[QUOTE="Oxan, post: 879869, member: 97484"] No, not really, sorry. Because before the 1.1.12 release the VLC browser plugin was an unstable, un-maintained resource-hogging, unusable, awful-to-work-with, browser-crashing beast. And that's without (much) exaggaration. Seriously though, the VLC browser plugin simply wasn't usable. Note that we don't [i]require[/i] you to use Flash, it's an easy option that always works. That's not true for VLC: you need to configure VLC and either install the browser plugin or copy/paste the playlist link into an external program. We'd like that too. However, MPExtended is a volunteer project I can only work on in my spare time, so we can't compete with DVBViewer, on which quite some people work full-time, at all (though donations help!). We also have a different focus than DVBViewer - instead of a whole integrated TV solution, we just want to expose MediaPortal over the internet. [/QUOTE]
