I was infact thinking of cassini as I used it to create pages for my KISS DP-500 and to stream AVI's to it.

It's been so long since I used it I forgot the name.

VNC is of course the easiest way to manage it so far, I just don't find it very elegant.

Webservices sound great until you realize that each plugin would need it's own and you will still need to run a webserver on the machine and you would need a client to consume the service.

If however cassini was integrated the plugins could output their own UI (based on the UI or a custom UI)

Then all you would need to do is to browse directly to the HTPC.

Your right I do generally know my C# I should do I have programming in c# professionally for 4 years now. I have written alot of directshow stuff in c# using interop. I have also done some direct3d but only the basics.

Anyway I think mediaportal is the best media player ever period and I would love to contribute.

I also had some ideas of in regards to homecontrol plugins and security plugins.

For example (And this would tie in nicely with the webserver above) would it not be great to attach you home security cameras to secondary tv/capture card and then browse timesegments or streaming video of your secuity cams.

Lots of ideas and I will try and implement some in the near future.
