[QUOTE="craige1, post: 972210, member: 66464"] I have to admit, I did smile reading this. When I said "fairly" easy (in dr evil style quotes mind you :)), I was talking in the sense of comparing to a full blown port. I did realise this wouldn't be a "out next week" task, which is why I mentioned aiming at the mp2 release date which is a good year at least. In regards to porting to Media Foundation; Media Foundation has been the recommended media stack option since vista, as it is intended to replace directshow, which will be faded out. It might be a good opportunity to kill 2 birds with one stone. Cross format capability with fairly easy work (compared to running multiple clients for different platforms or completely redoing mp to be cross platform, which you might as well start again if your doing that), and updating to the new media render stack in windows (for the last 3 versions). There are even [URL='http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br230302.aspx#resources']guides[/URL] on pointing out what needs to change to move a .net app to a windows store app. Media foundation support isn't as desperate as you make it out to be.
