[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 620184, member: 10858"] PBDA would require at least protected video and audio paths. Such wont happen with the open source applications, unless there would be whole rendering path (for audio and video) implemented as closed source components and some signing as well would be required to allow those components to be loaded in a protected audio / video path. At least: TsWriter - closed source, encrypt content on write or write encrypted content from the stream. TsReader - closed source, decrypt content on playback Audio decoder - I guess commercial one would be enough Video decoder - I guess commercial one would be enough Video renderer - closed source Audio renderer - closed source Also some HW would be required to be approved by the CI+ parties / organization. And most likely the whole chain software + hardware would be required to be approved to gain the required key to allow decrypting. In short, almost impossible and I personally wont take any part in such development. There is some sort of limit how much sh*t I can take from the content owners :D What will probably happen is that MS will at some later stage implement CI+ to work with MCE itself. So, if you want use MP or some other open source please start lobbying to get rid of CI+, I mean it. getting off topic, mods please feel free to move the CI+ talk into new thread. [/QUOTE]
