Welcome to the MP 2 status report.
In the past, I was posting a status report like this one from time to time, about every month, to an internal MediaPortal 2 forum. Now, that we moved the MP 2 development more in the public focus, I'll start posting those status reports in the public area.
We're coming to a point where most of the big core functionality is finished. One of the last functions that have been missing is implemented now - the remote resource access. Now it is possible for each system component to access a resource which is located at any place all over the system, just by calling an appropriate method.
We have many of the functions available which should be present in the first alpha version.
But there are still many things to do. The most important thing is the playback quality.
What has been done?
What will be done in the next time?
Feel free to ask questions.
Cheers,
Daniel

- Rework of the ContentManagement subsystem in the SkinEngine (Baboonanza)
- Http server in the MP2 client (needed for remote resource access of client-local resources)
- Remote resource access
- More work at the DVD player (morpheus_xx and me)
What will be done in the next time?
- Tuning of new database plugin
- Playlist management (load, save)
- Playback quality and player stability (Audio, Video)
- Skin beautifications
