[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1247892, member: 109222"] Hi. MP1 is very mature. There are only small things to add/change. That's the reason for the more often releases. MP2 is making lots of progress. Many "big" things are added/changed so there simply is much more to do between the releases... As example, the next (very soon) upcoming MP2 release will have a full blown user management with detailed restrictions possible for different users and user groups. So your kids are no longer able to modify the MP2 setup, watch (hear) content not meant for minors,... Aside this you can start watching something in the living room and in the middle of the movie you can stop and continue in bedroom, where you will have exactly the same settings if you are logged in as the same user,... This is a big project and simply needs more time to complete. A release during development of such big task is not very useful as long as the new features are not ready to be used... Originally this was the plan. But things are changing over time. Too many of the team members did not want to change over to MP2. So the plan has changed and both projects will keep on going. Nevertheless the MP1 development is very far already so the development possibilities are decreasing in time. MP2 has much more things that can be added or improved because it's much younger and it offers more possibilities so the development will increase over time... On most other OpenSource projects we would have split into different groups a long time ago. But Team MediaPortal manged to not break up so both (to be precise all three, not to forget MPTagThat) projects will go on under the same hood... [/QUOTE]
