In my opinion this was not finally and exactly determined...

And the next question: Am I allowed to submit a project I participated with at the last competition?

There is no rule for this. But in my opinion there should be a rule to exclude superb projects to "win" again and again and again.
But as long as there is no rule to participate only once... why don't fill up our small competition with a additional contribution?

My change:
I added to my DreamRemote project now support for the Linux VDR-Live project. It seems to work so far flawless.
It's in my opinion not a reinvention of the wheel. But it's also not a totally small change...
So, any comments? What does the community think?
I dunno man, if you spent at least 20 hours on adding stuff yourself and are not entering it in the beginner category, I have no problem with your submission.

I've got my own question: can we extend the competition another week or two? I really need to test my app on the n950 since it refuses to run on maemo5 once I enabled some geomapping stuff from Qt Mobility.I just found another Qt Mobility feature (QSystemAlignedTimer) that doesn't work on maemo5 too. I can fix that stuff for maemo5 later, after the competition. But this means I can't test my app on the n900, and the Qt simulator doesn't support some dbus stuff I need or the sys aligned timer either... No problem if Nokia puts my n950 in the mail, but it's still not shipped. I've got some family coming to visit me at the end of the month too, so I probably have less time to work on this later if anything.
Anyways, I thought the main reason we extended it was so we can get some time to test things on the n950s, so is anyone else waiting for one? I don't want to cause the competition to get extended just for me, so please say something if you are in the same boat

-edit-
Just got an email saying they shipped it today, so I might be okay.
