Of course this is a possibility, but would you really like a mp3 plugin 
where you have always your tv set switched on, just to control it?
If you dont use a cControl  Class, you have no progress bar, no color 
instant keys, to stop, pause , skip etc.
i for my part thougt this featurers are really a neccessity.
And live viewing is possible the way i did. just the missing channel 
switching is a small problem,
which could be easily cured(i think) if the cPlayer or cControl base 
class has a property "ThisPlayerClassDontUseChannelAndNumberkeys".

Sorry but, i dont think it is hard to read. why do you think so? i for 
my part can better follow a discussion, if
it is contained in one mail. and there a a lot more mails which are two 
or three times longer than my replies.
the right email client supports you in easily reading such mails ;-)
