steve1977 67 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Was wondering whether there are any plans to bring MBT to OSX or even Linux/Openelec. I am referring to the client rather than the server solution. I know that I can always run XBMC with add-on to access MBS, but would hope for an independent client solution. Particularly for OSX, where there are quite some issues with the XBMC solution. I think I am not alone using a MacMini as HTPC client, so also believe this would increase the userbase. No idea how much work it is to port MBT from Win to OSX, but hoping it will happen one day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37046 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I think a new client app for OSX would be great. I know there are some osx developers here in this community, so you never know. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schroinx 10 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 It would be nice indeed with an OSX client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37046 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Actually OSX is possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesegeezer 3086 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I think it is too using silverlight should allow us to achieve this using OOB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1977 67 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 You are referring to a MBT port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefirstofthe300 291 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 So with Microsoft open-sourcing .NET and the plans to port the framwork to Linux and OS X, does this mean that the possibility exists for MBT support in Linux and OS X? Or is it still too soon to tell how this will all work out? It would be nice to have a plug-and-play client for Linux that just works out of the box.

Or is it still too soon to tell how this will all work out? MBT is built using WPF, this is not being made available on OS X. It's only the core .NET framework that is, which, sadly, doesn't include WPF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
