[QUOTE="RoyN, post: 65535, member: 19028"] While I do sort of understand your concerns, for an open source project they dont quite stand up fully.... somehow that sounds a bit more like corporate talk... (at no moment am I dissing you, samuel337, i respect everything you have done for MP!) Seriously though, on one side there is the ability to deploy something quicker, test it out better (because you can use the myth back end to test and develop the MP frontend without even having an MP BE yet), and on the other hand is the fear of having to help users installing myth? Sounds odd, but I do understand your fear of this being flooded with linux install questions.... in that aspect I really cant say what I really feel since I've only very superficially skimmed the myth forums... Anyways, standards like upnp and the other one you mentioned (I'm not familiar with it) are always a plus I guess... there really is no gain by doing things in a new way here...(especially since even large companies are adhereing to the standards apparently - upnp extenders available, etc)... anyways, you say "I just completed a mythtv BE/FE installation - much easier on windows than linux. " you installed a myth backend on windows??? I'm about to test a myth install using knoppmyth, since I need something that serves live tv streams from a central server... other than that I'm waiting for MP to be able to do it... Any ideas on what is done/being done on the new engine? in terms of a tentative timeline or something? [/QUOTE]
