[QUOTE="morpheus_xx, post: 1146349, member: 48495"] I will try to take a look at this part. But I'm not sure what the best way is. Internally TVE3 uses two distinct types: "ChannelGroup" and "RadioChannelGroup". I combine them to one big group list (radio channel groups use negative ids). But in TVE3.5 there is no longer a mediatype flag on the group, just on the channels. So there it means: a radio channel group is a generic group where only radio channels are included. For client side this means: we need to distinguish the UI state (TV / Radio) as well as the groups/channels, maybe even the server side interface (which I try to avoid as long as possible, because I also need to keep the MPExtended provider working). There were some discussions about this already (probably too long ago). Some real TVs show normally TV channel (groups), but allow to switch to "Radio" mode (i.e. by colored keys on remote). This would probably the first step for our solution, adding a way to toggle between TV and Radio in the existing screens. Next step could be an own home tile, which enters the radio state directly. But I need some more time to think about a good way of integration into MP2 (I usually don't just copy other behavior, like of MP1, exactly) [/QUOTE]
