Every 9th Playback Fails!

Sorry, this is never going to happen. Lots of reasons, probably the most significant being the numerous non disclosure agreements I've signed along the way, but even ignoring these I wouldnt have made it open source anyway.

I know... But take it as a compliment. It's become a critical part of my technology landscape... and as such, it can be un-nerving having its destiny directed by one person.

I'm also aware of the power of a single, consistent vision. :o

How about a paid source license?

Even if it was to disappear tomorrow (its not!), then it had a pretty decent life, so being in the hands of one person hasnt been a problem in my mind.

Its been around for three years nows, which is longer than a lot of software. In that time some companies (like Meedio for example) have entered the market, collected peoples monies, hung around for a couple of years then left their users high and dry. Being in the hands of more of a substantial organisation didnt really help them. GB-PVR users have had a relatively stress free existence over this same period - good communication, good support, regular updates etc.

Nope, no chance.

I understand.

That's a fair assessment.

Nope, no chance.

Well, let me try another angle... I'm a software developer by day. I've had a passing interest in developing extensions for GB-PVR. The available information regarding plugin development seems to have improved noticably in the last year or so (my timeline may be off)... But here are a couple of questions:

What is your roadmap for GB-PVR?

What's your policy around supporting the APIs that are exposed by GB-PVR?

What if GB-PVR doesn't expose a piece of functionality that I'd like to be able to access?

What if something isn't documented that I need to understand?

Is there any kind of assistance that you could use from the community? Documentation?
