is there a reason why popular movie sites like
kino - to
movie2k * com
aren't supported? I was wondering now because tvgorge support was added very fast and it's somehow as legal as the mentioned movie sites.

    kino(dot)to is German only (well, 98% is anyways).
    movie2k.com doesn't host their movies themselves and the quality is...crap.

    Personally I don't see why they should be in the list?

    ok, you are right. the quality is crap on every flash movie hoster site. but I think that adding this to MP-onlinevideos would MP generally bring more users. As far as I know all other mediacenter softwares already have such plugins.

    For me personally it's not worth because of the quality, but maybe for others. I was just confused because all the series hosters got included and most of them don't offer a better quality than the movie hosters.

    Easy, they are sites that host illegal content!
    If you want them in OnlineVideos you will have to write your own util or find regexes.

    kino_to support?

    Hey,

    I already read a statement of offbyone in this thread to kino_to.
    But kino_to is not hosting illegal content. It is just linking to Webstreamservers that are hosting Videos. It depends on the country law which of these contents are illegal. kino_to anyway is not illegal. even in germany it is a legal limbo and would require a judicial decision to call it illegal.

    here is a german statement:
    Ist diese Seite illegal?
    kino_to ist nicht illegal, kino_to hostet keine eigenen Streams sondern verlinkt nur embeded Codes. Die Rechtslage ist je nach Land verschieden. Daher kann das anschauen von Videostreams in Ihrem Land je nach Stream illegal sein. Das betreten und nutzen der Seite kino_to selber ist nicht illegal. In der Schweiz ist das anschauen von OnlineStreams legal.

    kino_to is a big site, that is used by many german-speaking people. what reasons would there be not to add it?
    thank you for your attention

    I moved your post here, because
    a) why crosspost into another thread, if you have already seen this one?
    b) No more discussion about sites that host OR provide links to illegal content in this forum!

    You can add support for this site by yourself if you need it - it's an open community project. It will not come officialy.

    Then you didn’t use Nereus Skin in MP2. tMM does a great job in combination with MP2 it’s the best, if you ask me.

    Hi, must be really a while, cuz I can not remember any post from you ;) But might be also that I joined the team too late. Yes, there will be many things. Main reason is simply, that MP2 is not developed based on MP1. I for example never used MP1. I tried it lately to test voice control and was shocked about many inconsistancies in...

    I've been using version 1.2.2.0 for years and have found no need to upgrade to newer version. I hate it that skins loose compatibility with almost every new version. And new skins are too 'fancy' for my taste. I use a customized version of the default wide skin with only Videos and TV in the main menu. I use mediaportal for recording...
