll see if I can get the code up to the SVN but seeing as it's really small I might just zip it and put it here first. [/QUOTE]
