[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1093214, member: 82144"] Why abused? You seem to be assuming that some other process will always be running to ensure that _isRemotingConnected has the correct/true value. IMO that assumption is not necessarily correct. That is why I think you should use RemoteControl.Instance.* (like the TV plugin, MP configuration etc.) if you actually need to get information from the server. If the server is not present then yes you will have the timeout delay... but if you're worried about timeouts, simply don't make the call from threads that you don't want to be blocked. Minidisplay should have its own background thread for updating the recording and timeshifting status. It should definitely not do it in the UI thread, because that would block rendering the MP UI (!!!). [/QUOTE]
