[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 35450, member: 14004"] You would have to have programming experience to fully understand the concept. Look, this is part of the beauty of MediaPortal - It's a core program that can accept PLUGINS. every feature of MediaPortal: tv, videos, music, pictures, etc... is a plugin. Software card support was included with the TV plugin, but was getting no support - the TV development was focused on H/W based cards and the developers would have to 'step over' the legacy software code simply to work with the new code they were developing. what if the new code they put in causes problems with the existing software card code? It increases development time and frustration. They had no plans on improving that section of code, its very time consuming to maintain everything else and the software portion, and the developers were going to remove software support in the future anyways. When MediaPortal has a stable core, plugin developers will start producing more plugins. Im sure someone will eventually produce a software card plugin. MediaPortal was designed that way. [/QUOTE]
