[QUOTE="Brownard, post: 1194524, member: 48291"] In short no ;) but I believe his changes were primarily made to allow the custom version to upgrade existing installations of MP. Previously existing installs had to be removed and the custom version installed from scratch. I don't think he ever made his changes public , I believe that when upgrading from an official MP release there are some missing column in the DB which ears' code added, if I recall correctly this didn't occur in fresh installs of the custom release, only when trying to upgrade an official install of MP. The installer changes were to remove the check that the installer does to not allow upgrades from non official releases of MP, so it became possible to upgrade an existing installation of the custom release. I have previously had a look at decompiling the binaries which works reasonably well, I'm willing to offer tentative support for rewriting the plugins from the decompilation if this will help support this making it into an official release. I run this build on my main HTPC because it basically gives a 1 click setup of TV, all channels are found, grouped, the correct regional variations of the channels are selected and epg is grabbed.
