[QUOTE="zag2me, post: 199519, member: 19691"] Yeh open source should be about sharing information to make things better for everyone :) That's what the whole movement was built on. Just like how Xbox media Center did the RAR streaming, now everyone wants that and the code is free to browse and use in other apps. If anyone has ever tried writing something from scratch without consulting example code or other projects they find it very hard. The fact that there are now 3 HTPC apps trying to integrate a WPF engine is great news and people should be helping each other I think. Frodo has a good point that he wants it to work properly before other apps look at it and improve the thing, nothing wrong with that. Competition always makes products stronger, even in the open source community so all is good I think with different front ends. I personally run both Meedio and Media portal as they both have strengths and weaknesses, so yes I post on both forums :) Glad to see you are reading over there Frodo :) [/QUOTE]
