[QUOTE="DieBagger, post: 799448, member: 56421"] Well, MpExtended is a replacement for Tv4Home (the coreservice part at least) AND GmaWebservice. So basically with MpExtended you can: [LIST] [*]Get all the media information (video, movie, music,...) -> previously Gma [*]Control your Tv (get channels, groups, start timeshift, etc) -> previously tv4home [*]Auto-Detect MediaPortal installations with ZeroConf (bonjour) [*]Start/Close MediaPortal remotely with the new tray application [*]STREAM all content (artwork, media, tv, tv recordings) [*]Configure the service from a settings GUI [*]Install all services/applications with a single installer [/LIST] So regarding the backend, MpExtended is the way to go. WifiRemote has a slightly different scope as it runs as a MediaPortal plugin (only active when MediaPortal is running) and mainly provides a means to interact with a running MP instance.
