[QUOTE="Oxan, post: 827451, member: 97484"] [b]Re: AW: Port SlimTv to MPExtended[/b] First of all, first of all we target only stable versions of MP with MPExtended, so probably it won't be until the beta-phase of MP1.3 that it can be used in MPExtended and/or client. For the TV part, MPExtended doesn't provide any features at all. Almost all methods just convert the data from TVE and returns it, with an occasional workaround some TVE limitation or bug. It's a mere 800 lines of code. The real features of MPExtended are all either in the media part (standard interfaces to all plugins), streaming or in WebMediaPortal. Also, I don't think total elimination of the MPExtended TV server API is a good thing. Having a single location for configuration (authentication, port, discovery, etc) of all services is a good thing imo. It also keeps compatibility with clients such as Eve, WebMP and aMPdroid (and at least for the last 2 I can say that rewriting the TVE accessing won't be even considered without help from additional developers - we already have way too much to do) which will help adoption of the new TVE. That said, I think these are good changes in TVE. I'm not really fond of the API (we've some workarounds for its shortcomings in MPExtended) and there are some oddities in connecting with it (takes up to 5 seconds the first time for some reason), and given the halted development of Gentle.net replacing it seems good to me too. I'm just not really sure it's impact on MPExtended is very big. I'm not really sure about SlimTv, but once it's stable I think it's quite easy to integrate it in SlimTv. The current MPExtended-specific code in SlimTv isn't very long, so it should be easy to adapt that for the new TVE API (which probably looks a lot like the current MPExtended API). [/QUOTE]
