[QUOTE="Oxan, post: 776370, member: 97484"] Ah yeah, I'll add a note about that to the source when I'm firing up VS again. No, we haven't written it down yet; most of the ideas are in our heads and the WLM/IRC history. Basically during development of the streaming features for GMA and TV4Home we came to the conclusion that streaming was so complicated that it deserved it's own service. Because letting the user install 3 separate services was a bit too much in our opinion, our main goal was to make it easier for the user to setup. This means that for singleseat setups there is only one installer. To accomplish this, we've merged all source (GMA, TV4Home and MPWebStream) code into a single [url=http://mpextended.codeplex.com/]project[/url], cleaned it up and removed redunant code, so that we now have a common base for remote access to both the MediaPortal client and server. This includes a single service that hosts everything and handles configuration/authentication. Multiseat is slightly more complicated but still supported. For the next release our plans basically are a major cleanup of the GMA API and code, much easier setup, improved streaming (HTTP Live Streaming + VLC support) and some other things I'm not really sure about.
