[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1205939, member: 17766"] Watching at scheduled times is certainly dying out but accessing media "freely" isn't as that will always be there even if streaming services extend their service areas and increase content, this is the reason why you see other solutions like Plex on the rise as they solely serve that market. Mediaportal to some extend has always served to a niche market with its packed features and image quality making it somewhat harder to setup for new users. For the foreseeable future I don't see anything that can come close to what was build over the many years of Mediaportal 1, the way plugin support was designed alone is far better then any of the others out there allowing total freedom (unlike Kodi / Plex where the API is limited). Decline in downloads is also because the mayor release was postponed to include more features and allow for better testing, what some don't get is that Mediaportal unlike others doesn't need a fast release schedule because it's a mature product which also doesn't need to multi-platform as well (less complexity). With Kodi you see a problem as it has to support so many hardware / vendors which such a small group of core devs and rapid release cycle. [/QUOTE]
