[QUOTE="samuel337, post: 84192, member: 10347"] I'll admit that neither of us are experts in Apache or PHP. We can get it working, but the innards we're not familiar with. So the more help the better. I'm more of a .NET (windows forms, bit of web services and remoting, not much ASP.NET) person so I tend to leave the apache/PHP side of things alone. As for using cassini and direct communication with MP (i.e. bypassing the web service) - this has been attempted before and code has been posted should you want to make use of it - search for 'webplaylistmanager'. As for creating a proxy web service to control the tv server - as the tv server is controlled by a .NET remoting DLL, you could just create your own windows service/app that runs in the background, exposing a web service and translating those web service calls to the remoting DLL. Therefore you can control the tv server without having to be run within the tv server domain/thread, i.e. a server plugin. This dialog is all good I reckon, because there hasn't been much talk about web interface development for a long while (a lot of user requests, but not many people who actually know how to code it) - keep it up and hopefully we can get something going that meets the needs of next-gen MP :D.
