[QUOTE="Oxan, post: 690504, member: 97484"] Hi, First of all I want to say that MPWebServices is mostly dead. The 1.1.2 is the last version I released, as I'm switching to something else (which will probably be this TV4Home service, but then it will need to gain some extra functionality).

Of course anyone is welcome to take over the source and continue development.
