[QUOTE="fforde, post: 535172, member: 52082"] If there are advantages dukus, we will definitely take a look and strongly consider switching. For example if there was an interface to browse and install plugin-ins via the MediaPortal config that required an MPEI install package to work, hell yes we would go for that. Awesome idea. It does not seem to me like that is what is being done here though. Maybe I am misunderstanding the goal, but it seems to me like you guys are simply creating your own install script package. How is it easier for the user to download and install an MPEI package versus an NSIS package? The NSIS package is an executable, if anything this seems even easier to use to me. Again I am not trying to be down on your work I am just trying to understand if there would be advantages for us if we switched Moving Pictures to MPEI. So far all I am hearing is "it's better" and "easier for the user" which are admirable goals, but I do not understand what makes these statements true. [/QUOTE]
