[QUOTE="DieBagger, post: 619782, member: 56421"] Ok I'll try to answer a few of your questions. MPWebServices is a set of APIs to access some functionality of MediaPortal. You can access the live tv stream directly (rtsp protocol, you can play it with vlc) or transcoded with ffmpeg, vlc or mencoder. It's currently not possible to use it with a flash or html5 based player, mainly because noone has done it yet .
