I'm not a programmer but I have talked to different developers about this stuff and here it is what I get:- This is the subforum of the gemx's MPWebServices plugin. Gemx's is a Mediaportal team developer who build this great tool some time ago and now has little time to improve it and add new features.- The first person you have to contact is DieBagger! He was going to improve the actual state of gemx's WebService applications and he is the person who open the thread you are referring to. I don't know which is the actual state of his progress, but his first thoughts were to take gemx's plugin (the plugin which's source code you have) and improve it with all the features that where discuss in "Consolidate Mediaportal Web Applications" thread.- Mike Lowrey and KayDiefenthal are developing a WMC application based on gemx's MPWebServices plugin. You can see the topic in which they are talking about <a href="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/tv-server-plugins-294/whats-happening-hometvserver-mce-client-tv-server-82442/" target="_blank">here</a>.- There are also more developers that are using their own's WebServices plugin, but in my opinion it's not a great idea, it would be much better to have a great, powerful and flexible plugin with different clients attached to it. You can have a look at Cheezey's <a href="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/ipimp-518/" target="_blank">iPiMP</a> (you can see his proyect in google code), two other guys are developing another webservices api and a android remote controller <a href="http://code.google.com/p/mp-remote/" target="_blank">here</a>, Shukuyen is developing a iPhone app with it's own plugin called <a href="http://code.google.com/p/wifiremote/" target="_blank">wifiremote</a>,... (I don't remember more proyects)As you can see there is no coordination between the proyects and everybody is working alone, so it would be great if someone could take the lead of the proyect and improve/or make a great WebService API to unified the other clients (WMC app, android and iPhone apps, Web app,...).The other possibility is to leave MP1 WebService as it is and start thinking from scratch about a new a better done WebService for Mediaportal 2. If you are interested in this option, you can contact Mediaportal2's Albert developer or open a new thread in Mediaportal 2 subforum: <a href="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/development-mediaportal-2-528/" target="_blank">here</a>. This can be the best option as in a few months most of Mediaportal developers are going to move to Mediaportal 2 development and MP1 is going to be improved mostly be users. Also you have the advantage of the more powerful and flexibiliy of MP2 <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Many thanks for your interest in all this proyects and I hope you can finally help with you knowledge to improve Mediaportal's WebServices. Thanks.Best regards,Aitor</blockquote>
