[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1146718, member: 82144"] Personally I think maybe it would help for you to try to learn more about what "this" is. For example, here in New Zealand people have been able to watch "on demand" shows on phones and tablets for some time. Each broadcaster has had their own website. You search for the program you want by name. Some programs are not available. For the programs that are available, usually only a few most recent episodes are available (ie. really old ones not available). No movies. Recently the free-to-air broadcasters launched "Freeview+", which is an HbbTV implementation of the concept you described. Old programs are visible in the guide. There is a "connection" from the guide program to the related on demand program. However, all the content on the on demand platforms is BrightCove etc. protected. So, there's probably no hope/point in MP implementing support for that. My point is: not all implementations of this feature are the same. The detail is important in order to know whether it is feasible to implement support in MP. I don't fully agree. Scanning itself is one example of where you can ask TV Server to tune a completely custom defined channel. I think this should be possible from the client side too. If not, it shouldn't be too hard to add such an API function. Of course the URL will always have to be static.
