[QUOTE="JDWestoby, post: 676064, member: 72093"] Dear All Scripting (in this context) puts a 'human' interface to what [MediaPortal] can do. I wondered if anyone had thoughts about what scripting functions might be useful. So instead of a series of database/tuner C# procedure calls you would make a string like 'Record channel four now for one hour' or just simply 'TV on' or even 'Press six' I want to do this to be able to use HomeSeer invoke certain MediaPortal functions and this while not the easiest solution is the most flexible. (In fact this is the exact reverse of my MediaPortal to HomeSeer plugin, so the techniques are well proven. You can drie this using Telnet!) It would allow a non developer to make MediaPortal dance exactly how they want without having to learn the intricacies of driving MediaPortal programmatically. I haven't seen anything like this in MediaPortal so I assume it isn't around. I'll start my own list but anyone have any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
