[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1198865, member: 109222"] Fully agree. MP2 only was started because of the bad code design MP1 has that prevented any further development into the right direction. Nearly all features missing in MP1 that are needed for a "modern" and "future-proof" HTPC solution are not or only with way to big compromises possible on the existing code base. That's why MP2 was started at all and why it was started from scratch. Fact is, there is no or very few MP1 code used inside MP2. Some binaries are reused, but the usage of existing binaries from others is fact for MP1 as well. TV Engine only is a plugin inside MP2 server and as a plugin it easily can be exchanged by a different or better one. Aside TVE3.0 we can use TVE3.5 that was or is not usable in MP1 up to now but it was and still is usable in MP2. In future a MP2 user probably will be able to use e.g. DVB-Viewer or, if it is not dead already, Argus or similar, if he is not happy with the existing TV solution.
