[QUOTE="jhb, post: 1009203, member: 24959"] Making live TV work with DLNA is not that hard - really. Under Linux I would do that with the FUSE-filesystem (userspace filesystem), where I can easily make a filesystem that presents whatever I need to show. On Windows the solution is probably: - Dokan, which is a Windows user mode file system that also has a FUSE APIfor it (Fuse4Win). Another solution is to actually alter a DLNA server to understan Mediaportal TV-server files and data (maybe easier) and fake the file-sizes (and other needed information). Using the XBMC-plugin as a wrapper for such a solution would probably give a head start with all the needed APIs to MP. For the DLNA server there are many to choose from. Still (as mentioned previously in the thread) fast forwarding is probably the biggest issue with both alternatives, but with our own filesystem (from DLNA or in Dokan) we can present the newest data we have independent of where we are in the file (perhaps with a small delay). I've been looking into implementing DLNA support with FUSE and MythTV on Linux a couple of years ago, but I ended up in sticking with Mediaportal and Windows clients anyway due to the poor support for TV-cards on Linux... ...and I am no Windows developer either... :-( [/QUOTE]
