    Here's where I've got to so far. I started with https://github.com/googlecast/CastHelloVideo-chrome, stripped out the default video selection then added jQuery and wired up some AJAX calls.

    Apologies for the appalling design and lack of error handling. I've only tested it with MP3s but it probably works with other types of content. I'll make it a bit more polished if I have any time next week - remove the hard coded MIME type, add some metadata to LoadRequest that kind of thing.

    The client side will only work on Chrome with the Google Cast extension (I'm running on Windows 7 64 bit with Chrome v33). You can host the files on IIS, Apache or any else that can do proxy redirects (direct AJAX calls from Javascript running on your web browser to MPExtended would be a cross domain request which is disallowed for security reasons hence the convoluted setup).

    Feedback and contribs very welcome. Enojy!

    I tried some other approach.
    "Plex Media Server" has the possibility to transcode everything.
    Furthermore some user in their forum uploaded some simple "MediaPortal TV Server integration" :)

    This may or may not be a pause, after all, this is a playlist, it can constantly change, I don’t very well understand the mechanism of working with playlists in online broadcasts. Well, here you need to look at what is happening in the Media Portal player. And find someone who understands how it works.

    Both the release announcement page and the corresponding news thread are incomplete with respect to installation of SQL Server. I suggest linking to the top-level SQL Server wiki page instead of enumerating the individual versions, which I plan to expand soon to include MS SQL Server Express 2019.
