[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10921"] I have been following the threads on a number of problems and reported fixes including one of particular irritation to me: the TVGuide import problem. This has reportedly been fixed but MP must be recompliled before most users can get access to it. There are probably very few of us who have facilities to recompile MP so that we can keep using MP In the case of the TVGuide type of problem this renders a large part of MP unusable. I've seen some postings that people have gone back to an earlier version of MP rather than do without this capability. For some of us that isn't practical as 0.1.0.5 did not work properly with our configurations. The CVS lists "patches" but these are really modifications to source, requring recompilation before they are usable. Those of us who have been in the IT game for a while know a true patch as a binary modification that can be applied to a running binary to modify its behavior until the next compilation. Given the state of development and rapid pace of changes, "fixes", enhancements and improvements to MP it seems to me that a true binary patch facility would be very useful for those of us without compilation facilities.
