But wouldn't it be worth doing? all these technology (Mono, GStreamer, OpenGL) are cross platform. So once it's done MediaPortal will work on all the major OS's (Windows, Mac and Linux).

I understand that it's going to be a lot of work, but wouldn't it be better to get the work done so it works on more then one operating system?

At the end of the day I just work with Linux and would love to have MediaPortal as the default Media Center in Pinguy OS. I am willing to help out as much as I can but it's up to the MediaPortal team if they want to do a cross platform version. I don't know all the workings of MediaPortal yet so will need to look at the source, but there doesn't seem to be anything that would stop this from being ported to Mac and Linux apart from the amount of work that would need to be done. You could take a look at the code for Banshee for the video. It's written in Mono so there could be parts of the code that could be copied to help with video play back in MediaPortal.

Hey, once it done I will be more then happy to build a MediaPortal OS for you lot, a bit like XBMC Live.
