Please reconsider looking at file-based DBMS alternatives. There are a number to choose from these days including SQLite, HSQLDB, Derby DB, VistaDB Express, etc.I really want to ditch WMC and MediaPortal is the closest thing to it. One of the main things keeping me away at the moment is that it's still too bloated. I don't want to run a MS SQL / MySQL server just to watch TV. I was trying to get away from all this when I ditched MythTV. I don't particularly like the client/server TV architecture either, but that's a different story.Having an embedded DB will help make the package as self-contained as possible. I personally think this is a must for the future of the project.
