[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1152248, member: 109222"] Hi. The structure of MP1 and MP2 is completely different. MP1 plugins are not compatible with MP2 and never will be. All those are MP1 plugins and for this they (most likely) never will be ported to MP2. Good news is, they are not necessary for MP2. Due to the modular structure of MP2 you don't need to write a complete plugin with own database handling and GUI elements. It's much more easy to add such features than it was in MP1. The only thing you need to have a MusicVideos section is to write a so called "MetadataExtractor", a module that can read and/or download matching metadata for the specified type of media. Right now we have some for Videos, Movies, Series, Music and Images. Adding MDE for e.G. MusicVideos or Documentary or Anime will be mostly enough to support those in the main program. Something like MovingPictures and TVSeries already is included in the core MP2 installation. And they are using the MP2 Server database so you only need to add your media once and they are available on all clients instantly. This includes the fanart and the watched flags... Aside this MP2 is supporting multiple episodes in a single file (TVSeries only can support two episodes per file). And there is a full support for local fanart and .nfo files, not only for movies (like in MP1) but also for series too. A MP2 counterpart for MVCentral is not available today, but it can be added easily. Probably this would have been added already but we're awaiting a huge rework of a basic technology (in testing phase atm) so we try to avoid adding such features now as they most likely need to be done again after the basic rework is finished. We are really short on developers so for this it's not wise to spend time on something that must be done again in some weeks... Nearly the same is for SubCentral. Also I don't use something like this (I prefer synchronized versions without subtitles) I'm pretty sure this also can be added easily. This is a work in progress and will be available soon. And it will be included in GUI so you can install or upgrade plugins from inside MP2 client... You definitely can use ISO files but I'm not sure about TMT5. I don't like DVD or BD, no matter if it is a disk or an ISO file. So I don't use them and for this I don't know much about them. Maybe someone else can jump in and tell more about this. The remote needs to be either MCE compatible or it must be supported by the IRSS... We are working to implement a generic HID support (same as in MP1) right now, but as I only used MCE remote for more than 10 years now I'm not that familiar with the most recent state of development there.
