How about one standalone version of MP? Without the need to install any OS?
Just Like a Live cd version...
:D

    • who will donate the needed amount of money for OS lisences?
    • who will gather all required drivers for thousands of different HW?

    Not going to happen.

    Which would require a fully-fledged Linux port. Not going to happen.

    Bear in mind XBMC started life as a Linux app. Its only recently that it transitioned to Windoze, so making a live-cd version of it was not much of a stretch, developmentally speaking.

    this would be a huge amount of work, plus money, something unviable for mp.

    in my opinion even if it was not that amount of work, it is still not that holy grail. i do not think it is so much work to install windows and then mp.

    plus making a livecd means:
    - a noisy cdrom drive spining,
    - slower transfer than from a hard drive
    - you would still need somewhere to store the settings
    - you use up a cdrom drive (so u need another to play cds&dvds)
    etc etc

    This may or may not be a pause, after all, this is a playlist, it can constantly change, I don’t very well understand the mechanism of working with playlists in online broadcasts. Well, here you need to look at what is happening in the Media Portal player. And find someone who understands how it works.

    Hi, First off: there are some issues with the latest Mediaportal (32bits vs 64bits), so that is one of the issues you're stumbling with. If you take the previous version (1.31) it should work as expected. For IPTV there is also a different option (with different pros and cons): Onlinevideos. I'm using that sometimes for my IPTV as...
