[QUOTE="dvdfreak, post: 213130, member: 21313"] The architecture I'm using is very open and future minded, so it should go a long way :) And it's really not that complicated at all, just common sense and a service-oriented approach. The only thing that's important to look at is the server-side of MediaPortal, and currently that is TVE3. Since TV Scheduler itself (the core) is also a server-side component. I know there are soms undefined plans to redesign TVE3 but these are apparently plans for much later on. Currently TVE3 has very little design: (remote) clients and plugins access the database directly, there's only a small remoting interface, and everything all over the place is using Gentle.NET directly (so again all code does direct database access everywhere). StaticMan was going to look at this, but I'm not sure how far he got in the mean time. In theory it is really easy to write a MediaPortal plugin for TV Scheduler. It's just a lot of work to get the GUI implemented I fear, but the actual communication with TV Scheduler is relatively speaking peanuts :D Especially for editing the actual schedules you'd need a really good GUI design/layout to make this possible and also still powerful enough with a remote-controlled GUI.
