[QUOTE="logifuse, post: 956397, member: 110442"] You can run XBMC as a front end for TVE3 (MP TV Server). XBMC has a common PVR addon & from there you can select the plugin for your TV server (MP, Argus, TV Headend, Myth TV, etc.). It's very basic compared to the TV Plugin in an MP front end. Why would you use Argus over TVE3? For me, it was stability, particularly in a multi-client environment. Once up & running, it's bullet proof. I've always found TVE3 to be flaky under pressure. The advanced scheduling rules are great too, & the standalone console (you can just use the MP interface if you like) is great. I tend to schedule via the standalone console on my desktop PC & delete recordings in MP after I've watched them. Unlike TVE3, Argus is digital broadcast only (no analogue or line in support). As for the very bad hack - the MP client for Argus basically over-writes the files for the TV client for MP. You're not going to use both, so what's the problem? You don't have to mess around getting Argus to be the default TV client in MP & the remote works properly straight off. [/QUOTE]
