[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1146646, member: 82144"] Okay, I think I understand. Thanks for answering my questions. :) Conceptually this feature sounds quite similar to the HbbTV "catch-up" feature which is implemented by various providers. I like the idea. Unfortunately with the HbbTV implementation the content is usually DRM protected, so it can't be viewed in MediaPortal. :( This alternative open RTSP/RTP implementation that you've described is very different to HbbTV. It seems like it would be possible to support the feature this way. However, I'm concerned. Before you mentioned it, I had not heard of any provider with such an implementation... and I'm not aware of any standards etc. In other words: I worry that it is a little tricky to implement, will only work for a few people, and could be changed/broken by the provider(s) at any time. Based on my concerns, personally I would currently choose not to implement the feature in "core" code... but maybe somebody with access to one of these providers could implement a plugin or modification that would enable the feature to work?
