[Question] MPExtended WebMediaPortal and Chromecast (1 Viewer)

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"

What - PMS+MP TVE integration?

I’ll bear that in mind. I kinda have the skin where I want it now as I only use it for TV Recordings as everything else is done thru Plex.
I’ve mainly for remotely setting up TV Recordings when away from home.

I ended up simply setting all of my non-OS drives to "Offline" in disk management, then did a repair of MPExtended. That put the MPExtended service files folder on the root of my C drive. At least it's on the OS drive. Having it on another drive made Windows Backup want to make a disk image of that drive also.
I was never able to...

Are different people taking turns watching the same thing on the same HTPC?
For me, separating users in MP2 is a drawback, as is the interface.
Simply put, this can't be done in MP1, or rather, it can't be done quickly, because everything would have to be rewritten.
But if each user logs in with their own Windows account, MP1 can...

Is there a way to integrate a multi-user interface in MP1 where you can create different end users, similar to MP2? A...
I made some updates to the Wiki page describing the <import> and <include> tags, including adding a couple of new xml examples. For the first example, I highlighted the example text and eventually found the location in the menus where I could select the CODE macro to have the example text formatted as a code example. So far, so good...
