Everyone has his specific needs, so what I'm saying in this topic is related to my user impression. But the feeling is that MP2 is a slow development of a software that didn't make something really new, but the same things, programmed differently, more efficiently maybe. When a user want to watch a film or a tv channel, you have first to concentrate on the basics, and only after go to implement the rest. We all want that MP2 grow and be a better MP1. But you're not starting a project from the scratch, so we expect that all the progress made with MP1 is just there ready in MP2. I don't care if a certain feature is implemented in the core or with plugins: i want that feature, and possibly without bugs. Maybe it's the time to concentrate in only one project, and try all together to improve it as much as possible (I care especially about TVE 3.5, that seems to me mm1352000 is developing alone).Bye,sdf--- Post updated ---This a clear example of what I'm trying to say.If you go to <a href="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mediaportal-2-weekly-snapshot-2016-05-03.134275/" target="_blank">https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mediaportal-2-weekly-snapshot-2016-05-03.134275/</a>you can see that channel by number has been implemented for the first time in MP2 in may 2016 weekly snapshot (after I talked about the problem in the forum problem.From the server part, there's nothing new, because it uses the same MP1 tvserver.The first development snapshot is dated november 2014, (as I can see from the forum, can't remember about earlier versions, maybe there are).I don't want to blame developers, but when I'm passing from MP"1" to MP"2", it's very strange that a very basic feature of tv watching, like change a channel by number, is implemented after one year and a half.You're saying that livetv is something of the past, that now there's netflix, etc. I don't know how much this is true. I live in Europe (Italy) and believe me the impact of Netflix over normal aerial tv is absolutely negligible. I think it's the same for the rest of Europe. US are a world apart.Other projects, like Kodi, are clearly moving towards livetv, or at least are actively developing it; in the first years of the project was not even planned.I don't want to say that livetv is all MP needs, but certainly it has a great base of users who approached to MP primarly for that reason.I've always known of MP as a great all-around HTPC performer, and from my perspective livetv is a great important part of an HTPC, that in MP2 has been taken apart, at first in the beginning.Bye,sdf</blockquote>
