[QUOTE="tom1502, post: 41416, member: 10437"] Hi, i am now thinking since at least a year to contribte to MP... In my opinion, the most interesting missing feature in Mediaportal is the networking, or streaming functionality. So in my free time(not much at the moment), i started thinking about this. First thing that came into my mind was, to rebuild MP with a client/server architecture. This architecture should be able to run on one machine, to offer the functionalities as MP currently does. The interesting thing would be, that if you install MP on a second computer, you can connect to the first one, and use this one as "Tuner-Hardware"/Reciever. This way, you could take one powerful machine, standing "whereever noise does not matter", to recieve TV(DVB, HDTV or whatever), and one not that powerful client, for output of all these nice things. Maybe this could be realized via Streaming(UDP), so multiple clients within your home-lan can use streamed Data, and can be controlled via Remote procedure callse(RPC, RMI - OOP-RPC from Java, of course i mean this technology implemented in C#, but i am not used to C# until now), or via a MP-Control-Protocol via TCP. What i want YOU now to do is, if you're experienced with Networking/Streaming issues, tell me waht you think about it, and let's try to develop a concept for this. I dont want anybody to start developing, but just make up his mind to this. This way, we can maybe plan such a solution... During this, i am going to "pimp-my-C#-abilities" ;-) BTW: Imaginable would be, if we use a TCP based control protocol, to implement a platform independant client Via Java or whatever... One last thing: Please no posts like "thats what i am looking for", or "great, start doing this!!!". Dont get me wrong, i understand enthusiasm(i am too :lol: ), but what i am trying here is, to develop a concept, not to ask if this is useful... So if you're experienced with Software development, experienced with C#, with Video-Streaming, Network communication or wahtever fits here, please let me know what you think!!!
