Must Have Plugins and Features?

bozer · 2008-01-18, 21:27

Hey all,

Installed Media Portal at home last night and spent about 10 minutes messing with it. It looks fantastic. Blows my mind how you guys did a better job with this then Microsoft did with Media Center.

Anyway..

Can someone tell me some of the must have plugins.. or maybe some tricks/things I should do right away? Any cool tweaks or anything I should know about?

I plan on hooking my PC up to my Plasma and using it video HDMI>DVI. Not planning on using it for TV recording at all.

Thanks!

TV-series plugin is a must.. You will love it

Oh and take a look at the skin section, lots of cool stuff there as well! Amongst others; monochrome and xephyr - my favorites

If you are dutch: Uitzending Gemist is great.
My Emulators is great for Old School games.
And Last.FM is simply amazing for music!
