[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 502959, member: 10858"] Something that I already did assume over a year ago (and few PMs did make it more clearer). Main reason why I haven't been that interested in their plugin :) Sounds like they first used the MP as stepping board to fetch big user base and then starting their business based on it. Of course that is 100% ok on legal perspective, but I think it is a little bit immoral. But as long as there won't be any GPL code in their closed source system its all ok. Sounds like the end user experience will fall down (users would have to use two programs for HTPC), unless MP client is still going to be supported. Current TVE3 handles such tasks without any additional software required (only scheduling rules are much more flexible when 4TR is used). [/QUOTE]
