[QUOTE="kerpow, post: 88296, member: 20978"] Hi, I know you are less interested in a debate and more interested in help... but :) ..... Am I missing something here, doesn't Linux lend itself best to the server and not the client? From my point of view finding a way to replace the server by either making an bridge to an existing Linux PVR app (like MythTV) or creating one from VLC + MySQL + pearl would be a better way forward. Sooooooo much work has gone into the MP client, its quite complex, and I don't want to see plug-ins (games, skype, etc etc etc) that only work on Windows or Linux. On the other hand the server only handles TV, and seems on the face of it a more reasonable chunk to bite. I guess most people in the Linux world would be a little surprised to see Linux used for a client to a Windows server :P Sorry did I miss the point, I am quite tired today. :) Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
