The bigest problem in those days was the lack on testers and dev's, and the huge amount plugins and skins. Today the software is as good and better than all progs on the market where you must pay for. MP is on my system rock solid. it never fails to record anymore, it plays almost everything, my wife and kids use it now and still it runs 24/7. I do not use only basics, in my house i have a server/client in the closset where the cables coming in to my house, a client in the master bedroom, a second client in the kids playroom, and one in my office. The server/client is connected to the tv in the livingroom. I use 3 Terratec H7 DVB-C tuners and there is more than 10 TB storrage in the server where everything comes from. So i think that i have a complex system in my house bus MP Does it ALL. The configuration of all the systems is a lot of work, but on the other side i must say that almost everything can be done. There is nothing so flexibel and configurable as MP, and than all the hardware and os versions supported. Than there is the speed of developing, MP and all the plugins and skins evolving at super speed. Ofcourse there where problems that took a great amount of time to get rid-off. And also where is it possibel to talk 1 on 1 with the developers and desiners, that is a big advantage MP has. Everyone helps in case of problems, and most of the time when a problem not can be solved the reason is insuficient information from user side. From the time that the team decided a feature freeze and code cleanup MP gained preformance and Stability. User-friendly GUI was never a problem, configuration is much improved especialy TV Server side, but still it has minor things. MP is for an basic computer user configurable, you don't need special skills to do the config. And second of all, when it all is configured it works and you don't need to see that again. On the plus side as earlier mentioned you have a system that is superior on all available mediacenters including Microsoft MCE. When you go from MP to something else you go back in time. If friends come to my house for a visit and they see what its capable off their mouth is falling open and they loos teeth. So thanks too all the Devs, testers, designers, community and other people and companys i forgot to make MP to what it is! Also to the retired team members and especialy Frodo And i can not imagine that MP2 can be better than what we have now, but you guys will make it special.Kind RegaardsWietze</blockquote>
