@nunigaia , thank you very much for your kind supports. I seem still have some confusion.
1. What is the relationship between the EMC and the mediaplayer (default Mediaplayer)? Independ or the mediaplayer is a part of the EMC?
2. According my understood, the mediaplayer 2 is an independed plugin which can replace the default mediaplayer. Is my understanding correct?

1 ) - Mediaplayer ( that i named classic ), is included on image by default. They are independent, you can perfectly uninstall ( by hand ) MEDIAPLAYER and install Enhanced Movie Center as your Default Player
1.1) - I have uninstalled Mediaplayer ( Classic ), installed MEDIAPLAYER2 and Subssupport, for XBMC and the same Subssuport for EMC that i have installed too ( to play local files on Vuplus Duo2 ).
2 . Yes, indeed!

Streams could be problematic regarding bandwith, and of course the number of users viewing the stream!
I´ve 120 Mb bandwith, mate. This could be why i´ve not freezing, or dued minus users connected, when i tested.

1) It´s for viewing game´s streaming. you can google for it and watch, don´t need to install, i´m not a lover of online games ( not for my age, lol ).
2) Xmbc works, but there is severall misses, like pvr addon ( as i know ). Better with Mediaplayer2, with it you´ll have support to subtitles ).
3) nothing at all. You are
See you
bye

Hi, @nunigaia , I just ready to install the Mediaplayer 2. I have read your tutorial about the installation. However, I still have some questions.
1. If I install the Mediaplayer 2, Can I still keep the EMC in my receiver without uninstall it?
2. I plan to install the latest version Mediaplayer 2( Ver 0.59) and Sub ssupport (Ver 1.52, beta 3) (the 5 ipk files). Do I need to install (copy) the plugin.py to the folder of XBMC as your mentioned in the tutorial? What the python-difflib ..... is?
3. Regarding to un-install the default classic mediaplayer, you use Dream control tool, when selected the mediaplayer folder, press the delete button to un-install the classic mediaplayer. What it means? It means 'delete the folder' or 'The dream tool will run a procedure to un-install the classic mediaplayer and modify related settings? Because I use a different FTP tool access my receiver, only can do delete.
4. Regarding the SSH/Telnet in your Fig 2 in the tutorial, the instuction says we should run 3 commands, opkg remove .... , What they are for? I have not install any mediaplayer2 yet, why I need to remove ? or The 3 commands just clean the file list of the package registration? Do I have to run them?
Sorry for so many questions.
