By the way, if we already discussing EPG... I think the epg.data is very limited. I would like to see an option to integrate pictures or even movies in that file. Ofcause I could place tags in description and have a plugin that could

those tags and show the pictures stored somewhere else, but I think it should all be located in the same place.
I can't imagine why you would want to mix movies and epg data together. The size of that file would grow tremendously which I assume would have nothing but adverse affects. I don't really see the point of pictures either. Can you elaborate on what purpose this would serve?
Well, I agree that storing meida files separately would be wiser, but being able to point to those files from within the EPG.data file without abusing description or other fields with tags-reinvention will be helpful. The use is simple, show more information for programs. Many sities of the channels provide that information already, including pictures and movie trailers. There is also IMDB that can be used. As an example, MythTv has a nice use of IMDB for stored movies. Same can be implemented for live movies as well.
