[QUOTE="Caleb, post: 861957, member: 118160"] Hi, My IPTV provider has a feature called "Archive". Basically, they keep a 14-day archive of many of their channels, allowing people to watch shows they might've missed. I was thinking about implementing an ability to view this archive using MP's EPG screen, in two possible ways: 1) Adding a remote control hotkey, so that when you select a channel and click a button on the remote a popup window will show with the listing of shows in the last 14 days of that channel. 2) Allow the EPG to go backwards in time and show the old shows. When you click on an old show it will replay it from the archive, instead of Live TV. (I was thinking of maybe coloring the backround of archived shows differently, so it won't confuse) I'd like to ask the MP devs if either of these possibilities would require actual changes to the MP source code, or code one of them be done via plugins only? I guess other than the GUI changes, getting MP to play a different stream under an already scanned channel might be problematic. Dimka implemented an ability to view the archive using the OnlineVideos plugin, so maybe I could use OnlineVideos to play the stream (without actually forcing the user to see the OV GUI)? Thanks.
