[QUOTE="funkstar, post: 535580, member: 14311"] The TV-Server isn't exactly the same as a myth-backend. The TV-Server is only that, a server for TV, everything else (music, videos, photos, etc.) is handled directly with shares by the MediaPortal clients. MythTV has had a FE/BE architecture for a long time now, MediaPortals is a lot less mature, but it is progressing nicely. So the only things that are pulled from the TV-Server is the EPG, live streams and previously recorded TV. In the future this will change. MP2 is a complete ground up re-write of MediaPortal, part of this change is architecture is that far more will be handled by the server, pushing data and settings out to the clients. I don't know how far this will go, especially initially. But the mechanisms will be there for this to be a very powerful and flexible setup. The only problem is that MP2 is still under some very heavy development work and not in the public domain just yet.
