MP2 development - almost alpha state (1 Viewer)

[Albert]

It's some time ago that we had the last posting about MediaPortal 2. But that doesn't mean we are inactive. In the meantime, MP2 has reached a quite stable state, we have improved many existing functions and we have added needful functions and services like the notification service framework and a removable media processing framework.

It's unbelievable how much work it is to create such a stable and flexible MediaPortal engine, but now we have one. The current MP2 state contains a stable core system for client and server, an almost finished SkinEngine and many core and UI services to provide important functions for plugins. There was also much work done at the installer for the MP2 system.

Also the default plugins are far advanced - at least in the backend. One big TODO until we can offer an alpha version is the improvement of the UI to make MP2 show it's capabilities. We have to create nicer screens and add many user functions, for example for playlist management.

Thanks to all devs, testers, the docs team, the administrators and all interested people who are waiting patiently for the first official MP2 version!

Omfg I'm becoming horny.

You are such a great team. I'm using MediaPortal now for about 2 years and I only can say that for me it is the best solution on the market for htpcs.

I love the flexibility and functionality of it and I am really looking forward for this release and the tests I'll make with it.

Great news!
for all the work done by devs and testers involved in MP2!

Hopefully more people will learn MP2-skinning, so that MP2 can show it's powerful skinning engine to the world.
(Sadly this seem to be a "chicken-and-egg" kinda thing)

Will MP2 support auto update for plugins and even the program itself?

I think so... But not from the beginning. I think we'll add that functionality later.

Great news! I hope you make MP2 as great as everyone expect it, even if you need more time as planned. MP1 is the best mediacenter right now and has almost every feature so you have plenty of time to make MP2!But i have one question, wich is not quiet answered from the forums: Will MP2 connect to more then one TV-Server?
