[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1305775, member: 141969"] Yes, that is the case. Some years ago the situation arose where members of the team had different ideas about how the product should progress, and as a result the team split into two, rather like the split that resulted in the creation of OpenOffice and LibreOffice. For whatever reason, the MP2 developers one by one decided to retire (or take an indefinite sabbatical), and now there is no one left. MP2 supports: [LIST] [*]A central database on the server (start watching a recording in one room; stop playback; go to a different room and resume watching there). [*]Picture in picture for TV. [*]A skin that closely matches Windows Media Center. [/LIST] MP1 does not support any of the above, but has the significant advantage that it is still being enhanced and problems fixed (albeit at a slower rate compared to the early years). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
