Mediaportal tv client on Apple TV2 possible?

Any1 developing this?

Would be nice at sometime to add some clients in the home that is not as expensive as a complete pc client.

MP will install on anything that runs a Windows OS, if ATV2 can take Windows, then MP will work.

If ATV2 is an IOS device that can install apps like ipad or iphone maybe ipimp can do this, only thing I can think of.

At the risk of promoting the other camp, I think that XBMC can be installed on an AppleTV. Since this now has support for the MediaPortal TV server, this might be one way to get MediaPortal TV to your TV via an AppleTV.

XBMC running on an ATV2 will eventually do this, but requires a lot of work on the plugin side still. MP TV Server is the one that doesn't work very well so far. Can't remember if 4TR is better supported, but TV Headend is the one recommended for a Windows server. Haven't tried lately, could be fixed now.

I've got 5 MP clients, and 2 ATV2s running XBMC. So I remain hopeful. From what I can tell, there's no good way to just share the Recordings directory, either, without it mixing into all the movies in XBMC.

I don´t want to change completely to XBMC/APPLE TV 2, but the fact that it is very cheap and small compared to a pc client makes it perfect for our bedroom and chrildrens rooms, but I guess I just need to wait I can see it is on the "to do list" for next XBMC version and I hope it will work on the IOS device too.
