[QUOTE="sa_ddam213, post: 673000, member: 89205"] Hey Neelex, The main challenge is that the more function/features I add to MPTouch the more it degrades the overall performance of MP. This is because they run on the same thread. Its like 2 cars on a road if 1 car stops to do something the other car has to stop behind it or they will crash.If I build a new road for the MPTouch car the cars can no longer see or talk to each other. So I need to build an API which is like a car phone in each car allowing them to send info back and forward without a traffic jamb. sa I was also really excited about Yatse2, But like you said its pretty much a remote and not much more. GUI is awesome tho!! I think my best bet is to continue development as a plugin, But designing it around the fact that at some point I will be writing an API for MP. I made a super simple API this weekend just using a Xml file, So a separate plugin gets all info from MP and wites it to an Xml then an external MPTouch can read any of this info.And the read/write is surprisingly fast.This also could work over a network :) . On the other hand as our HTPC get more powerful (in a year quad core will be standard) running MPTouch as an internal plugin wont be a problem. Aslo if any MP DEV's stumble upon this thread they may know a sweet way to thread MPTouch inside MP :) Sa [/QUOTE]
