[QUOTE="funkstar, post: 677381, member: 14311"] Not going to happen. MP is an entirely Windows based media centre application. It is heavily dependant on the graphics, audio, BDA, networking and other APIs and components available on Windows, there is no way you are going to do a simple port to a linux based closed system like Boxee. Can you even install third parts apps on it? or can it be hacked to allow you install whatever software you want? Even with access to allow other apps, you are going to code a MP front end from the ground up rather than porting the current client over from windows. It is completely possible, just going to a massive amount of work. I don't know how well documented the protocol between the client and the server is, but it is all open source, so it is possible.
