There has been quite lot of such request in the past - answer will be the same at this time

MediaPortal is highly based on DirectShow and DirectX technologies, using being able to use Mono as .NET framework wont help. Also what comes to running HTPC / video playback application under Wine is just not wise - it is already hard enough to get the video playback quality (timing etc.) for a native applications (be it Windows or Linux), having one extra "emulation" layer in between the HW and application wont help at all. And it would be actually a task for the Wine developers to make their "emulator" (which Wine states it is not) to make sure it would emulate the Windows OS 100% in all aspects. Wine itself is good, I'm not saying that.

I know that this was not the answer that you were looking after, but some OSes are just better for multimedia than others

[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 702078, member: 10858"] There has been quite lot of such request in the past - answer will be the same at this time :) MediaPortal is highly based on DirectShow and DirectX technologies, using being able to use Mono as .NET framework wont help. Also what comes to running HTPC / video playback application under Wine is just not wise - it is already hard enough to get the video playback quality (timing etc.) for a native applications (be it Windows or Linux), having one extra "emulation" layer in between the HW and application wont help at all. And it would be actually a task for the Wine developers to make their "emulator" (which Wine states it is not) to make sure it would emulate the Windows OS 100% in all aspects. Wine itself is good, I'm not saying that. I know that this was not the answer that you were looking after, but some OSes are just better for multimedia than others :P [/QUOTE]
