[QUOTE="dvdfreak, post: 201113, member: 21313"] Yeah, I consider good scheduling absolutely "core" to htpc/pvr software. So that's why I started this project :) The best thing to do would be to write a ScheduleDirect plugin that talks to TvScheduler, which should be easy enough when you base it on the TVE3 plugin. You can check out the source to the tvmovie/clickfinder plugin I uploaded a couple of days ago as an example of how that one feeds the guide data to TvScheduler. I will not be making any changes to read the TVE3 database from TvScheduler, it just does not make any sense and it would be a move totally opposite to the design I wanted to achieve. TvScheduler is a gray-box subsystem, the only way in or out is through its clearly defined service API. I consider this part of its strength actually, and I'm sure I'm not alone with this opinion :) Do you have any experience with MediaPortal GUI plugins? It would be great if you could work on a new scheduling GUI for example, inspired by what the Management Console itself does, but then more aimed towards HTPC use, usable with a remote control. Because that's still an important part that's missing. The management console is great for low-level access to TvScheduler, but the real GUI should really be in MediaPortal itself. [/QUOTE]
