[QUOTE="burty89, post: 70625, member: 23979"] I'm glad it works for you cPH, TV is something I haven't tested myself yet (I have a system with MediaPortal and a TV tuner, but its not the one I develop on). A windows client would be very possible as everything except the GUI could be used thanks to .net, as you said. Bram, I hadn't heard of External Control Plugin before, I just found a thread about it now. I haven't read it all yet, but from the first few posts I gather that it uses web services? Personally I think thats too bloated for something like this. Currently I'm using the excellent UDP code found [url=http://www.codeproject.com/cs/internet/Genesis.asp]here on CodeProject[/url] and the updating of information on my pocketpc is almost instant over a wifi connection, I can hold the pocketpc next to my monitor and hardly notice the delay in updating compared to the time displayed in MediaPortal. So, I'm thinking I will rename PMPServer.dll to something like ControlServer.dll to fit, and write a windows client in addition to the PocketPC one. Just a small update of progress, I am working on allowing the music library of MediaPortal to be browsed on the pocket pc. Currnetly, the PocketPC can display a treeview containing all artists, and expanding an artist shows all of their albums. Next I plan to be able to show tracks when the album is expanded and allow them to be played. [/QUOTE]
