[QUOTE="Paranoid Delusion, post: 363755, member: 13176"] I use FTR as well, incredibly good at doing "start around this time" recording, example I'm a sci-fi nut, but missed a lot of the Andromeda episodes, this shows 4 times in the week 2 at peak time 1900 and then repeated the following mornings, rather than tie up a tuner of a evening, i choose to record the day time shows, now comes the problem, these episodes may start anywhere between 10.30am and 12.30pm, Mediaportals epg just cannot cope with this, but FTR can, so a big plus in my book. There is no grievance regarding FTR and Team-MediaPortal. dvdfreak has decided to keep his code closed source, but seeing that he supports other recorders and this gives him more control over the work done, is understandable, including running his own Website\forum to support his users. Maybe one day he will change his mind and release the source, this of course would blend more into Mediaportal's open source heritage, but this is his choice alone to make, the same goes for all plugin\skin creators, its not compulsory to release your sources, especially when you consider it your baby :) Just enjoy a very well thought out piece of programming.
