[QUOTE="Bagal, post: 364920, member: 27764"] I agree with the comments saying that MP and 4TR should be kept separate. As has been said for first time users configuring 4TR can be a bit daunting, if they're having to install MP for the first time as well as 4TR then this could put them off of MP altogether, which I think we can all agree would not be a good thing. I like the fact that they're separate, it means MP devs can concentrate on making MP the best it can be and 4TR devs can concentrate on making 4TR the best it can be and for users it gives us more choices which is always a good thing. I also think that one of 4TR's main strengths is its support of multiple recorder/tuners, sure this might not be a great benefit to MP but it is a great benefit to the HTPC community as a whole (as an aside, I'm assuming it would be possible to use another recorder/tuner such as GB-PVR, but use MP as the client front end, which gives users the choice to mix and match their favourite HTPC software). One thing I would like to see is 4TR have its own forum within the MP forums, I know dvdfreak likes to direct people to the 4TR website forum, which is fair enough, but having its own forum on MP would stop the "For The Record xxxx release" threads from getting too huge and would also perhaps help highlight 4TR as being the great plugin/system that it is.
